Comparisons between CCD and CMOS based on Freescale

Abstract

With the rise of digital camera, mobile phone camera, image sensor is becoming one of the most dazzling star around the semiconductor products, and in the image sensor, CCD sensor which is exclusive by Japanese and the CMOS sensor that be contention of a hundred schools of thought are trying to overcome its own shortcomings, both of them hope to become a mainstream technology on the market. So the article mainly introduces CCD (Charge coupled device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) camera type in the application of the Freescale, and also including the advantages and the disadvantages of the two cameras in the actual competition. And provide a reference for the choice of camera group in the Freescale Cup! KEYWORD: Freescale; CCD; CMOS; Smartca
