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:

13.2mm
