ON Semi develops 1/3in 1MP image sensor for ADAS
Keywords:ON Semiconductor ADAS image sensor CMOS BSI
ON Semiconductor has announced the early sampling of its first backside illuminated (BSI) sensor technology for the automotive imaging market, as it expands its 1/3in 1MP image sensor line-up.
The innovative sensor technology claims to deliver 4x better low light signal-to-noise ratio, a 40 per cent increase in visible light sensitivity, and greater than 60 per cent improvement in near infrared (NIR) performance than its previous offering for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), said the company.
The AR0136AT 1/3in optical format CMOS digital image sensor delivers a 1280x960 resolution from 3.75µm BSI pixels. The chip supports linear and high dynamic range (HDR) modes, in a single chip HDR solution, with a 120dB dynamic range in HDR mode.
It has an output pixel rate of 74.25MP/s (maximum), which results in a frame rate of 45fps at 960p resolution and 60fps at 720p resolution. It has an operating junction temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and will be fully qualified to AEC-Q100. Engineering samples will be available in 3Q15, with mass production planned for early 2016.
