The family of CMOS area and line scan sensors from ams features high frame rates and global shutter capability for use in machine vision applications.
The ams CMOS sensors produce images of the same high quality as CCD image sensors, while offering all the other advantages of CMOS image sensors: low power, integration of an on-chip ADC, high data rate, digital interfaces and on-chip control of the sensor’s operation.
The ams image sensors’ 8T global shutter pixel has a very high shutter efficiency (low sensitivity to parasitic light) and offers operating modes optimized for high dynamic range. This means that the sensors are very well suited to applications which control of the lighting conditions is limited, such as in outdoor environments.
