The KC74129C is an interline transfer CCD area image sensor developed for PAL 1/4 inch optical format video cameras, surveillance cameras, object detectors and image pattern recognizers. High sensitivity is achieved through the adoption of Ye, Cy, Mg and G complementary color mosaic filters, on-chip micro lenses and HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) photosensors. This chip features a field integration read out system and an electronic shutter with variable charge storage time.
