ON Semiconductor is improving performance for industrial imaging applications that require both high resolution image capture and maximum image uniformity.
The new 29 megapixel KAI-29052 image sensor provides up to twice the imaging sensitivity of the existing KAI-29050 in the wavelength range of 500 nm to 1050 nm. This improved performance is particularly beneficial to applications operating in near-infrared wavelengths, such as 850 nm. This enhanced pixel design retains isolation of charge from one photodiode to another, enabling this increase in sensitivity without any reduction to image sharpness (Modulation Transfer Function). In addition, an improved amplifier design reduces read noise by 15%, increasing the linear dynamic range available from the device to 66 dB (more info).
