Description Features The ICX418AKL is an interline CCD solid-stateimage sensor suitable for NTSC color video cameras with a diagonal 8mm (Type 1/2) system. Compared with the current product ICX038DNA, basic characteristics such as sensitivity, smear, dynamic range and S/N are improved drastically.This chip features a field period readout system andan electronic shutter with variable charge-storage time. This chip is compatible with the pins of the ICX038DNA and has the same drive conditions. High sensitivity (+6.0dB compared with the ICX038DNA) 20 pin DIP (Cer-DIP) ? Low smear (Ֆ5.0dB compared with the ICX038DNA) ? High D range (+2.0dB compared with the ICX038DNA) ? High S/N ? High resolution and low dark current ? Excellent antiblooming characteristics Optical black position(Top View) ? Ye, Cy, Mg, and G complementary color mosaic filters on chip ? Continuous variable-speed shutter ?

ICX418AKL Definition of standard imaging conditions 1)Standard imaging condition I :Use a pattern box (luminance 706cd/m > 2 , color temperature of 3200K halogen source) as a subject. (Patternfor evaluation is not applicable.) Use a testing standard lens with CM500S (t = 1.0mm) as an IR cut filter andimage at F5.6. The luminous intensity to the sensor receiving surface at this point is defined as the standardsensitivity testing luminous intensity.2)Standard imaging condition II :Image a light source (color temperature of 3200K) with a uniformity of brightness within 2% at all angles.Use a...

ICX418AKL c)The adhesive may cause the marking on the rear surface to disappear, especially in case the regulatedvoltage value is indicated on the rear surface. Therefore, the adhesive should not be applied to this area, and indicated values should be transferred to other locations as a precaution.d)The upper and lower ceramic are joined by low melting point glass. Therefore, care should be taken not toperform the following actions as this may cause cracks. ? Applying repeated bending stress to the outer leads. ? Heating the outer leads for an extended period with a soldering iron. ?...
