ICX224AQ
Diagonal 8mm (Type 1/2) Frame Readout CCD Image Sensor with Square Pixel for Color Cameras
Description
The ICX224AQ is a diagonal 8mm (Type 1/2)
interline CCD solid-state image sensor with a square
pixel array and 2.02M effective pixels. Frame
readout 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 which is four times
the speed in frame readout mode. This chip features
an electronic shutter with variable charge-storage
time. Adoption of a design specially suited for frame
readout ensures a saturation signal level equivalent
to when using field readout. High resolution and high
color reproductivity are achieved through the use of
R, G, B primary color mosaic filters. Further, high
sensitivity and low dark current are achieved through
the adoption of Super HAD CCD technology.
This chip is suitable for applications such as electronic
still cameras, PC input cameras, etc.

Note) Blacked out portions in the diagram indicate pixels which are not read out.
Output starts from the line 5 in high frame rate readout mode.
1. Frame readout mode
In this mode, all pixel signals are divided into two fields and output.
All pixel signals are read out independently, making this mode suitable for high resolution image capturing.
2. High frame rate readout mode
All effective area signals are output in 1/4 the period for frame readout mode by reading out two lines for
every eight lines. The number of output lines is 325 lines.
This readout mode emphasizes processing speed over vertical resolution.

Measurement conditions
1) In the following measurements, the device drive conditions are at the typical values of the bias and clock
voltage conditions, and the frame readout mode is used.
2) In the following measurements, spot blemishes are excluded and, unless otherwise specified, the optical
black level (OB) is used as the reference for the signal output, which is taken as the value of the Gr/Gb
channel signal output or the R/B channel signal output of the measurement system.
Definition of standard imaging conditions
1) Standard imaging condition I:
Use a pattern box (luminance: 706cd/m2, color temperature of 3200K halogen source) as a subject. (Pattern
for evaluation is not applicable.) Use a testing standard lens with CM500S (t = 1.0mm) as an IR cut filter
and image at F5.6. The luminous intensity to the sensor receiving surface at this point is defined as the
standard sensitivity testing luminous intensity.
2) Standard imaging condition II:
Image a light source (color temperature of 3200K) with a uniformity of brightness within 2% at all angles.
Use a testing standard lens with CM500S (t = 1.0mm) as an IR cut filter. The luminous intensity is adjusted
to the value indicated in each testing item by the lens diaphragm.
3) Standard imaging condition III:
Image a light source (color temperature of 3200K) with a uniformity of brightness within 2% at all angles.
Use a testing standard lens (exit pupil distance –33mm) with CM500S (t = 1.0mm) as an IR cut filter. The
luminous intensity is adjusted to the value indicated in each testing item by the lens diaphragm.
1. G sensitivity, sensitivity comparison
Set to standard imaging condition I. After selecting the electronic shutter mode with a shutter speed of
1/100s, measure the signal outputs (VGr, VGb, VR and VB) at the center of each Gr, Gb, R and B channel
screen, and substitute the values into the following formulas.
VG = (VGr + VGb)/2
Sg = VG × 100/30 [mV]
Rr = VR/VG
Rb = VB/VG
2. Saturation signal
Set to standard imaging condition II. After adjusting the luminous intensity to 20 times the intensity with the
average value of the Gr signal output, 150mV, measure the minimum values of the Gr, Gb, R and B signal
outputs.
3. Smear
Set to standard imaging condition II. With the lens diaphragm at F5.6 to F8, first adjust the average value of
the Gr signal output to 150mV. Measure the average values of the Gr signal output, Gb signal output, R
signal output and B signal output (Gra, Gba, Ra, Ba), and then adjust the luminous intensity to 500 times
the intensity with the average value of the Gr signal output, 150mV. After the readout clock is stopped and
the charge drain is executed by the electronic shutter at the respective H blankings, measure the maximum
value (VSm [mV]) independent of the Gr, Gb, R and B signal outputs, and substitute the values into the
following formula.
Sm = Vsm ÷
Gra + Gba + Ra + Ba

4. Video signal shading
Set to standard imaging condition III. With the lens diaphragm at F5.6 to F8, adjust the luminous intensity
so that the average value of the Gr signal output is 150mV. Then measure the maximum (Grmax [mV]) and
minimum (Grmin [mV]) values of the Gr signal output and substitute the values into the following formula.
SHg = (Grmax – Grmin)/150 × 100 [%]
5. Dark signal
Measure the average value of the signal output (Vdt [mV]) with the device ambient temperature 60°C and
the device in the light-obstructed state, using the horizontal idle transfer level as a reference.
6. Dark signal shading
After measuring 5, measure the maximum (Vdmax [mV]) and minimum (Vdmin [mV]) values of the dark
signal output and substitute the values into the following formula.
∆Vdt = Vdmax – Vdmin [mV]
7. Line crawl
Set to standard imaging condition II. Adjusting the luminous intensity so that the average value of the Gr
signal output is 150mV, and then insert R, G and B filters and measure the difference between G signal
lines (∆Glr, ∆Glg, ∆Glb [mV]) as well as the average value of the G signal output (Gar, Gag, Gab).
Substitute the values into the following formula.
Lci = ∆Gli/Gai × 100 [%] (i = r, g, b)
8. Lag
Adjust the Gr signal output value generated by strobe light to 150mV. After setting the strobe light so that it
strobes with the following timing, measure the residual signal (Vlag). Substitute the value into the following
formula.

2. A saturation signal level equivalent to that for continuous exposure can be assured by
connecting a 4.7kΩ grounding resistor to the CCD CSUB pin.
Drive timing precautions
1. Blooming occurs in modes (monitoring, etc.) that do not use the mechanical shutter, so do not ground the connected 4.7kΩ resistor.
2. tf is slow, so the internally generated voltage VSUB may not drop to a sufficiently low level if the substrate bias control signal is not set to high level
20ms before entering the exposure period and the 4.7kΩ resistor connected to the CSUB pin is not grounded.
3. The blooming signal generated during exposure in mechanical shutter mode is swept by providing one field or more of idle transfer through vertical
register high-speed sweep transfer from the time the mechanical shutter closes until sensor readout is performed. However, note that the VL potential
and the φSUB pin DC voltage sag at this time.

Notes on Handling
1) 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 sensors.
e) For the shipment of mounted substrates, use boxes treated for the prevention of static charges.
2) 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 30W
soldering iron and solder each pin in less than 2 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.
3) 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 operations as required, and use them.
a) Perform all assembly operations in a clean room (class 1000 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 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.
4) 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.)

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.
– 22 –
ICX224AQ
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 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 leads are bent repeatedly and 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, as color filters will be discolored. When high
luminous objects are imaged with the exposure level controlled by the electronic iris, the luminance of the
image-plane may become excessive and discoloring of the color filter will possibly be accelerated. In such
a case, it is advisable that taking-lens with the automatic-iris and closing of the shutter during the poweroff mode should be properly arranged. 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) Brown stains may be seen on the bottom or side of the package. But this does not affect the CCD
characteristics.
