The KAI-08670 Image Sensor is an 8.6-megapixel CCD in an APS-H optical format. Based on an advanced7.4 micron Interline Transfer CCD Platform, the sensor provides very high smear rejection and up to 82 dB linear dynamic range through the use of a unique dual-gain amplifier. A flexible readout architecture enables use of 1, 2, or 4 outputs for full resolution readout up to 12 frames per second, while 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 is package and pin-compatible with the KAI-16050 Image Sensor and shares common pin-out and electrical configurations with a full family of Interline Transfer CCD image sensors, allowing a single camera design to be leveraged in support of multiple devices.
