ICX038DLA
E95931C99
Diagonal 8mm (T ype 1/2) CCD Image Sensor for EIA Black-and-White V ideo Cameras
Description
The ICX038DLA is an interline CCD solid-state
image sensor suitable for EIA black-and-white video
cameras with a diagonal 8mm (Type 1/2) system.
Smear, sensitivity, D-range, S/N and other
characteristics have been greatly improved
compared with the ICX038BLA. High sensitivity and
low dark current are achieved through the adoption
of HAD (Hole-Accumulation Diode) sensors.
This chip features a field period readout system and
an electronic shutter with variable charge-storage
time.
This chip is compatible with and can replace the
ICX038BLA.
Features
• Low smear (–20dB compared with the ICX038BLA)
• High sensitivity (+3.0dB compared with the ICX038BLA)
• High D range (+2.5dB compared with the ICX038BLA)
• High S/N
• High resolution and low dark current
• Excellent antiblooming characteristics
• Continuous variable-speed shutter
• Substrate bias: Adjustment free (external adjustment also possible with 6 to 14V)
• Reset gate pulse: 5Vp-p adjustment free (drive also possible with 0 to 9V)
• Horizontal register: 5V drive
