ICX404AK
Diagonal 6mm (Type 1/3) CCD Image Sensor for NTSC Color Video Cameras
Description
The ICX404AK is an interline CCD solid-state
image sensor suitable for NTSC color video cameras
with a diagonal 6mm (Type 1/3) system. Compared
with the conventional product ICX054BK, 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 suitable for applications such as surveillance
cameras, automotive cameras, etc.
