The KAI-08050 Image Sensor is an 8-megapixel CCD in a 4/3” (22 mm diagonal) optical format.Based on an advanced 5.5 micron Interline Transfer CCD Platform, the sensor features broad dynamic range, excellent imaging performance, and a flexible readout architecture that enables use of 1, 2, or 4 outputs.The sensor supports full resolution readout up to 16 frames per second, while a Region of Interest (ROI) mode supports partial readout of the sensor at even higher frame rates.A vertical overflow drain structure suppresses image blooming and enables electronic shuttering for precise exposure control.
The sensor is available with a Sparse Color Filter Pattern, a technology which provides a 2x improvement in light sensitivity compared to a standard color Bayer part.
The sensor shares common pin-out and electrical configurations with other devices based on the 5.5 micron Interline Transfer Platform, allowing a single camera design to support multiple members of this sensor family.
