Diagonal 6.67mm (Type 1/2.7) Frame Readout CCD Image Sensor with a Square Pixel for Color Cameras
Description
The ICX432DQ is a diagonal 6.67mm (Type 1/2.7)
interline CCD solid-state image sensor with a square
pixel array and 3.24M effective pixels. Adoption of a
3-field readout system ensures small size and high
performance. This chip features an electronic shutter
with variable charge-storage time.
R, G, B primary color mosaic filters are used as
the color filters, and at the same time high sensitivity
and low dark current are achieved through the
adoption of Super HAD CCD technology.
This chip is suitable for applications such as
electronic still cameras, etc.
Features
• Supports frame readout system
• High horizontal and vertical resolution
• Supports high frame rate readout mode : 30 frames/s,
AF mode : 60 frames/s, 50 frames/s
• Square pixel
• Horizontal drive frequency: 24.3MHz

Cross-point voltage for the Hφ1 rising side of the horizontal transfer clocks Hφ1 and Hφ2 waveforms is VCR.
The overlap period for twh and twl of horizontal transfer clocks Hφ1 and Hφ2 is two.

VRGLH is the maximum value and VRGLL is the minimum value of the coupling waveform during the period from
Point A in the above diagram until the rising edge of RG.
In addition, VRGL is the average value of VRGLH and VRGLL.
VRGL = (VRGLH + VRGLL)/2
Assuming VRGH is the minimum value during the interval with twh, then:
VφRG = VRGH – VRGL
Negative overshoot level during the falling edge of RG is VRGLm.
