VGA at 600 fps: CMV300 CMOS Sensor for Basic Machine Vision Applications

2011-11-15T05:22:46+00:00

Antwerp, Belgium, 8 November 2011 – At Vision 2011(Booth D78, Hall A4) CMOSIS will demonstrate its high-speed CMOS image sensor CMV300, which is specifically developed for basic machine vision applications. The sensor is a member of CMOSIS' CMV family of proven off-the-shelf CMOS image sensors and extending it to the lower resolution, but cost-critical area. The 0.3-megapixel CMV300 is laid out in the economical 1/3" VGA optical format. It offers 648 x 488 square pixels at a high frame rate and sensitivity, low noise and pipelined global shutter. The CMV300 is available in a small outline CSP package allowing the fabrication of very compact camera. First engineering samples have already been shipped to some lead customers " The CMV300 uses the same proven 8-transistor pixel structure as the well-known high-resolution CMOSIS CMV2000/4000 Series. The CMV300 realizes a dynamic range of more than 64 dB, which can be extended through several HDR (high dynamic range) operation modes. The CMV300, featuring VGA resolution with 648 x 488 square pixels laid out in a 7.4µm x 7.4µm global pipelined shutter structure, allows exposure during readout and correlated double sampling (CDS) operation. Pipelined operation enables integrating a frame during readout of the foregoing frame. This pixel architecture, along with its low parasitic light sensitivity of 1/50,000, reduces the sensor's fixed pattern noise (FPN) to less than <0.1% full swing and dark current noise to 100 e- /s at room temperature. The user can choose between four digital LVDS serial outputs of 8, 10 or 12 bits each, or one 10-bit parallel CMOS output. All ADC conversion modes deliver 600 full VGA frames per second through the four LVDS outputs at 600 Mbit/sec each. They can be multiplexed to two channels delivering a data rate of 300 frames, or to one channel at 150 fps. Higher frame rates can be achieved in row-windowing or row-subsampling modes. CMV300 also integrates a programmable gain amplifier and offset regulation. All operational modes, such as imager control and readout, are programmable via the built-in SPI interface. Exposure trigger, read-out timings and high-speed clocks are generated by a programmable on-board sequencer and PLL. External triggering and exposure programming is also possible, whereby an external trigger overrides the internal triggering. CMV300 comes as a monochrome version fitted with micro lenses, and a color version featuring RGB Bayer patterns as well as micro lenses. The CMV300 comes in a BGA CSP package of 7,3 mm x 6,8 mm size and a thickness of about 730 µm. This small size makes the CMV300 very suitable for building high performance, miniaturized machine vision cameras. Considering their cost-effective small housing, wide operating temperature range and low power consumption of just 300 mW, both are well suited for rough industrial environments. "The CMV300 is aimed at price sensitive industrial machine vision applications that nevertheless demand high performance and flexibility in terms of their operational modes," comments Lou Hermans, Vice President Sales and Marketing, on the release of the CMV300. "With this sensor, we are extending our CMOS product range to the lower resolution end of the CMV spectrum with a very competitive pricing.

CMOSIS CHR70M: Ultra-high-resolution CMOS Industrial Image Sensor

2011-10-28T08:36:35+00:00

Antwerp, Belgium, 27 October 2011 – At Vision 2011, CMOSIS will introduce its new ultra-high-resolution image sensor CHR70M. The new CMOS sensor offers an image area of 10,000 by 7,096 active pinned photodiode pixels having a pixel pitch of 3.1µm x 3.1µm, in a 2-pixel sharing pattern. The sensor offers a frame rate of 3 fps at full resolution. Application areas include ultra-high-resolution industrial imaging, such as flat-panel and PCB inspection, document scanning and high-resolution areal photography. At Vision 2011, CMOSIS will exhibit in Booth D78, Hall 4 to demonstrate this new standard product. The new ultra-high-resolution CHR70M CMOS image sensor counts 10,000 by 7,096 pixels at a 3.1 µm square pixel pitch. Image data are transferred through eight analog outputs, each running at the full master clock rate of 30MHz. This results in a full-resolution frame rate of 3 fps. Higher frame rates can be achieved in windowing or sub-sampling modes. The new image sensor also integrates a programmable gain amplifier, offset regulation, as well as on-chip timing generation. During the design of the sensor special precautions have been taken to assure that the two pixels with shared readout behave very similarly in terms of offset and gain, to avoid checkerboard-like artifacts and the need for off-chip calibration. This is particularly important for the B/W version since the effect, if present, would be masked by the bayer RGB CFA pattern in the CHR70M. Due to the staggered layout of the pixel readout circuitry all pixels show similar MTF behavior and angular sensitivity. The sensor offers moving-window functionality. The windowing and other settings are programmable via the built-in SPI interface. All internal exposure and read-out timing values can be generated by a programmable on-board sequencer. External triggering and exposure programming is also possible. The CMOSIS CHR70M works with 3.3V signaling levels. It is packaged in a 65-pin ceramic PGA.The sensor will be available as a B/W with and without micro lenses, as well as a bayer RGB color version with microlenses.. All versions will be offered with glass cover with two-sided anti-reflective coating (ARC) Monochrome and RGB color CHR70M samples with micro lenses will be available from January 2012. An evaluation kit is available for rent or purchase. Since the CHR70M started its life as a custom imager for biometric applications, the sale of this imager for these kind of applications is excluded. About CMOSIS CMOSIS was established in 2007 and is a pure-play supplier of standard off-the-shelf and application-specific CMOS image sensors for the industrial and professional market covering applications such as machine vision, scientific, medical, automatic data capture and space. The company was conceived as a fabless CMOS image sensor vendor providing in-house design, characterization and qualification facilities for research, development and volume production.

600 VGA Frames per Second: CMOSIS’ CMV sensor family expands to lower resolutions

2010-11-26T06:14:05+00:00

Antwerp, Belgium, 1 December 2010 – At Vision 2010 CMOSIS previewed a new member of its proven off-the-shelf CMOS image sensors: the 0.3-megapixel CMV300. Laid out in a 1/3" VGA (648 x 488) format, featuring high sensitivity, low-noise, global shutter and high frame rate, the CMV300 is aimed at basic, cost-critical industrial applications. Prototypes will be out by mid-2011. The new CMOSIS CMV300 will use the same advantageous 8-transistor pixel structure as the high-resolution series CMV2000/CMV4000 / CMV12000. With 7.4 µm square pixels, a low noise level of just 9 e- and a full well charge of 20,000 electrons, the new CMV300 realizes a dynamic range of more than 66 dB, which can be extended through several HDR (high dynamic range) operational modes. The CMV300 pixel architecture, with its low parasitic light sensitivity and correlated double sampling (CDS) in global shutter mode, reduces the sensor matrix's fixed pattern noise (FPN) and the dark current noise. Pipelined operation enables integrating a frame during readout of the foregoing frame. The sensor's 12-bit ADC delivers 600 full VGA frames per second over four LVDS outputs of 600 Mbit/sec each. They can be multiplexed to two channels delivering a data rate of 300 frames, or to one channel at 150 fps. Imager control and readout are programmable via an SPI interface. An internal runtime generator delivers all signals for data readout and exposure control. An external trigger can override the internal generated triggering. CMV300 comes in a monochrome version fitted with micro lenses, and in a color version featuring RGB Bayer patterns as well as micro lenses. Considering their cost-effective small housing, their wide operating temperature range and low power consumption of just 400 mW, both versions of the new VGA image sensor are well suited for rough industrial environments. The comprehensive CMOSIS technology portfolio contains a broad range of basic IP claims for CMOS image sensors, such as high pixel count at a high fill factor and high speed, column A/D converters with large bit depths, wide dynamic range, TDI (time-delay and integration) implementation, low-noise pixel structures as well as novel rad-hard pixel concepts.

CMOSIS Outlining Low Noise/High Dynamic Image Sensor Concept

2010-11-26T06:07:14+00:00

Antwerp, Belgium, 24 November 2010 – At Vision 2010, CMOSIS was introducing a newly developed image sensor concept that yields very low dark noise and uses dual gain readout to increase the dynamic range above 89,5 dB. CMOSIS will show a 1-Megapixel sample imager to demonstrate the pixel concept's superior performance. The new approach offers substantial advantages for numerous image processing tasks in scientific, diagnostic and security applications The new CMOSIS image sensor concept is based on a special pixel type which dynamic range is increased by two distinct techniques. Most significant is its very low dark noise of less than 3.4 e- at a full well capacity of 100 ke-. Equally important is that the integration of the image charge takes place simultaneously at a low and a high amplification setting. The dual gain readout results in two different images. They are read out sequentially and combined externally into one final image, which dynamic range extends to more than 89,5 dB. The image capture array based on this pixel type offers an electronic rolling shutter, whose lines can be selected and read out via the columns. Due to the twofold readout of each pixel, the sensor has twice the number of column amplifiers than columns. Their amplification factors are programmable at 1X to 16X. This yields a broad range of optical sensitivity. Several multiplexers are provided to select the proper column and transfer the analog signals to a three-stage output circuit, which consists of an amplifier for correlated double sampling at 1X, 2X or 4X and programmable offset, limiter and output driver. This explains the exceptional flexibility of the new concept: analog/digital conversion can be done off-chip while programmable amplification and offset ca adapt the sensor IC to different A/D converters. The limiter will spring into action when a subsequent converter needs more time to recover after a heavy overdrive – which is not tolerated by many applications. Since the basic circuitry of this image sensor provides no on-chip runtime control, the pixel array is completely controlled externally. It comes with a serial interface that allows the setting of several internal registers for parameter selection. A demonstrator of the concept, first-time shown at Vision 2010, is the CLN1000 (CMOSIS Low Noise 1000K Pixel). The sample unit features a 1-megapixel array (1024 x 1024) laid out as a 10x10µm grid. Two amplifier paths (a total of 2048) per pixel column (total of 1024) minimize readout noise. Four analog output channels of 16 MSPS each, which can be combined via a 4:1 multiplexer to a 64 MSPS output, are driven by four 512:1 multiplexers and output stages. Maximum frame rate of this configuration is 20 fps. The CMOSIS CLN1000 sample is housed in a JLCC-84. It consumes about 300 to 350 mW of power. Based on this 1-Megapixel sample unit, CMOSIS will design and implement a number of future sensor products for specific applications. These new products may integrate runtime control and on-chip analog/digital conversion and deliver higher frame rates and/or special pixel sizes. Among the manifold uses of the new CMOSIS dual gain readout sensor concept are scene monitoring and analysis, medical diagnostics, astronomy, microscopy and spectroscopy, industrial image processing, X-ray radiography, as well as luminescence- and fluorescence-based applications. About CMOSIS CMOSIS was established in 2007 and is a pure-play supplier of standard off-the-shelf and application-specific CMOS image sensors for the industrial and professional market covering applications such as machine vision, scientific, medical, automatic data capture and space.

Together, we are well-positioned to win a significant share of future industrial and professional CMOS image sensor markets,” said Dr. Avi Strum, Vice President and General Manager of TowerJazz’s Specialty Business Unit. CMV12000 offers a dynamic range of 60 dB, extendable to 90 dB through several HDR (high dynamic range) operation modes. The sensor pixels have a very low parasitic light sensitivity (1:50,000) enabling high efficiency global shutter operation, which allows the sensor to capture extreme fast moving scenes without image distortion. One of the unique features of CMV12000 is the novel pixel structure, which combines pipelined global shutter operation with correlated double sampling (CDS). This technique, pioneered by CMOSIS, yields an unprecedented low noise level below 13 e- and a full well charge of 13,500 electrons. The global shutter CDS also significantly reduces the sensor matrix's fixed pattern noise (FPN) for better image quality. CMV12000’s on-chip A/D converter can be operated at 8-bit, 10-bit or 12-bit resolution. In the faster 10-bit mode, 300 full frames per second are acquired. At 12-bit, CMV12000 still realizes a frame rate of 180 fps. The sensor's advanced architecture allows for row windowing and row sub-sampling. Up to 32 separate partial windows can be defined for an accelerated readout. Averaging several pixels raises these frame rates and increases the dynamic range. The CMOSIS technology portfolio contains crucial IP related to various advanced aspects of image sensors – among them high pixel counts at a high fill factor, high-speed functionality, large bit-depth of column ADCs, high dynamic range, TDI (time-delay and integration) implementation in CMOS and novel rad-hard pixel concepts.

CMOSIS Offers 4.2 Megapixel/180 fps CMOS Image Sensor for the Near Infrared

2010-10-06T13:56:58+00:00

Antwerp, Belgium, 1 October 2010 - At Vision 2010, CMOSIS will introduce a new member of its standard high-end CMOS image sensor family: the 4.2 megapixel CMV4000E12. The new off-the-shelf image sensor features a square 5.5 x 5.5 µm (2048 x 2048) pixel format. It offers high NIR sensitivity, low noise, central shutter and full frame rate of 180 fps. The CMV4000 is perfectly suited for advanced applications in the visible and near infrared spectrum. CMOSIS exhibits in Hall 4/Booth D78. The new CMOSIS CMV4000E12 realizes a dynamic range of 60 dB, extendable up to 90 dB through several HDR (high dynamic range) operational modes. The sensor's low sensitivity (1:50,000) to parasitic light results in a very effective electronic shutter. The unique feature of the CMV 4000 is its novel pixel structure, which combines pipelined global shutter operation with correlated double sampling (CDS). This technique, pioneered by CMOSIS, yields an unprecedented low noise level below 13 e- and a high full well charge of 13,500 electrons. The built-in A/D converter can be operated at 10-bit or 12-bit resolution. In the faster 10-bit mode, 180 full frames per second are achieved. At 12-bit, the CMV4000E12 operates at 37 fps. The sensor's advanced architecture allows for row windowing and row sub-sampling. Up to eight windows can be defined. The CMV4000E12 offers 16 LVDS output channels at 480 Mbit/sec each. They can be multiplexed to 8, 4 or 2 channels at a reduced data rate. Pipelined operation allows for integrating a frame during readout of the foregoing frame. Imager control and readout are programmable via serial interface. An internal runtime generator generates all signals for readout and exposure control. External trigger is usable at all times. The new image sensor is housed in the very compact 95-pin ceramic µPGA measuring just 18,6 x 18,6 mm. Operating temperature covers the range of -30 ºC to +70 ºC. Power consumption is a low 600 mW. CMV4000E5 is fabricated on a thin 5 µm epi substrate, which suits industrial applications across the visible spectrum. For applications extending to the near infrared, such as security, automotive, night-vision, inspection and distance measurement, CMOSIS offers the CMV4000E12 on a thicker,12 µm epi substrate. This substantially increases the quantum efficiency at wavelengths above 600 nm. At 900 nm, QE is doubled from about 8 to 16 percent. Additionally, the CMV2000E12 is available featuring a 2.2 megapixel format. CMV2000 was introduced by CMOSIS in 2009. It offers a frame rate of more than 300 fps at full resolution, a high-performance 10-bit column ADC, a slower 12-bit mode and multiple HDR modes. CMV4000 and CMV2000 are offered in three different versions: monochrome with or without microlenses, and a color version equipped with RGB Bayer pattern and microlenses. The monochrome and RGB color versions (CMV2000E5 and CMV4000E5) are currently available in volume quantities. The extended monochrome versions CMV2000E12 and CMV4000E12 with micro lenses are available in sample quantities. The CMOSIS technology portfolio contains crucial IP related to various advanced aspects of image sensors – among them high pixel counts at a high fill factor, high-speed functionality, large bit-depth of column ADCs, high dynamic range, TDI (time-delay and integration) implementation in CMOS and novel rad-hard pixel concepts About CMOSIS CMOSIS is a pure-play supplier of standard off-the-shelf and application-specific CMOS image sensors for the industrial and professional market covering applications such as machine vision, scientific, medical, automatic data capture and space.
