SWIR cameras for AI automotive and medical applications and more

Mouser now supplies Acuros CQD SWIR cameras from onsemi. The cameras supply high-resolution imaging and sensing capabilities across the visible, NIR, and SWIR spectrum for machine vision, security, industrial, thermography, automotive, agricultural, and medical imaging.

The cameras feature 400nm to 1,700nm broadband image sensor technology based on CQD thin film photodiodes fabricated monolithically on silicon readout wafers. The cameras provide high frame rates, global shutter operation, and up to 70dB of dynamic range. The cameras are available in a variety of Acuros sensor sizes, including a 6.3MP (3064 x 2040), 4.2MP (2040 x 2040), 2.1MP (1920 x 1080), 1.2MP (1280 x 1024), or VGA (640 x 512) format sensor. The camera includes USB3 Vision, GigE Vision and CameraLink interfaces to supply end users with the flexibility of programmable frame time, exposure time, gain modes, window modes, binning modes, and more.

Designed for multi-tool imaging systems, the Acuros CQD cameras are compatible with a wide range of SWIR lenses and can be operated by an internal clock or externally triggered via software or a hardware TTL trigger input. The Acuros CQD cameras have EAR-99 export classification, which needs no license for global export. This makes the cameras ideal for integration in multi-national and domestic supply chains and manufacturing operations.
