HDR OEM Sensor

These HDR sensors are based on a new generation of CMOS imaging technology, capable of generating a highly stable image even under very wide intra scene dynamic range (> 120dB) in a single frame time.

In addition these imaging sensors deliver sharp and clear images even at high operating temperature (typically up to 90°C) without creating pixel artifacts.

Key Features
• High dynamic range (>120dB) without compromising low light level performances
• No image lag, no smearing, no blooming
• Suppression of spatial-temporal light accommodation thanks to Log response
• Fully encapsulated imaging module, ideal for System-on-Chip integration
• Extreme simplicity of integration: Power in – Image out
• Free of hot or flickering pixels even at high temperature

The sensors are currently available in these formats:

Resolution Optical format Pixel size (µm2) Chroma Read mode Output 320×256   25×25   Rolling Analog TV 768×576 1/2” 10×10 Mono Rolling Analog TV 768×576 1/4” 5.6×5.6 Mono Rolling Analog TV

These formats are under development and should begin sampling in Q1 2011:

Technology Benefits
• Ease of integration: no complicated register to program
• No exposure time to setup
• No companion chip or DSP required to produce a wide dynamic range image
• Operates without special setup in any light conditions
• No illumination saturation
• No need for fixed pattern noise correction
• Enables high operating temperature applications
