SHARP LZ21N3 CCD Image Sensor Datasheet
The document describes the SHARP LZ21N3, a solid-state image sensor featuring an optical size of 8.08 mm and an aspect ratio of 4:3. It utilizes PN photo-diodes and charge-coupled devices (CCDs) to provide high-resolution color imaging with approximately 2,140,000 pixels (1,704 horizontal x 1,255 vertical). Key features include a square pixel structure, Mg/G/Cy/Ye complementary color mosaic filters, and built-in output amplifiers.
The datasheet provides detailed electrical specifications, including absolute maximum ratings and recommended operating conditions for voltages such as the output transistor drain voltage (Vop) and various clock signals. It also details performance characteristics like photo response non-uniformity (PRNU), saturation output voltage, sensitivity, smear ratio, image lag, and blooming suppression ratio under specific test conditions.
