Description

The ICX259AL is an interline CCD solid-state image sensor suitable for CCIR B/W video cameras with a diagonal 6mm (Type 1/3) system. Compared with the current product ICX059CL, basic characteristics such as sensitivity, smear, dynamic range and S/N are improved drastically from visible light region to near infrared light region through the adoption of EXview HAD CCDTM technology.

This chip features a field period readout system and an electronic shutter with variable charge-storage time.

Features

• Sensitivity in near infrared light region (+8dB compared with the ICX059CL, λ = 945nm)

• High sensitivity (+7dB compared with the ICX059CL, no IR cut filter)

• Low smear (–20dB compared with the ICX059CL)

• High D range (+5dB compared with the ICX059CL)

• High S/N

• High resolution and low dark current

• Excellent antiblooming characteristics

• Continuous variable-speed shutter

• No voltage adjustment (Reset gate and substrate bias are not adjusted.)

• Reset gate: 5V drive

• Horizontal register: 5V drive
