AZO Materials publishes Teledyne e2v article " The Development of CMOS Image Sensors " with a table comparing CCD and CMOS sensors. Although I do not agree with some of the statements in the table, here it is: Characteristic CCD CMOS Signal from pixel Electron packet Voltage Signal from chip Analog Voltage Bits (digital) Readout noise low Lower at equivalent frame rate Fill factor High Moderate or low Photo-Response Moderate to high Moderate to high Sensitivity High Higher Dynamic Range High Moderate to high Uniformity High Slightly Lower Power consumption Moderate to high Low to moderate Shuttering Fast, efficient Fast, efficient Speed Moderate to High Higher Windowing Limited Multiple Anti-blooming High to none High, always Image Artefact Smearing, charge transfer inefficiency FPN, Motion (ERS), PLS Biasing and Clocking Multiple, higher voltage Single, low-voltage System Complexity High Low Sensor Complexity Low High Relative R&D cost Lower Lower or Higher depending on ...
