ON Semiconductor (Phoenix, AZ) is enhancing its charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor portfolio with new technology for industrial applications. The new KAI-08051 Image Sensor provides improved light sensitivity, reduced read noise, and improved color accuracy compared to the previous generation device, expanding opportunities for 8 megapixel image capture in demanding imaging applications such as intelligent traffic, surveillance, medical Imaging, and industrial inspection. The KAI-08051 Image Sensor shares the same advanced 5.5 micron pixel architecture, 8 megapixel resolution, 15 frame per second readout rate, and 4/3 optical format as the existing KAI-08050 Image Sensor, but improves key performance parameters through the use of:
- An improved amplifier design.
- Newly optimized microlens structure.
- New color filter pigments in both Bayer and Sparse color configurations.
