onsemi debuts advanced depth sensor for industrial applications

onsemi released the Hyperlux™ ID family, the industry’s first real-time, indirect time-of-flight (iToF) sensor that offers high precision long distance measurements and 3D imaging of fast-moving objects. By using onsemi’s new proprietary global shutter pixel architecture and on-board storage, the Hyperlux ID family can capture an entire scene and simultaneously process depth measurement in real-time. This innovative approach addresses the limitations of standard iToF sensors and enables depth sensing up to 30 meters or four times further than standard iToF sensors, all within a smaller form factor. Additionally, the sensor family is capable of producing both monochrome (black and white) images and depth information at the same time. By combining these two outputs, the sensor can provide a comprehensive view of the environment without requiring separate sensors for visual and depth data.

As a result, the Hyperlux ID family enables a simplified design, the farthest depth sensing in the industry, operation under dynamic scene conditions and the ability to capture fast-moving objects, which was not possible before.
