and horizontal shift register. With their small lens
and WLCC-type flat package, it is possible to make
ultra small color camera easily.

NOTES :

1. Do not connect to DC voltage directly. When OFD is connected to GND, connect VOD to GND. Overflow drain clock is
applied below 27 Vp-p.

2. Do not connect to DC voltage directly. When Ø

RS is connected to GND, connect VOD to GND. Reset gate clock is

applied below 8 Vp-p.

3. When clock width is below 10 µs, and clock duty factor is below 0.1%, voltage difference between vertical clocks will be
below 28 V.

NOTES :

1. Use the circuit parameter indicated in "SYSTEM CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE", and do not connect to DC voltage directly.

2. V

PW is set below VØVL that is low level of vertical shift register clock, or is used with the same power supply that is connected

to V

L of V driver IC.

* To apply power, first connect GND and then turn on V

OD. After turning on VOD, turn on PW first and then turn on other powers

and pulses. Do not connect the device to or disconnect it from the plug socket while power is being applied.

NOTES :

1. The average output voltage of G signal in the central

area (H/10, V/10) under uniform illumination.
The standard exposure conditions are defined as when
V

O is 150 mV.

2. The average output voltage of G signal in the central
area (H/10, V/10) under 10 times exposure of the
standard exposure conditions.

3. The average output voltage of G signal in the central
area (H/10, V/10) when a 1 000 lux light source with a
white board of 90% reflector is imaged.

4. The resolution in the central area (H/10, V/10) at which
the image of the TV resolution chart (ex. EIAJ test chart)
can be distinguished on the B/W video monitor when

converted into composite video signals.

5. The resolution in the peripheral area (image height : Y =

0.8) under the conditions mentioned above.

6. Defined by the following formula at the brightness of
standard output voltage : (Vco/Vce) x 100 [%]
Vco : Output voltage at edge of the image (at NTSC

video output).

Vce : Output voltage at center of the image (at NTSC

video output).

7. The difference between the center position of image and
that of the monitor. This is the ratio for the horizontal
underscanning monitor size which includes the decentering
eccentricity when turning the lens head one time.

PRECAUTIONS FOR BUILT-IN LENS CCD
AREA SENSORS

1. Package Breakage

In order to prevent the package, the lens holder,
and the lens from being broken, follow the
instructions below :

1) The CCD is a precise optical component and
the package-base material is ceramic.
Therefore,
øTake care not to drop the device when

mounting, handling, or transporting.

øAvoid giving a shock to the package.

Especially when leads are fixed to the socket
or the circuit board, a small shock could
break the package more easily than when the
package isn’t fixed.

2) When adjusting the focus, screw the lens holder
to the circuit board before soldering the leads.
At that time, make sure to use a circuit board
with plenty of strength, and to avoid the
package and the lens holder from being broken,
the following screw and clamp torque are
recommended.

ø Recommended mounting screw :

Ø1.7 tapping screw (B-tight type),
Length, L = the thickness of the circuit board

+ 5 mm

ø Recommended clamp torque : 0.012 N·m

[however, when the thickness of the circuit
board is thinner than t = 2.0 mm]

3) If any damage or breakage occurs on the
surface of the lens, its characteristics could
deteriorate.
Therefore,

ø Do not hit the lens.
ø Do not give a shock large enough to cause

distortion.

ø Do not scrub or scratch the surface of the

lens.

– Even a soft cloth or applicator, if dry, could

cause dust to scratch the lens.

2. Electrostatic Damage

As compared with general MOS-LSI, CCD has
lower ESD. Therefore, take the following anti-static
measures when handling the CCD :

1) Always discharge static electricity by grounding
the human body and the instrument to be used.
To ground the human body, provide resistance
of about 1 M$ between the human body and
the ground to be on the safe side.

2) When directly handling the device with the
fingers, hold the lens holder and do not touch
the lead.

3) To avoid generating static electricity,
a. do not scrub the device with cloth or plastic.
b. do not attach any tape or labels.

c. do not clean the device with dust-cleaning

tape.

4) When storing or transporting the device, put it in
a container of conductive material.

3. Dust and Contamination

Dust or contamination on the surface of the lens
and the inside of the lens holder could deteriorate
the output characteristics or cause a scar. In order
to minimize dust or contamination on the device,
take the following precautions :

1) Do not remove the lens from the body.
Especially when adjusting macro, be careful not
to remove the lens by turning it counter­clockwise too much.

2) Do not touch the surface of the lens with the
fingers. If dust or contamination gets on the
surface of the lens, the following cleaning
method is recommended :
ø Handle the built-in lens CCD in a clean

environment such as a cleaned booth. (The
cleanliness level should be, if possible, class
1 000 at least.)

– In case where the soldering may exceed the

time mentioned above, resume the work
after the device returns to normal
temperature.

ø Do not put too much force onto the lens and

the lens holder while soldering.

ø Be careful not to let the soldering iron touch

the lens holder.

– Soldering can be quickly/neatly done by

laying the soldering iron so it lightly touches
the border between the package and the
circuit board and sliding it in sideways.

2) There is no guarantee of the performance of
the device which has been removed or
resoldered after being soldered once under the
conditions mentioned above.

– In case there seems to be an inferior device,

consult with our sales office before removing
it.

3) Avoid using or storing the CCD at high
temperature or high humidity as it is a precise
optical component. Do not give a mechanical
shock to the CCD.

4) Do not expose the device to strong light. For
the color device, long exposure to strong light
will fade the color of the color filters.

ø Dust from static electricity should be blown

off with an ionized air blower. For anti­electrostatic measures, however, ground all
the leads on the device before blowing off
the dust.

ø The contamination on the surface of the lens

should be wiped off with a clean applicator
soaked in isopropyl alcohol. Wipe slowly and
gently in one direction only.

– Frequently replace the applicator and do not

use the same applicator to clean more than
one device.

ø Make sure there is no dust or contamination

on the lens and screw it on the lens holder.

4. Other

1) Soldering should be manually performed under
the following conditions :

ø Use ESD-measured soldering iron
ø The conditions of the soldering time in which

the soldering iron touches the package,
differs by the shape and the temperature of
the iron end. Refer to the table below and
take great care in soldering.
