The LZ23BP2 is a 1/3-type (6.0 mm) solid-state image sensor that consists of PN photo-diodes and CCDs (charge-coupled devices). With approximately 350,000 pixels (695 horizontal x 504 vertical), the sensor provides a stable high-resolution color image. All pixel signals can be read independently via the vertical shift register and horizontal shift register. Features include progressive scan, square pixel, compatibility with VGA format, 659 (H) x 494 (V) effective pixels, optical black pixels (2 front and 34 rear horizontally, 8 front and 2 rear vertically), dummy bits (16 horizontal, 4 vertical), 7.4 µm (H) x 7.4 µm (V) pixel pitch, R, G, and B primary color mosaic filters, low fixed-pattern noise and lag, no burn-in and no image distortion, blooming suppression structure, built-in output amplifier, built-in overflow drain voltage circuit and reset gate voltage circuit, variable electronic shutter (1/30 to 1/10,000 s), and a 16-pin half-pitch WDIP [Ceramic] package (WDIP016-N-0450) with a row space of 11.43 mm.
