The ICX249AK is an interline CCD solid-state image sensor suitable for PAL color video cameras with a diagonal 8mm (Type 1/2) system. Compared with the current product ICX039DNA, basic characteristics such as sensitivity, smear, dynamic range and S/N are improved drastically through the adoption of EXview HAD CCDTM technology. This chip features a field period readout system and an electronic shutter with variable charge-storage time. This chip is compatible with the pins of the ICX039DNA and has the same drive conditions. EXview HAD CCDTM has different spectral characteristics from the current CCD.
