KAF-0261: Full Frame CCD, Image Sensor, VGA

The KAF-0261 Image Sensor is a high performance, charge coupled device (CCD) 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 a Transparent Gate Electrode to improve sensitivity compared to the use of a standard front side illuminated polysilicon electrode. Selectable on-chip output amplifiers allow operation to be optimized for different imaging needs: Low Noise (when using the high-sensitivity output) or Maximum Dynamic Range (when using the low-sensitivity output). The low dark current of the KAF-0261 makes this device suitable for low light imaging applications without sacrificing in charge capacity.
