Two new CMOS global shutter (GS) image sensors for machine vision applications introduced by OMNIVISION.
The new ONNIVISION CMOS global shutter image sensors combine superior digital imaging, analog, touch, and display technologies.
A new Machine Vision Unit has been established by OMNIVISION, with the goal of developing cutting-edge solutions for robotics, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), logistics barcode scanners, and industrial automation.
OMNIVISION’s New GS Image Sensors Feature:
- Industry’s smallest 2.2-micron (µm) backside-illuminated (BSI)pixel for high resolution in a compact design.
- The high-resolution, small-format GS image sensors provide the highest shutter efficiency available on the market with the ability to capture high-speed moving objects clearly and accurately at high frame rates.
- Feature high sensitivity, low noise and enhanced NIR quantum efficiency (QE) for industry-leading low-light performance.
- Compared to the previous-generation 2.5µm frontside-illuminated (FSI) GS sensors, the 2.2µm BSI GS image sensors can achieve 1.08x sensitivity with an F2.0 lens and 2.16x sensitivity with an F1.4 lens.
- The new OG05B1B is a 5-megapixel (MP) resolution CMOS monochrome GS image sensors in a 1/2.53-inch optical format (OF).
- The new OG01H1B is a 1.5MP resolution CMOS monochrome GS sensor in a 1/4.51-inch OF.
“We see a huge demand in the machine vision market for 3D cameras and CMOS image sensors,” said Michael Wu, senior vice president, global sales and marketing, OMNIVISION. “With our strong technological backbone in Nyxel®, BSI and GS technology, we bring great innovation to the industry. Our new Machine Vision Unit will focus on understanding our customers’ needs and product roadmaps and address them with novel vision solutions.”
Both GS image sensors feature OMNIVISION’s Nyxel® near-infrared (NIR) technology, which boosts QE to 700-1050nm, enabling the capture of brighter images from farther away; PureCel®Plus-S stacked-die architecture for best-in-class image sensor performance; and CSP™ package technology for the smallest possible dimensions.
