The ICX254AK is an interline CCD solid-state image sensor suitable for NTSC color video cameras with a diagonal 6mm (Type 1/3) system. Compared with the current product ICX054BK, 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.
