ams CSG8K - 1” Global Shutter Image Sensor

With the CSG14K, ams offers a 14Mp global shutter area scan sensor, featuring 3.2μm charge domain pixels for the most demanding machine vision applications in 1” optical size.The CSG family features fast 12-bit column based ADCs to achieve industry-leading high frame rates at full resolution enabling faster inspection and higher data throughputs. Data throughput can be reduced by subsampling or binning enabling even higher frame rates. Optical black pixels are used for automatic black level calibration and row noise correction. Computation in the ISP pipeline can be streamlined by the histogram and image statistics that are calculated on-chip. Binning of pixels is possible to improve FWC, DR and SNR. HDR modes operate with dual exposure. Exposure and read-out can be externally triggered.The CSG family comes in a 218-pin LGA package with 22mm x 20mm x 3.3mm for ultra-compact(C-Mount) designs. Typical applications include 4K video, factory automation, intelligenttransportation systems (ITS) and general machine vison.

The CMV4000 is a high sensitivity, pipelined global shutter CMOS image sensor with 2048 x 2048 pixel resolution capable of HD format. Pipelining allows exposure during read out. The state-of-the-art pixel architecture offers true correlated double sampling (CDS) reducing the fixed pattern noise and dark noise significantly. The imager integrates 16 LVDS channels each running at 480 Mbps resulting in a 180 fps frame rate at full resolution at 10 bit per pixel. Driving and read-out are programmed over a serial peripheral interface. An internal timing generator produces the signals needed for read-out and exposure control of the image sensor. External exposure triggering remains possible. A 12 bit per pixel mode is available at reduced frame rate.
