DEFINITIONS OF CHARACTERISTIC ITEMS
1. Saturation voltage: Vsat
Output signal voltage at which the response linearity is lost.
2. Saturation exposure: SE
Product of intensity of illumination (IX) and storage time(s) when saturation of output voltage occurs.
3. Photo response non-uniformity: PRNU
The peak/bottom ratio to the average output voltage of all the valid bits calculated by the following formula.
PRNU(%)=
VMAX. or VMIN.

6. Output impedance: ZO
Output pin impedance viewed from outside.
7. Response: R
