The ICX081AK is an interline CCD solid-state image sensor suitable for PAL color video cameras. This chip conforms to DV standard SD mode, and has the optimal number of pixels for MPEG2 Main level. While achieving a horizontal resolution of 450 TV lines, the area has been expanded 33% in both vertical and horizontal directions, making the chip suitable for electronic vibration stabilizer and electronic panning/tilting. In addition, complete 16:9 wide aspect ratio images are provided with a high picture quality without requiring vertical interpolation. High sensitivity and low dark current are achieved through the adoption of Ye, Cy, Mg and G complementary color mosaic filters and HAD (HoleAccumulation Diode) sensors. This chip features a field period readout system and an electronic shutter with variable chargestorage time. The package is a 16-pin DIP (Plastic), and both top and bottom surface reference can be assured at the same time.
