Advance Information Diagonal 8.93 mm (Type 1/1.8) Effective 3.24M-pixel Frame Readout Color CCD Image Sensor Description ICX412AK/AKF ICX412AQ/AQF 20-pin DIP (Plastic) 20-pin SOP (Plastic) The ICX412 series is a diagonal 8.93 mm (Type 1/1.8) interline CCD solid-state image sensor with a square pixel array. Characteristics such as sensitivity, smear, saturation signal level, frame rate have been improved compared to the ICX252 series. This chip is suitable for applications such as high resolution digital still cameras, image input for multimedia system. Features Number of effective pixels 2088 (H) x 1550 (V) approx. 3.24M pixels High resolution Applications Specialized design for use with a mechanical shutter and frame High resolution digital still cameras readout Multimedia system image input Square unit cell facilitates calculations after image capturing Supports high frame rate readout mode (30 frames/s during 22.5 MHz drive) No voltage adjustment (substrate voltage and reset gate bias are not adjusted.)
