KAF-0261

512 (H) x 512 (V) Full Frame

CCD Image Sensor

Description

The KAF−0261 Image Sensor is a high performance, charge

coupled device (CCD) designed for a wide range of image sensing

applications.

The sensor incorporates true two−phase CCD technology,

simplifying the support circuits required to drive the sensor as well as

reducing dark current without compromising charge capacity. The

sensor also utilizes a transparent gate electrode to improve sensitivity

compared to the use of a standard front side illuminated polysilicon

electrode.

Selectable on−chip output amplifiers allow operation to be

optimized for different imaging needs: Low Noise (when using the

high−sensitivity output) or Maximum Dynamic Range (when using

the low−sensitivity output).

The low dark current of the KAF−0261 makes this device suitable

for low light imaging applications without sacrificing charge capacity.
