FT17N / FT17P
Sensor image
2/3 inch dual aspect ratio image sensor
Description The FT17N is a NTSC/EIA-compatible image sensor which is provided with a 12-phase vertical transport clock structure in the image section. The FT17P image sensor is a PAL/CCIR vesion of Philips Semiconductors’ dual aspect ratio image sensor, which is provided with a 12-phase vertical transport clock structure in the image section. By selecting the appropriate phase type of the vertical image clock pulses it is possible to put the image sensor in the required aspect ratio mode. In the 4:3 aspect ratio mode a virtual 4phase mode is applied and in the 16:9 mode a virtual 3-phase mode is applied.
