Teledyne e2v markets its Topaz series of industrial CMOS sensors with new 2MP and 1.5MP resolution devices. These 1920 x 1080 and 1920 x 800-pixel format sensors use state-of-the-art low noise, global-shutter pixel technology to offer powerful solutions and enable compact mobile designs for many applications.
Housed in a tiny 4.45 mm wide Chip Scale Package (CSP), the Topaz sensors have an optical array centre which precisely matches the mechanical centre of the package, allowing for a slim camera design. This makes them particularly suitable for miniature OEM barcode engine designs, mobile terminals and sleds, IoT, contactless authentication systems, wearable devices, drones and robotics.
Their 1/3” optical format is made possible due to the small 2.5µm global shutter pixel that employs in-pixel CDS (correlated double sampling) and advanced dual light-guides to achieve good SNR at low-light, with low crosstalk for crisp images.
Key Features
- Advanced 2.5µm x 2.5µm global shutter pixel
- Low readout noise of typically 3.3 electrons
- Excellent low light SNR performance with short exposure times
- Ultra-low dark signal for exceptionally good high temp performance
- Frame rate of >100 frames per second in 8 bit output mode
- 2 lane MIPI outputs (1.2Gpix/sec each) for seamless connection with CPU, ISP and other application processors
- Fast Wake Up mode – decode within 10 milliseconds after power up and other useful application features
