ICX081AK

E95703D99

Diagonal 6mm (Type 1/3) CCD Image Sensor for PAL Color Video Cameras

Description

The ICX081AK is an interline CCD solid-state

image sensor suitable for PAL color video cameras.

This chip conforms to DV standard SD mode, and

has the optimal number of pixels for MPEG2 Main

level. While achieving a horizontal resolution of 450

TV lines, the area has been expanded 33% in both

vertical and horizontal directions, making the chip

suitable

for

electronic

vibration

stabilizer

and

electronic panning/tilting. In addition, complete 16:9

wide aspect ratio images are provided with a high

picture quality without requiring vertical interpolation.

High sensitivity and low dark current are achieved

through the adoption of Ye, Cy, Mg and G

complementary color mosaic filters and HAD (Hole-

Accumulation Diode) sensors.

This chip features a field period readout system

and an electronic shutter with variable charge-

storage time.

The package is a 16-pin DIP (Plastic), and both

top and bottom surface reference can be assured at

the same time.
