Global shutter CMOS image sensors feature 2048 x 2048 pixels

The CMOSIS CMV4000 Series image sensor is now available from Mouser stock. The global shutter CMOS image sensors feature 2048 by 2048 pixels in a 1-inch optical format. The image arrays consist of 5.5µm by 5.5µm pipelined global shutter pixels. The pixels allow exposure during read out while performing CDS operation that significantly reduces fixed pattern and dark noise. The CMV4000 has 16 12-bit digital low voltage differential signalling (LVDS) serial outputs each running at 480Mbps. The image sensors also integrate a programmable gain amplifier and offset regulation. Each channel runs at 480Mbps maximum. This feature results in 180fps frame rate at full resolution in 10-bit mode. Higher frame rates can be achieved in row-windowing mode or row-sub-sampling mode. All operation modes are programmable using a SPI interface. A programmable on-board sequencer generates all internal exposure and read out timings. External triggering and exposure programming are also possible. Extended optical dynamic range can be achieved by multiple integrated high dynamic range modes. A 12-bit per pixel mode is available at reduced frame rates.
