1/3-inch CCD Image Sensor for CCIR B/W Camera
Description
The ICX055AL is an interline CCD solid-state
image sensor suitable for CCIR 1/3-inch B/W video
cameras. High sensitivity is achieved through the
adoption of HAD (Hole-Accumulation Diode) sensors.
This chip features a field period readout system,
and an electronic shutter with variable chargestorage time.
Features
• High sensitivity (+3dB compare with ICX045BLA)
and low dark current
• Continuous variable-speed shutter
1/50s (Typ.), 1/120s to 1/10000s
• Low smear
• Excellent antiblooming characteristics
• Horizontal register: 5V drive
• Reset gate:5V drive

The setting values of substrate voltage and reset gate clock voltage are indicated on the back of the image
sensor by a special code. Adjust substrate voltage (VSUB) and reset gate clock voltage (VRGL) to the
indicated voltage. Fluctuation range after adjustment is ±3%.

1) Current to each pin when 18V is applied to VDD, VOUT, Vss and SUB pins, while pins that are not tested
are grounded.
2) Current to each pin when 20V is applied sequentially to Vφ1, Vφ2, Vφ3 and Vφ4 pins, while pins that are
not tested are grounded. However, 20V is applied to SUB pin.
3) Current to each pin when 15V is applied sequentially to RG, Hφ1, Hφ2 and VGG pins, while pins that are
not tested are grounded. However, 15V is applied to SUB pin.
4) Current to VL pin when 30V is applied to Vφ1, Vφ2, Vφ3, Vφ4, VDD and VOUT pins or when, 24V is applied
to RG pin or when, 20V is applied to VGG, Vss, Hφ1 and Hφ2 pins, while VL pin is grounded. However,
GND and SUB pins are left open.
