Sharp Corporation announced it has developed a 1/1.8" 8 megapixel CCD on 26 October. The RJ21V3BA0ET is the industry's highest resolution interline CCD of its size. Samples will ship from the end of October with full-scale production to begin from January 2005.  Sharp Corporation announced it has developed a 1/1.8" 8 megapixel CCD on 26 October. Samples will ship from the end of October with full-scale production to begin from January 2005. The sample price is 8,400 yen. The interline CCD has been designated the "RJ21V3BA0ET" and has a primary colour filter and a 9mm diagonal sensor. It has a total resolution of 8.5 megapixels (3,382 x 2,513) and an effective resolution of 8.29 megapixels (3,320 x 2,496). Using micro manufacturing and image pixel reduction technology, the RJ21V3BA0ET is the industry's highest resolution interline CCD of its size. Most current 8 megapixel-class compact digital cameras use a 2/3" CCD sensor (11 mm diagonal). The CCD uses 2.2 μm square pixels and has a sensitivity of 90 mV (TYP.). It is capable of recording VGA-size, 30fps video and is packaged in a 32-pin SOP (Small Outline Package). The CCD can be integrated with the "LR38674" CCD peripheral IC and "LR38669Y" 1-chip signal processing LSI to form a 3-chip system solution. By offering a image recording, signal processing, LCD monitor and memory card output interface systems, the new CCD will support the reduction of development times and device miniaturisation.
