The ICX077AK is an interline CCD solid-state image sensor suitable for PAL color video cameras. This device possesses a number of pixels that is compatible with both SIF and CIF, and offers excellent cost performance due to the adoption of an ultra-small image size and a 10 mm-square 14-pin plastic package. High sensitivity and low dark current are achieved through the use of Ye, Cy, Mg, and G complementary color mosaic filters and through the adoption of HAD (Hole-Accumulation Diode) sensors. This chip features a field period readout system and an electronic shutter with variable chargestorage time.
