ICX0AL Diagonal 6mm (Type /) Progressive Scan CCD Image Sensor with Square Pixel for B/W Cameras Description The ICX0AL is a diagonal 6mm (Type /) interline CCD solid-state image sensor with a square pixel array and 800K effective pixels. Progressive scan allows all pixels' signals to be output independently. Also, the adoption of high frame rate readout mode supports 60 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. 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 cameras, two-dimensional bar-code reader, etc. Features Progressive scan allows individual readout of the image signals from all pixels. High horizontal and vertical resolution (both approx. 768T-lines) still image without a mechanical shutter. Supports high frame rate readout mode (effective 56 lines output, 5MHz drive: 5 frame/s, 0MHz drive: 60 frame/s) Square pixel Horizontal drive frequency: Typ.: 5MHz, Max.: 0MHz No voltage adjustments (reset gate and substrate bias are not adjusted.)

ICX0AL Notes on Handling ) Static charge prevention CCD image sensors are easily damaged by static discharge. 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. ) Soldering a) Make sure the package temperature does not exceed 80 C. b) Solder dipping in a mounting furnace causes damage to the glass and other defects. Use a ground 0W soldering iron and solder each pin in less than 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. ) 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 000 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. ) 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.) Cover glass Plastic package 50N 50N Compressive strength.nm Torsional strength 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 bottom of the package. Therefore, for installation, use either an elastic load, such as a spring plate, or an adhesive. 0
ICX0AL 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 the 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 lead bend repeatedly and the 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. 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) The brown stain may be seen on the bottom or side of the package. But this does not affect the CCD characteristics.
