Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the main feature of Sony’s EXview HAD CCD in ICX285AQ?
A1: EXview HAD‑CCD improves quantum efficiency and NIR sensitivity, delivering low dark‑current and low‑smear for low‑light applications.
Q2: What is the pixel size and resolution of ICX285AQ?
A2: 6.45 μm ×6.45 μm square pixel; active resolution 1392(H)×1040(V), 1.45 megapixels.
Q3: Is ICX285AQ suitable for low‑light scientific imaging?
A3: Yes. Large pixel and high quantum‑efficiency make it ideal for fluorescence microscopy and low‑light scientific acquisition.
Q4: What is the difference between ICX285AQ and ICX285AL?
A4: Sensor performance is identical. ICX285AQ is 20‑pin ceramic DIP through‑hole; ICX285AL is PLCC SMD surface‑mount. They are not pin‑compatible, PCB redesign is required for swap.
Q5: Does ICX285AQ have built‑in IR‑cut filter?
A5: No IR‑cut filter onboard. External filter is required for normal color imaging; it captures infrared without filter.
Q6: Is there pin‑to‑pin drop‑in replacement for ICX285AQ?
A6: No direct pin‑compatible replacement. Alternative CCD/CMOS sensors need PCB modification, firmware adjustment and optical re‑matching.
Q7: Can ICX285AQ be used for new‑project mass‑production?
A7: Not recommended for new projects. This is Sony EOL discontinued part, only for legacy‑equipment maintenance replacement.
Q8: What is typical horizontal drive frequency of ICX285AQ?
A8: Typical horizontal drive frequency is 28.64 MHz, refer to datasheet for full timing specifications.
Q9: How to get datasheet and bulk quotation?
A9: Submit inquiry via Quick‑Inquiry form for datasheet, pinout diagram, sample and volume pricing.
