DEFINITIONS OF CHARACTERISTIC ITEMS
1. Saturation voltage: Vsat
Output signal voltage at which the response linearity is lost.
2. Saturation exposure: SE
Product of intensity of illumination (IX) and storage time (s) when saturation of output voltage occurs.
3. Photo response non-uniformity: PRNU
The output signal non-uniformity of all the valid pixels when the photosensitive surface is applied with the light
of uniform illumination. This is calculated by the following formula.
4. Average dark signal: ADS
Average output signal voltage of all the valid pixels at light shielding. This is calculated by the following formula.
5. Dark signal non-uniformity: DSNU
Absolute maximum of the difference between ADS and voltage of the highest or lowest output pixel of all the valid
pixels at light shielding. This is calculated by the following formula.

6. Output impedance: ZO
Impedance of the output pins viewed from outside.
7. Response: R
Output voltage divided by exposure (Ixs).
Note that the response varies with a light source (spectral characteristic).
8. Image Lag: IL
The rate between the last output voltage and the next one after read out the data of a line.
9. Register imbalance: RI
The rate of the difference between the averages of the output voltage of Odd and Even pixels, against the average
output voltage of all the valid pixels.

10. Random noise (CDS): σCDS
Random noise (CDS) σCDS is defined as the standard deviation of a valid pixel output signal with 100 times (=
100 lines) data sampling at dark (light shielding). σCDS is calculated by the following procedure.
1. One valid photocell in one reading is fixed as measurement point.
2. The output level is measured during the reset feed-through period which is averaged over 100 ns to get VDi.
3. The output level is measured during the Video output time averaged over 100 ns to get VOi.
4. The correlated double sampling output is defined by VCDSi = VDi VOi.
5. Repeat the above procedure (1 to 4) for 100 times (= 100 lines).
6. Calculate the standard deviation σCDS using the following formula.

Cautions 1. During assembly care should be taken to prevent solder or flux from contacting the plastic cap.
The optical characteristics could be degraded by such contact.
2. Soldering by the solder flow method may have deleterious effects on prevention of plastic cap
soiling and heat resistance. So the method cannot be guaranteed.
Conditions
Pin temperature: 300 °C or below,
Heat time: 3 seconds or less (per pin)

The optical characteristics of the CCD will be degraded if the cap is scratched during cleaning. Don’t either
touch plastic cap surface by hand or have any object come in contact with plastic cap surface. Should dirt
stick to a plastic cap surface, blow it off with an air blower. For dirt stuck through electricity ionized air is
recommended. And if the plastic cap surface is grease stained, clean with our recommended solvents.
Care should be taken when cleaning the surface to prevent scratches.
We recommend cleaning the cap with a soft cloth moistened with one of the recommended solvents below.
Excessive pressure should not be applied to the cap during cleaning. If the cap requires multiple cleanings it is
recommended that a clean surface or cloth be used.
The following are the recommended solvents for cleaning the CCD plastic cap.
Use of solvents other than these could result in optical or physical degradation in the plastic cap.
Please consult your sales office when considering an alternative solvent.
The application of an excessive load to the package may cause the package to warp or break, or cause chips
to come off internally. Particular care should be taken when mounting the package on the circuit board. Don't
have any object come in contact with plastic cap. You should not reform the lead frame. We recommended to
use a IC-inserter when you assemble to PCB.
Also, be care that the any of the following can cause the package to crack or dust to be generated.
1. Applying heat to the external leads for an extended period of time with soldering iron.
2. Applying repetitive bending stress to the external leads.
3. Rapid cooling or heating
Operate in clean environments. CCD image sensors are precise optical equipment that should not be subject
to mechanical shocks. Exposure to high temperatures or humidity will affect the characteristics. So avoid
storage or usage in such conditions.
Keep in a case to protect from dust and dirt. Dew condensation may occur on CCD image sensors when the
devices are transported from a low-temperature environment to a high-temperature environment. Avoid such
rapid temperature changes.

ELECTROSTATIC BREAKDOWN
CCD image sensor is protected against static electricity, but destruction due to static electricity is sometimes
detected. Before handling be sure to take the following protective measures.
1. Ground the tools such as soldering iron, radio cutting pliers of or pincer.
2. Install a conductive mat or on the floor or working table to prevent the generation of static electricity.
3. Either handle bare handed or use non-chargeable gloves, clothes or material.
4. Ionized air is recommended for discharge when handling CCD image sensor.
5. For the shipment of mounted substrates, use box treated for prevention of static charges.
6. Anyone who is handling CCD image sensors, mounting them on PCBs or testing or inspecting PCBs on
which CCD image sensors have been mounted must wear anti-static bands such as wrist straps and ankle
straps which are grounded via a series resistance connection of about 1 M.

NOTES FOR CMOS DEVICES
1 PRECAUTION AGAINST ESD FOR SEMICONDUCTORS
Note:
Strong electric field, when exposed to a MOS device, can cause destruction of the gate oxide and
ultimately degrade the device operation. Steps must be taken to stop generation of static electricity
as much as possible, and quickly dissipate it once, when it has occurred. Environmental control
must be adequate. When it is dry, humidifier should be used. It is recommended to avoid using
insulators that easily build static electricity. Semiconductor devices must be stored and transported
in an anti-static container, static shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement
tools including work bench and floor should be grounded. The operator should be grounded using
wrist strap. Semiconductor devices must not be touched with bare hands. Similar precautions need
to be taken for PW boards with semiconductor devices on it.
2 HANDLING OF UNUSED INPUT PINS FOR CMOS
Note:
No connection for CMOS device inputs can be cause of malfunction. If no connection is provided
to the input pins, it is possible that an internal input level may be generated due to noise, etc., hence
causing malfunction. CMOS devices behave differently than Bipolar or NMOS devices. Input levels
of CMOS devices must be fixed high or low by using a pull-up or pull-down circuitry. Each unused
pin should be connected to VDD or GND with a resistor, if it is considered to have a possibility of
being an output pin. All handling related to the unused pins must be judged device by device and
related specifications governing the devices.
3 STATUS BEFORE INITIALIZATION OF MOS DEVICES
Note:
Power-on does not necessarily define initial status of MOS device. Production process of MOS
does not define the initial operation status of the device. Immediately after the power source is
turned ON, the devices with reset function have not yet been initialized. Hence, power-on does
not guarantee out-pin levels, I/O settings or contents of registers. Device is not initialized until the
reset signal is received. Reset operation must be executed immediately after power-on for devices
having reset function.
