CCD Chips

Apologies if this is the wrong place for this but here goes,



I have just finished reading/working my way through "programming and customizing the AVR microcontroller" and one of the "ideas for projects" listed in the back is a CCD camera controller. This very much appeals to me, so I have done a quick google for CCD chips. I am not at the stage where I know exactly what I am looking for so find it difficult filtering out the irrelevant info.



Can anyone suggest retailers, preferably in the UK where I can purchase these chips.



Thanks.

for some project ideas.

are a couple of options that I'm aware of. Not in the UK but may give you an idea of what's available. Sparkfun also links to some interface discussions.

Depending on what you want to do, a CMOS imager might be better than a CCD. Easier to interface to a digital circuit since the ADC is built in, you don't need to clock a bunch of weird voltages with specialized driver chips, etc. Unless you want to do a CCD _because_ it is more difficult.
