Abstract

A 1024-pixel×1024-pixel interline charge-coupled device (IL CCD) image sensor has been developed. It incorporates antiblooming and electronic exposure control while eliminating lag and obtaining a high responsivity. The novel features of this device include a noninterlaced, or progressive-scan, architecture and dual-horizontal registers that can be used to clock out the image area by one or two lines at a time. These features make it well suited for applications demanding high-resolution-image capture from a single, high-speed scan. The progressive-scan architecture of this device covers the same resolution in an electronic-camera application as that of a 2-million-element, interlaced device
