ICX418AKL
Diagonal 8mm (Type 1/2) CCD Image Sensor for NTSC Color Video Cameras
The ICX418AKL is an interline CCD solid-state image sensor suitable for NTSC color video cameras with a diagonal 8mm (Type 1/2) system. Compared with the current product ICX038DNA, basic characteristics such as sensitivity, smear, dynamic range and S/N are improved drastically.
This chip features a field period readout system and an electronic shutter with variable charge-storage time. This chip is compatible with the pins of the ICX038DNA and has the same drive conditions.
Features
High sensitivity (+6.0dB compared with the ICX038DNA)
Low smear (–5.0dB compared with the ICX038DNA)
High D range (+2.0dB compared with the ICX038DNA)
High S/N
High resolution and low dark current
Excellent antiblooming characteristics
Ye, Cy, Mg, and G complementary color mosaic filters on chip
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

The setting value of the substrate voltage (VSUB) is indicated on the back of the image sensor by a special code. When adjusting the substrate voltage externally, adjust the substrate voltage to the indicated voltage. The adjustment precision is ±3%. However, this setting value has not significance when used in substrate bias internal generation mode.
