  About the Sony ICX205AL Sensor.

  The Sony ICX205AL is a 1/2-inch optical interline CCD solid-state image sensor with a square pixel array and 1.45M effective pixels. Progressive scan 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.
  
  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 sensitivity and low dark current are achieved through the adoption of HAD (Hole-Accumulation Diode) sensors. This chip is suitable for applications such as electronic still cameras, PC input cameras, etc.

  Sony ICX205AL Imaging Sensor Features

  • Progressive scan allows individual readout of the
    image signals from all pixels.
  • High horizontal and vertical resolution (both approx.
    1024TV-lines) still image without a mechanical shutter.
  • Supports high frame rate readout mode
    (effective 256 lines output, 30 frame/s).
  • No voltage adjustments (reset gate and substrate bias are not adjusted.)
  • High resolution, high sensitivity, low dark current.
  • Low smear, excellent antiblooming characteristicsand continuous variable-speed shutter.
