CCD's have become serious competitors to camera tubes, even for HDTV. The challenge set by HDTV requirements implies to soive the sensitivity I resolution antinomy with presently available VLSI technologies. This paper presents the various designs used by CCD's manufacturers and details the main performances of the two devices realized. These performances are related to the various technological choices and compared to physical limits.
