Performance
The test conditions for the performance characteristics in the still
mode of operation are as follows:
All values are measured using typical operating conditions.
Integration time = 1/30 sec (unless specified otherwise).
Test temperature = 60°C (333K).
1 Charge Transfer Efficiency values are expressed as the value per gate transfer.
2 The sensitivity when a light source directly illuminates the CCD.
3 Shading is defined as the one-
σ value of the pixel output distribution expressed as a percentage of the mean value output (low-pass image).
4 Difference in shading between the four colour planes, with standard imaging condition, still mode.
5 Difference in average green signal between ‘green in red line’ and ‘green in blue line’, with standard imaging condition, still mode
6 Q
max is determined from the lowpass filtered image.
7 Overexposure over entire area while maintaining good Vertical Anti-Blooming (VAB). It is tested by measuring the dark line.
The light source is a 3200K lamp with a 1.7mm thick BG40 infrared
cut-off filter; F=16.
Vertical Anti-Blooming condition
Horizontal transport frequency = 25MHz.
