ICX418ALB
16 pin DIP (Ceramic)
Description
The ICX418ALB is an interline CCD solid-state
image sensor suitable for EIA B/W video cameras
with a diagonal 8mm (Type 1/2) system. Compared
with the current product ICX038DLB, 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. Also, this outline is miniaturized by using
original package. This chip is compatible with the
pins of the ICX038DLB and has the same drive
conditions.
Features
High sensitivity (+5.0dB compared with the ICX038DLB)
Low smear (–5.0dB compared with the ICX038DLB
High D range (+2.0dB compared with the ICX038DLB)
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
Maximum package dimensions: φ13.2mm
