ICX259AL

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

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

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
