Description

The ICX098AK is a diagonal 4.5mm (Type 1/4)

interline CCD solid-state image sensor with a square

pixel array which supports VGA format. Progressive

scan

allows

all

pixels

signals

to

be

output

independently within approximately 1/30 second.

Also, the adoption of monitoring mode allows output

to an NTSC monitor without passing through the

memory. This chip features an electronic shutter with

variable charge-storage time which makes it possible

to realize full-frame still image without a mechanical

shutter. High resolution and high color reproductivity

are achieved through the use of R, G, B primary color

mosaic filters. Further, high sensitivity and low dark

current are achieved through the adoption of HAD

(Hole-Accumulation Diode) sensors.

This chip is suitable for applications such as electronic

still cameras, PC input cameras, etc.

Features

• Progressive scan allows individual readout of the

image signals from all pixels.

• High horizontal and vertical resolution (both approx.

400TV-lines) still image without a mechanical

shutter.

• Supports monitoring mode

• Square pixel

• Supports VGA format

• Horizontal drive frequency: 12.27MHz

• No voltage adjustments (reset gate and substrate

bias are not adjusted.)

• R, G, B primary color mosaic filters on chip

• High resolution, high color reproductivity, high

sensitivity, low dark current

• Continuous variable-speed shutter

• Low smear

• Excellent antiblooming characteristics

• Horizontal register: 3.3V drive

• 14-pin high precision plastic package (enables dual-surface standard)
