The KAF-1001 Image Sensor is a high-performance charge-coupled device (CCD) designed for a wide range of image sensing applications.
The sensor incorporates true two-phase CCD technology, simplifying the support circuits required to drive the sensor as well as reducing dark current without compromising charge capacity. The sensor also utilizes a Transparent Gate Electrode to improve sensitivity compared to the use of a standard front side illuminated polysilicon electrode.
Selectable on-chip output amplifiers allow operation to be optimized for different imaging needs:Low Noise (when using the high-sensitivity output) or Maximum Dynamic Range (when using the low-sensitivity output).

• True Two Phase Full Frame Architecture
• Transparent Gate Electrode for high sensitivity
• 100% Fill Factor
• Low Dark Current
• Single Readout Register
• User-selectable outputs allow either Low Noise or High Dynamic Range operation
