Sensor

Featuring ON Semiconductor's A-Pix technology, the 3.1-megapixel sensor addresses the needs of the growing surveillance market centered around full HD video through the superior performance of the new 2.2-micron pixel sensor. With excellent image quality, the AR0331 targets the mainstream market for 1/3-inch optical format surveillance cameras. The sensor enables surveillance camera manufacturers to upgrade performance to current 3-megapixel sensor designs with an industry-best feature set combining Full HD video and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) capabilities with built-in Adaptive Local Toning Mapping combined. Delivering up to 1080p HD video at 60 fps, the new sensor features advanced binning technology that enables the sensor's sub-1-lux low-light performance. The AR0331 image sensor is the second HD image sensor in ON Semiconductor's surveillance portfolio, and similar to the MT9M033 (720p/60fps), it features low-light and dynamic range capabilities, enabling surveillance cameras to capture HD in the most challenging environments video.

This 1/3-inch form factor, 1.2 MP imaging device is suitable for meeting the challenging requirements of industrial, consumer, and IoT applications. This new global shutter sensor allows the camera to "freeze" fast-moving scene data, ensuring efficient synchronization with pulsed light sources. The AR0135 sensor incorporates a new innovative global shutter pixel design that reduces dark current by a factor of 10 and shutter efficiency by a factor of 4 compared to the previous generation. These performance improvements allow the sensor to produce clear, noise-free images in low-light and bright scenes, as well as high-temperature environments. This capability enables eye tracking and gesture detection required in 3D scanners, gesture recognition devices.

The VITA 25K is a 5120 x 5120 CMOS image sensor that delivers high-resolution images at frame rates up to 53 frames per second. High-sensitivity 4.5 µm x 4.5 µm pixels support pipelined and triggered global shutter readout modes, and can also operate in low-noise rolling shutter mode. In rolling shutter mode, the sensor supports correlated double-sampled readout, which reduces noise and improves dynamic range. The sensor has an on-chip programmable gain amplifier and 10-bit A/D converter. The black level of the image can be calibrated automatically or adjusted by adding a user-programmable offset. High programmability using a four-wire serial peripheral interface allows users to read specific regions of interest. Programmable up to 32 zones for higher frame rates. The image data interface consists of 32 LVDS channels. Each channel operates at 620 Mbps. A separate sync channel containing payload information is provided, enabling image reconstruction at the receiver. The VITA 25K is housed in a ceramic 355-pin PGA package and is available in monochrome and color versions.
