Advancing image capture for demanding astrophotography and scientific imaging applications with a 16.2MP CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) image sensor. The device’s Full Frame CCD architecture provides best in class image uniformity and dark current, and the use of 6.0µm pixels with a transparent gate electrode provides high sensitivity, high dynamic range and integrated overexposure protection.

Together, these allow the KAF-16200 to provide exceptional imagery and detail in an APS-H (34.6mm diagonal) optical format. The KAF-16200 leverages advanced design and manufacturing capabilities to enable image capture of the highest quality.

Herb Erhardt, Vice President and General Manager, Industrial and Security Division, Image Sensor Group, ON Semiconductor, commented: “The KAF-16200 provides a two times increase in resolution compared to our current device addressing this segment, without sacrificing the CCD-level image quality required for these applications. This is another example of ON Semiconductor’s ability to leverage a broad technology base to provide the highest quality image sensor devices regardless of the underlying technology.”

The KAF-16200 is available in a RoHS-compliant CERDIP package in both monochrome and colour configurations.
