Diagonal 4.5mm (Type 1/4) Progressive Scan CCD Image Sensor with Square Pixel for B/W Cameras

Description

The ICX098AL 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 supports 60

frame/s. 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. 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 second-

dimensional bar-code reader, PC input cameras, etc.

Features

• Progressive scan allows individual readout of the

image signals from all pixels.

• High horizontal and vertical resolution (both approx.

480TV-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.)

• High resolution, 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)
