ICX489AQF

High-Resolution 7.24M-Pixel Diagonal 9.107 mm (Type 1/1.8) Color CCD for Consumer Digital Still Cameras Supports VGA Moving Picture Imaging ICX489AQF The demands for higher pixel counts and further miniaturization continue to increase in the rapidly growing digital still camera market. To respond to these demands, Sony has developed the ICX489AQF diagonal 9.107 mm (Type 1/1.8) CCD image sensor that features 7.24M effective pixels. The ICX489AQF takes full advantage of the latest fine fabrication technologies to achieve a 2.35 µm unit pixel size. This results in both higher resolution and further miniaturization. Sony's unique horizontal and vertical pixel addition technology allows the ICX489AQF to provide both 7M-pixel still picture and 30 frames/s VGA moving picture imaging. I I Primary color filters, 28-pin SOP Diagonal 9.107 mm (Type 1/1.8) Provides 7.24M effective pixels (3112H × 2328V) 5-field readout method High sensitivity: 168 mV (G signal) High saturation signal: 385 mV I I I The ICX489AQF is a 7.24M-effective pixel diagonal 9.107 mm (Type 1/1.8) CCD image sensor that was developed for use in high-resolution consumer digital still cameras. It provides high-resolution image capture when a mechanical shutter is used. Figure 1 presents Sony’s lineup of CCD image sensors for consumer digital still cameras. Since the ICX489AQF is positioned as a higher pixel count version of the earlier Sony ICX455AQF (diagonal 9.04 mm (Type 1/1.8), 5.13M effective pixels) product, it...
