Onsemi launched grain-size, low-power image sensor family for wide market
Date: 13/10/2023
Onsemi has launched a new image sensor family called Hyperlux LP with low power consumption for smart homes and offices and industrial applications such as smart doorbells, security cameras, AR/VR/XR headsets, machine vision and video conferencing.
Hyperlux LP uses a stacked architecture design that minimizes its footprint and at its smallest approaches the size of a grain of rice, making it ideal for devices where size is critical. Depending on the use case, customers can choose between the 5-megapixel AR0544, the 8-megapixel AR0830 or the 20-megapixel AR2020.
Features of The Hyperlux LP family that optimize performance and resolution are:
Wake on Motion – Enables the sensors to operate in a low-power mode that draws a fraction of the power needed in the full-performance mode. Once the sensor detects movement, it moves to a higher performance state in less time than it takes to snap a photo.
Smart ROI – Delivers more than one region of interest (ROI) to give a context view of the scene at reduced bandwidth and a separate ROI in original detail.
Near-Infrared (NIR) Performance – Delivers superior image quality due to the innovative silicon design and pixel architecture, with minimal supplemental lighting.
Low Power – Reduces thermal noise which negatively impacts image quality and eliminates the need for heat sinks, reducing the overall cost of the vision system.
The product line additionally showcases a compact stacked architecture, effectively reducing its physical space and reaching a size comparable to a grain of rice, rendering it highly suitable for size-sensitive devices. Customers can select from the 5-megapixel AR0544, the 8-megapixel AR0830, or the 20-megapixel AR2020, based on their specific requirements.
“By leveraging our superior analog design and pixel architecture, our sensors elevate the two most important elements people consider when buying a device, picture quality and battery life. Our new image sensor family delivers performance that matters with a significantly increased battery life and exquisite, highly detailed images,” said Ross Jatou, senior vice president and general manager, Intelligent Sensing Group, onsemi.
“Our video collaboration solutions require high-quality image sensors that bring together multiple factors for the best user experience. The superior optical performance, innovative features and extremely low power consumption of the Hyperlux LP image sensors enable us to deliver a completely immersive virtual meeting experience in highly intelligent and optimized videoconferencing systems,” said Ashish Thanawala, Sr. Director of Systems Engineering, Owl Labs.
Home and business owners consistently prioritize cameras as their preferred security measure, leading to a projected market tripling by decade-end. Consequently, consumers seek devices that enhance the overall user experience through improved image quality, reliability, and extended battery life.
Image sensors enhance camera performance, enabling precise object detection and clearer imaging in challenging weather and lighting conditions. Moreover, these cameras are frequently positioned in hard-to-reach areas, necessitating low power consumption as a crucial attribute.
