For machine vision applications such as robotics, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), logistics barcode scanners, and industrial automation, OMNIVISION has introduced three new back-side illuminated (BSI) global shutter (GS) image sensors.
The 3.45-micron (µm) BSI pixel in the new GS image sensors allows for exceptional low-light performance, industry-leading shutter efficiency, and high sensitivity.
They can replace bigger 4.8-µm pixel front-side illuminated (FSI) sensors that are typically utilized in machine vision products because of their increased performance in a smaller pixel.
New Sensors Feature Industry-Leading Tech:
- An advanced PureCel®Plus-S stacked-die architecture enables thinner modules with best-in-class light absorption, enhanced image quality from heightened sensitivity, and a large angular response that prevents color shading issues.
- Nyxel® near-infrared (NIR) technology, which boosts quantum efficiency (QE) at 700-1050nm, enabling the capture of brighter images from farther away.
- Small 3.45-µm pixels that achieve high shutter efficiency at 106dB.
- 20Ke- full-well capacity (FWC), enabling higher high dynamic range (HDR) with low noise level, resulting in clearer pictures.
- On-chip dual conversion gain (DCG™) HDR to extend dynamic range, reproducing motion artifact–free and low-noise images in challenging lighting conditions.
Three New Sensors for Machine Vision Applications:
- The OG02C10/1B: 2MP BSI GS sensors in a 1/2.53-inch optical format (OF) that supports 300 frames per second (fps)
- The OG03A10/1B: 3MP BSI GS sensor in a 1/1.8-inch OF that supports 150 fps
- The OG05C10/1B: 5MP BSI GS sensor in a 1/1.45-inch OF that supports 120 fps
Each of the new GS sensors supports both LVDS and MIPI interfaces and fits the standard C-mount lens.
The OG09A10, a 9MP BSI GS sensors in a 1-inch OF, is another member of the 3.45-µm BSI GS sensor family. The OG05B1B, a 5MP resolution sensor in a 1/2.53-inch OF, and the OG01H1B, a 1.5MP resolution GS sensor in a 1/4.51-inch OF, are members of the 2.2-µm BSI GS sensor family.
Availability
The OG03A10/1B and OG05C10/1B sensors are available for sampling now and are already in mass production.
The OG02C10/1B sensor will be available for sampling in Q1 2025 and in mass production in 2H 2025.
