Description

The FXA 1012 is a colour frame-transfer CCD image sensor designed

for consumer digital photography applications. The combination of

high speed and a high linear dynamic range of over 10 true bits

makes this device the perfect solution for use in compact high quality

imaging applications. Two modes of operation provide both a

monitoring image for LCD screens, and a full resolution, zero-smear

still image with excellent colour rendition. The device structure is

shown in figure 1.
