ICX415AQ Diagonal 8mm (Type 1/2) Progressive Scan CCD Image Sensor with Square Pixel for Color Cameras Description The ICX415AQ is a diagonal 8mm (Type 1/2) interline CCD solid-state image sensor with a square pixel array. Progressive scan allows all pixel's signals to be output independently within approximately 1/50 second. This chip features an electronic shutter with variable charge-storage time which makes it possible to realize full-frame still image without a mechanical shutter. 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 HAD (Hole-Accumulation Diode) sensors. This chip is suitable for applications such as FA and surveillance cameras. 22 pin DIP (Cer-DIP) Pin 1 Features * Progressive scan allows individual readout of the image signals from all pixels. * High vertical resolution still images without a mechanical shutter * Square pixel * Horizontal drive frequency: 29.5MHz * R, G, B primary color mosaic filters on chip * No voltage adjustments (reset gate and substrate bias are not adjusted.) * High resolution, low dark current, high color reproductivity, high sensitivity * Continuous variable-speed shutter * Low smear * Excellent anti-blooming characteristics 2 V 8 3 Pin 12 H 38 Optical black position (Top View) Device Structure * Interline CCD image sensor * Image size: Diagonal 8mm (Type 1/2) * Number of effective pixels: 782 (H) x 582 (V) approx. 460K pixels * Total number of pixels: 823 (H) x 592 (V) approx. 490K pixels * Chip size: 7.48mm (H) x 6.15mm (V) * Unit cell size: 8.3m (H) x 8.3m (V) * Optical black: Horizontal (H) direction: Front 3 pixels, rear 38 pixels Vertical (V) direction: Front 8 pixels, rear 2 pixels * Number of dummy bits: Horizontal 19 Vertical 5 * Substrate material: Silicon Wfine CCD is trademark of Sony corporation.

There are the mode (100 frames/s) which outputs 264 lines of an output line portion, and the mode (200 frames/s) which outputs 88 lines. - 13 - ICX415AQ Definition of standard imaging conditions (1) Standard imaging condition I: Use a pattern box (luminance: 706cd/m2, color temperature of 3200K halogen source) as a subject. (Pattern for evaluation is not applicable.) Use a testing standard lens with CM500S (t = 1.0mm) as an IR cut filter and image at F5.6. The luminous intensity to the sensor receiving surface at this point is defined as the standard sensitivity 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 testing standard lens with CM500S (t = 1.0mm) as an IR cut filter. The luminous intensity is adjusted to the value indicated in each testing item by the lens diaphragm. 1. G Sensitivity, sensitivity comparison Set to the standard imaging condition I. After setting the electronic shutter mode with a shutter speed of 1/100s, measure the signal outputs (VGR, VGb, VR and VB) at the center of each Gr, Gb, R and B channel screen, and substitute the values into the following formulas. VG = (VGr + VGb)/2 Sg = VG x 100 [mV] 25 Rr = VR/VG Rb = VB/VG 2. Saturation signal Set to the standard imaging condition II. After adjusting the luminous intensity to 20 times the intensity with the average value of the Gr signal output, 120mV, measure the minimum values of the Gr, Gb, R and B signal outputs. 3. Smear Set to the standard imaging condition III. With the lens diaphragm at F5.6 to F8, first adjust the average value of the Gr signal output to 120mV. Measure the average values of the Gr signal output, Gb signal output, R signal output and B signal output (Gra, Gba, Ra, Ba), and then adjust the luminous intensity to 500 times the intensity with the average value of the Gr signal output, 120mV. After the readout clock is stopped and the charge drain is executed by the electronic shutter at the respective H blankings, measure the maximum value (Vsm [mV]) independent of the Gr, Gb, R and B signal outputs, and substitute the values into the following formula. ( Sm = 20 x log Vsm / Gra + Gba + Ra + Ba 1 1 x 500 x 4 10 - 14 - ) [dB] (1/10V method conversion value) ICX415AQ 4. Video signal shading Set to the standard imaging condition II. With the lens diaphragm at F5.6 to F8, adjusting the luminous intensity so that the average value of the Gr signal output is 120mV. Then measure the maximum value (Grmax [mV]) and minimum value (Grmin [mV]) of the Gr signal output and substitute the values into the following formula. SHg = (Grmax - Grmin)/120 x 100 [%] 5. Unifoemity between video signal channels After measuring 4, measure the maximum (Rmax [mV]) and minimum (Rmin [mV]) values of R signal, and the maximum (Bmax [mV]) and minimum (Bmin [mV]) values of B signal. Substitute the values into the following formula. Srg = (Rmax - Rmin )/120 x 100 [%] Sbg = (Bmax - Bmin )/120 x 100 [%] 6. Dark signal Measure the average value of the signal output (Vdt [mV]) with the device ambient temperature of 60C and the device in the light-obstructed state, using the horizontal idle transfer level as a reference. 7. Dark signal shading After measuring 6, measure the maximum (Vdmax [mV]) and minimum (Vdmin [mV]) values of the dark signal output and substitute the values into the following formula. Vdt = Vdmax - Vdmin [mV] 8. Lag Adjust the Gr signal output value generated by the strobe light to 120mV.

Before handling be sure to take the following protective measures. a) Either handle bare handed or use non-chargeable gloves, clothes or material. Also use conductive shoes. b) When handling directly use an earth band. c) Install a conductive mat on the floor or working table to prevent the generation of static electricity. d) Ionized air is recommended for discharge when handling CCD image sensor. e) For the shipment of mounted substrates, use boxes treated for the prevention of static charges. 2) Soldering a) Make sure the package temperature does not exceed 80C. b) Solder dipping in a mounting furnace causes damage to the glass and other defects. Use a 30W soldering iron with a ground wire and solder each pin in less than 2 seconds. For repairs and remount, cool sufficiently. c) To dismount an image sensor, do not use a solder suction equipment. When using an electric desoldering tool, use a thermal controller of the zero cross On/Off type and connect it to ground. 3) Dust and dirt protection Image sensors are packed and delivered by taking care of protecting its glass plates from harmful dust and dirt. Clean glass plates with the following operation as required, and use them. a) Perform all assembly operations in a clean room (class 1000 or less). b) Do not either touch glass plates by hand or have any object come in contact with glass surfaces. Should dirt stick to a glass surface, blow it off with an air blower. (For dirt stuck through static electricity ionized air is recommended.) c) Clean with a cotton bud and ethyl alcohol if the grease stained. Be careful not to scratch the glass. d) Keep in a case to protect from dust and dirt. To prevent dew condensation, preheat or precool when moving to a room with great temperature differences. e) When a protective tape is applied before shipping, just before use remove the tape applied for electrostatic protection. Do not reuse the tape. 4) Installing (attaching) a) Remain within the following limits when applying a static load to the package. Do not apply any load more than 0.7mm inside the outer perimeter of the glass portion, and do not apply any load or impact to limited portions. (This may cause cracks in the package.) Upper ceramic Lower ceramic 39N 29N 29N 0.9Nm Low melting point glass Compressive strength Shearing strength Tensile strength Torsional stregth b) If a load is applied to the entire surface by a hard component, bending stress may be generated and the package may fracture, etc., depending on the flatness of the ceramic portions. Therefore, for installation, use either an elastic load, such as a spring plate, or an adhesive. - 27 - ICX415AQ c) The adhesive may cause the marking on the rear surface to disappear, especially in case the regulated voltage 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 notch of the package is used for directional index, and that can not be used for reference of fixing. In addition, the cover glass and seal resin may overlap with the notch of the package. e) If the leads are bent repeatedly and metal, etc., clash or rub against the package, the dust may be generated by the fragments of resin. f) Acrylate anaerobic adhesives are generally used to attach CCD image sensors. In addition, cyanoacrylate instantaneous adhesives are sometimes used jointly with acrylate anaerobic adhesives. (reference) 5) Others a) Do not expose to strong light (sun rays) for long periods, as color filters will be discolored. When high luminous objects are imaged with the exposure level controlled by the electronic iris, the luminance of the image-plane may become excessive and discoloring of the color filter will possibly be accelerated. In such a case, it is advisable that taking-lens with the automatic-iris and closing of the shutter during the poweroff mode should be properly arranged. For continuous using under cruel condition exceeding the normal using condition, consult our company. b) Exposure to high temperature or humidity will affect the characteristics. Accordingly avoid storage or usage in such conditions. c) Brown stains may be seen on the bottom or side of the package. But this does not affect the CCD characteristics. - 28 - Package Outline Unit: mm 0.7 A 9.0 22 12 12 22 V 15.24 2-R0.7 H 11 18.0 0.4 3 0.7 - 29 - 14.6 3.26 0.3 B' 0.25 1 0.55 C 15.1 0.3 11.55 3 7.55 3 ~ B ~ 0 to 9 22 pin DIP (600mil) 17.6 1 1.
