KAF-1603
1536 (H) x 1024 (V) Full
Frame CCD Image Sensor
Description
The KAF−1603 Image Sensor is a high performance monochrome
area CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor with 1536 (H) ×
1024 (V) photoactive pixels designed for a wide range of image
sensing applications.
The sensor incorporates true two-phase CCD technology,
simplifying the support circuits required to drive the sensor as well as
reducing dark current without compromising charge capacity.
The sensor also utilizes the TRUESENSE Transparent Gate Electrode
to improve sensitivity compared to the use of a standard front side
illuminated polysilicon electrode.
Optional microlenses focus the majority of the light through the
transparent gate, increasing the optical response further.
