OMNIVISION, a global developer of semiconductor solutions, including advanced digital imaging, analog, and touch and display technology, has announced the launches of two new CMOS global shutter (GS) image sensors, the models OG05B1B and OG01H1B.
The sensors excel in shutter efficiency and low-light performance. They are ideal for various demanding machine vision-related applications, including vision-guided robotics, logistics barcode scanning, high-speed inspection, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS).
The new 2.2 µm BSI GS sensors outperform the previous-generation 2.5 µm frontside-illuminated (FSI) GS sensors, achieving 1.08x sensitivity with an F2.0 lens and 2.16x sensitivity with an F1.4 lens. The OG05B1B is a 5-megapixel (MP) resolution CMOS monochrome GS sensor in a 1/2.53-inch optical format (OF), while the OG01H1B is a 1.5MP resolution CMOS monochrome GS sensor in a 1/4.51-inch OF.
Both image sensors integrate OMNIVISION’s Nyxel® NIR technology, which boosts QE to 700-1050 nm, enabling the capture of brighter images from greater distances. They also feature PureCel®Plus-S stacked-die architecture for best-in-class image sensor performance and CSP package technology for the smallest possible dimensions.
New GS sensors from OMNIVISION also feature the industry’s smallest 2.2-micron (µm) backside-illuminated (BSI) pixel, providing high resolution in a compact design. These high-resolution, small-format sensors deliver the highest shutter efficiency, capturing high-speed moving objects clearly and accurately at high frame rates. They also offer high sensitivity, low noise, and enhanced near-infrared (NIR) quantum efficiency (QE) for superior low-light performance.
Due to increasing industry demand for its products within the machine vision industry, OMNIVISION has established a new dedicated Machine Vision Unit focused on designing, developing, and manufacturing innovative solutions for industrial automation, robotics, logistics barcode scanners, and ITS.
“We see a huge demand in the machine vision market for 3D cameras and CMOS image sensors,” said Michael Wu, senior vice president of global sales and marketing at 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.”
Sample quantities of OMNIVISION GS sensors are now available for immediate customer order, and with commercial volume availability anticipated over the next few months. For more information, click here.
