At Automate 2024, OMNIVISION will showcase two
new image sensors that feature excellent shutter efficiency and
low-light performance for vision-guided robotics, logistics
barcodes, high-speed inspection and intelligent transportation
systems
OMNIVISION, a leading global developer of semiconductor
solutions, including advanced digital imaging, analog, and touch
& display technology, today announced two new CMOS global
shutter (GS) image sensors for machine vision applications.
OMNIVISION has created a new Machine Vision Unit, which will focus
on creating innovative solutions for industrial automation,
robotics, logistics barcode scanners and intelligent transportation
systems (ITS).
OMNIVISION’s new GS sensors feature the industry’s smallest
2.2-micron (µm) backside-illuminated (BSI) pixel for high
resolution in a compact design. The high-resolution, small-format
GS 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. They also 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 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 sensor 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 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.
Key features of the OG05B1B GS image sensor:
- 2592 x 1944 resolution (5MP)
- Fast frame rate of 60fps
- High shutter efficiency of 106 dB
- Interface: 4-lane MIPI & DVP
- External trigger snapshot mode enabling back-end exposure
control for improved accuracy
- Nyxel® boosting QE from 700 to 1050nm, 58% QE @850nm
Key features of the OG01H1B GS image sensor:
- 1440 x 1080 resolution (1.5MP)
- Fast frame rate of 120fps
- High shutter efficiency of 106 dB
- Interface: 4-lane MIPI & DVP
- External trigger snapshot mode enabling back-end exposure
control for improved accuracy
- Nyxel® boosting QE from 700 to 1050nm, 58% QE @850nm
The GS sensors are available for sampling now and will be in
mass production this quarter. For more information, contact your
