Product Overview
ICX424AL‑A is Sony 1/3‑inch progressive‑scan monochrome HAD‑CCD image sensor. It features 659(H) × 494(V) effective pixels with 7.4 µm square pixels, delivering high sensitivity and low dark‑current performance. Variable electronic shutter supports full‑frame capture without mechanical shutter. Packaged in 16‑pin plastic DIP, it fits machine vision, automation inspection, microscopy and traffic surveillance systems.
Core Advantages
HAD‑CCD High Sensitivity
Sony HAD‑CCD architecture provides high quantum efficiency and low dark‑current for reliable low‑light monochrome imaging.
Progressive‑Scan Output
Full‑frame progressive readout eliminates interlace artifacts for sharp moving‑object capture.
7.4 µm Square Pixel
Square pixel simplifies measurement and calibration for machine‑vision AOI applications.
Low Smear & Anti‑Blooming
Optimized transfer registers suppress smear and blooming under high‑brightness scene conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is ICX424AL‑A color or monochrome CCD?
A: ICX424AL‑A is monochrome HAD‑CCD, built for precision industrial imaging.
Q2: What is progressive‑scan advantage?
A: Full‑frame progressive readout eliminates interlace artifacts for sharp fast‑moving object capture.
Q3: What package does ICX424AL‑A use?
A: 16‑pin plastic DIP, supports through‑hole and socket mounting.
Q4: Difference between ICX424AL and ICX424AL‑A?
A: ICX424AL‑A is screened traceability variant. All optical, electrical and pin‑out specs are identical, pin‑to‑pin drop‑in replacement without hardware modification.
Q5: Can ICX424ALB replace ICX424AL‑A directly?
A: No. ICX424ALB uses 14‑pin round ceramic package with different pin assignment, PCB redesign is mandatory.
Q6: Is ICX424ALA a valid Sony part number?
A: ICX424ALA is an invalid manual typo. Valid part number is ICX424AL‑A, retain the hyphen.
Q7: Any hardware layout note for ICX424AL‑A?
A: Pin 6 needs external 1000pF capacitor to GND. Please follow Sony official datasheet for timing and bias setup.
Q8: What are compatible alternative sensors?
A: Only ICX424AL supports pin‑to‑pin replacement. Function‑similar alternatives require mechanical and driver‑code adjustment.
Q9: How to get datasheet, sample or bulk quotation?
A: Submit quick inquiry form for datasheet, circuit reference, sample availability and volume pricing.
