1/3-inch CCD Image Sensor for EIA Black-and-White Video Camera

Description

The ICX058AL is an interline CCD solid-state image
sensor suitable for EIA black-and-white video cameras.
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.

Indications of substrate voltage (VSUB) · reset gate clock voltage (VRGL) setting value.
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%.

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, LHφ1, 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, Hφ2 and LHφ1 pins, while VL pin is grounded.
However, GND and SUB pins are left open.
