Imagine a surveillance system that can detect even the smallest details in a scene, accurately identify potential threats with unparalleled precision. Or envision an autonomous vehicle that can perceive and analyze its surroundings with such clarity that making split-second decisions seems almost instinctual. The AR1335 sensor can make these scenarios not only possible but incredibly effective.
The AR1335 is a high-resolution sensor that excels in low light performance compared to sensors with a similar pixel size (1.1µm x 1.1µm). Its dynamic range can capture both bright highlights and dark shadows in the same frame. The advantage the small pixel size provides is its ability to capture minute objects, which comes in handy in applications such as digital microscopes and lab equipment.
The introduction of the AR1335 sensor by Onsemi made high-resolution imaging possible in embedded vision systems without compromising the form factor.
In this article, we present the features of the sensor and learn why it is perfect for some of the most modern smart vision systems. We will also explore some of the camera solutions based on the sensors offered by TechNexion and their applications.
AR1335 – key features and technical specifications
The Onsemi AR1335 CMOS image sensor is a top-of-the-line 13MP sensor that utilizes advanced BSI (Back Side Illuminated) technology with 1.1μm pixels. This cutting-edge technology enhances the sensor’s performance in low-light conditions, increases its quantum efficiency, and expands its full-well capacity. As a result, this sensor can produce higher-quality images compared to many of its predecessors.
The AR1335 offers unique features that make it ideal for applications that demand top-of-the-line image quality, low energy consumption, and a compact design. It is especially well-suited for small-form-factor embedded vision systems such as document cameras, industrial tablets, and retina scanners. The AR1335 has seen wide adoption ever since its launch and is now part of some of the world’s best vision systems.
Here are some of the standout features of the AR1335 sensor:
- This high-resolution sensor has a pixel array of 4208H x 3120V, making it perfect for various high-resolution vision applications.
- It also supports high frame rates, allowing full-resolution images at 30 fps. Advanced video capabilities include 4K at 30 fps, 1080P at 60 fps, and 720P at 120 fps are ideal for capturing images and videos without motion blur, even when objects move at high speeds.
- This highly versatile sensor offers multiple MIPI lanes (2, 3, and 4) with options for bit-depth compression (10-8 and 10-6), making efficient bandwidth use. It also supports 3D synchronization controls, allowing stereo video capture and expanding its technology application.
- Additionally, it includes programmable controls for image customization, such as gain, blanking, exposure, and image reversal, which enhances its flexibility for various imaging needs.
- The sensor boasts impressive low noise performance, thanks to integrating two on-die phase-locked loop (PLL) oscillators. It also comes equipped with a built-in temperature sensor to help monitor and maintain optimal performance. Additionally, the on-chip features such as windowing, mirroring, and Bayer pattern horizontal down-size scaler allow for further image processing capabilities directly on the sensor.
