ICX055BL

E98225A99

Diagonal 6mm (Type 1/3) CCD Image Sensor for CCIR B/W Video Cameras

Description

The ICX055BL is an interline CCD solid-state image

sensor suitable for CCIR B/W video cameras.

Compared with the current product ICX055AL,

sensitivity is improved drastically through the adoption

of Super HAD CCD technology.

This chip features a field period readout system,

and an electronic shutter with variable charge-storage

time.

Features

• High sensitivity (+4dB at F8, +2dB at F1.2 compared with ICX055AL)

• High saturation signal (+1dB compared with ICX055AL)

• Low smear and low dark current

• Excellent antiblooming characteristics

• Continuous variable-speed shutter

• Horizontal register: 5V drive

• Reset gate:

5V drive
