Thanks
to Niklas on our Sony Talk forum for noting Sony's new ICX413AQ six megapixel
3:2 ratio APS sized CCD. After some digging I managed to confirm this
chip either is or soon will be in production. The chip is APS sized and
has a pixel cell size of 7.8µm x 7.8µm, it is an interline
frame readout chip and requires a mechanical shutter, thus it is designed
for D-SLR's. Interestingly it's capable of capturing at 3 fps in single
channel mode and 5 fps in dual channel mode. This sensor is ideally sized
and specified to be used in a 35 mm SLR bodied D-SLR (it would produce
a 1.5x focal length multiplier).
| Optical Format | 1.8" / diagonal 28.4 mm (APS sized) |
| Aspect Ratio | 3:2 |
| Colour filters | Primary GRGB (Bayer Mosaic) |
| Transfer method | Interline frame readout (requires mechanical shutter) |
| Total number of pixels | 3110 x 2030 (6.31 million) |
| Number of effective pixels | 3032 x 2016 (6.11 million) |
| Active pixels | 3000 x 2000 (6 million square pixels) |
| Active imager area | 23.4 x 15.6 mm |
| Unit cell size | 7.8µm x 7.8µm |
| Optical black | Horizontal: Front 20 pixels, Rear
50 pixels Vertical: Front 4 pixels, Rear 2 pixels |
| Saturation signal | 900 mV |
| Smear | -80 dB |
| Frame rate | 3.06 fps (single channel mode) 5.09 fps (dual channel mode) |
| Target mass production | June 2002 |
Note: this CCD used in a 35 mm SLR body would produce a 1.5x field-of-view crop (focal length multiplier).
