The ICX284AQ is a diagonal 6.64mm (Type 1/2.7) interline CCD solid-state image sensor with a square pixel array and 2.02M effective pixels. Frame readout allows all pixels' signals to be output independently within approximately 1/7.5 second. Also, the adoption of high frame rate readout mode supports 30 frames per second which is four times the speed in frame readout mode. This chip features an electronic shutter with variable charge-storage time. Adoption of a design specially suited for frame readout ensures a saturation signal level equivalent to when using field readout. High resolution and high color reproductivity are achieved through the use of R, G, B primary color mosaic filters. Further, high sensitivity and low dark current are achieved through the adoption of Super HAD CCD technology. This chip is suitable for applications such as electronic still cameras, PC input cameras, etc.
