TELEDYNE E2V PRESENTS TOPAZ SENSORS IDEAL FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 15 (Bernama) -- Teledyne e2v, a part of Teledyne Technologies, has introduced 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, based on a statement.

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.

Teledyne e2v CMOS Sensors Marketing Manager, Gareth Powell said: “Modern logistics, retail, and manufacturing applications all require enhanced productivity and throughput, with longer working ranges.

“The new Topaz sensors were developed with this in mind, offering an excellent cost/performance ratio for high volume adoption. They also have a tiny footprint making them ideal to drive the world’s smallest barcode OEM engines and thinnest mobile platforms.”

Key features include 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; and, ultra-low dark signal for exceptionally good high temp performance.
