KC74129C 1/4 INCH CCD IMAGE SENSOR FOR PAL CAMERA
INTRODUCTION
The KC74129C is an interline transfer CCD area image
sensor developed for PAL 1/4 inch optical format video
cameras, surveillance cameras, object detectors and image
pattern recognizers. High sensitivity is achieved through the
adoption of Ye, Cy, Mg and G complementary color mosaic
filters, on-chip micro lenses and HAD (Hole Accumulated
Diode) photosensors. This chip features a field integration
read out system and an electronic shutter with variable charge
storage time.
