Description

The ICX227AK is an interline CCD solid-state image

sensor suitable for PAL color video cameras.

Compared with the current product ICX207AK, smear

charactristics are improved drastically and power

consumption is reduced. Ye, Cy, Mg, and G

complementary color mosaic filters are used. High

sensitivity and high saturation signal are achieved by

Super HAD CCD technology.

This chip features a field period readout system and

an electronic shutter with variable charge-storage

time.

The package is a 10mm-square 14-pin DIP (Plastic).
