Teledyne-DALSA Announces 60MP Medium-Format CCD

Marketwire: Teledyne-DALSA's new 60MP FTF9168 CCD is said to offer the highest resolution available in the industry today within a 645 optical format that can be imaged using commercially available lenses. Available in both RGB-Bayer color and monochrome versions, the FTF9168 CCDs are targeting the resolution-demanding applications like fabric and artwork reproduction, document scanning and aerial photogrammetry. The sensor is based on 6um pixels and has the maximum frame rate of 1.4fps.

FTF9168 features:

• Very large optical format (54 x 40 mm2)
• 60 million active pixels (8956H x 6708V)
• >95% fill factor
• Micro lenses with wide angular response
• High sensitivity & dynamic range (>70dB)
• Data rate up to 25 MHz per output (4 outputs)

"With our internal wafer foundry, we can control the entire process from design to delivery, offering both the ultimate in performance tuning and security of supply," said Jelle de Jong, Director of Marketing and Sales at Teledyne DALSA in Eindhoven. "The FTF9168 contributes to our continuing history of excellence and is the highest-resolution large optical format sensor available on the market today."

DALSA publishes a complete datasheet simultaneously with the announcement - quite a rare occurrence in the industry. The QE graphs are among the officially presented data:

With the new sensor, the large format CCD lineup from DALSA spans from 22MP to 60MP:
