5. Notes on Mounting
Use of lenses with optical sizes in excess of 1/5 inch can lead to flare. Consult your Sanyo representative when
selecting lenses for use with this product.
The CCD element used in this device is extremely sensitive to temperature. As the temperature rises, the dark current
increases and noise becomes prominent. In particular, the device characteristics degrade rapidly if the operating or
storage temperature is exceeded.
Also, when used under the recommended operating conditions, although the heat generated by the sensor itself is not
particularly high, the device may be influenced by heat generated by the surrounding ICs. Use great care in end product
thermal design, in particular with respect to the layout of components, the printed circuit board, and the case.
If this device is subjected to strong light such as direct sunlight, it is subject to discoloration and other damages. Avoid
subjecting this device to strong light, both in storage and in use. If a bright light source must be used, protect the device
by inserting UV-cut filters, or by other measures.
6. Transport
Do not throw or drop packages containing CCD sensors.
Protect CCD sensors from moisture when transporting during rain or snow.
Minimize mechanical vibration and shock as much as possible when transporting CCD sensors.
This catalog provides information as of October, 1999. Specifications and information herein are subject
to change without notice.
Specifications of any and all SANYO products described or contained herein stipulate the performance,
characteristics, and functions of the described products in the independent state, and are not guarantees
of the performance, characteristics, and functions of the described products as mounted in the customer’s
products or equipment. To verify symptoms and states that cannot be evaluated in an independent device,
the customer should always evaluate and test devices mounted in the customer’s products or equipment.
SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. strives to supply high-quality high-reliability products. However, any and all
semiconductor products fail with some probability. It is possible that these probabilistic failures could
give rise to accidents or events that could endanger human lives, that could give rise to smoke or fire,
or that could cause damage to other property. When designing equipment, adopt safety measures so
that these kinds of accidents or events cannot occur. Such measures include but are not limited to protective
circuits and error prevention circuits for safe design, redundant design, and structural design.
In the event that any or all SANYO products (including technical data, services) described or contained
herein are controlled under any of applicable local export control laws and regulations, such products must
not be exported without obtaining the export license from the authorities concerned in accordance with the
above law.
