The ICX423AL is an interline CCD solid-state image sensor suitable for CCIR B/W video cameras with a diagonal 11mm (Type 2/3) system. Compared with the current product ICX083AL, basic characteristics such as sensitivity and smear are improved drastically and high saturation characteristics are realized. 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 ICX083AL and has the same drive conditions.
