Image Sensors, Camera

The AR0230CSSC12SUEA0-DR is a CMOS image sensor that can be used in a variety of applications including automotive, robotic, surveillance, machine vision and other creative applications. The device is a monochrome, 1080p60 resolution CMOS image sensor with on-chip pixel binning.

Application Field

The AR0230CSSC12SUEA0-DR is a highly sensitive image sensor with a small 4.5 µm pixel size, which makes it perfect for applications that require a high-resolution image. This device can be used for applications such as automotive vision, smart surveillance systems, robotics, machine vision, and other wildlife applications. The device has two types of binning, 2×2 and 4×4, which makes it ideal for applications that require a low-light operation.

The device also offers an excellent dynamic range (80 dB). It achieved excellent noise performance with its camera signal processor (CSP) 5 stage correlated double sampling (CDS) image filter. It also has two gain control options: ISG (Integrated Signal Gate) and AGC (Automatic Gain Control). It also offers an HDR (high dynamic range) of up to 80 dB.

Working Principle

The AR0230CSSC12SUEA0-DR is a monochrome image sensor that works using the charge accumulation principle. This means that each pixel records the charges accumulated in its photodiode and accumulates it over time. The charges are converted into digital values through an on-chip ADC, and are output as either analog video or digital data. The device features an on-chip clock generator and uses a single 12V power supply. The device can be operated in a free-run or synchronized mode.

The device uses a 10-bit processing architecture to optimize the signal-to-noise performance for various applications. The device also features integrated phase-locked loop (PLL) features for digital synchronization. The output data interface supports a variety of formats including YUV and RGB 8/10/16 bit data modes.

The device features an advanced on-chip line control logic that supports up to 4K resolutions. It supports various Crop Modes to allow control of the line length, pixel size, and horizontal and vertical synchronization features. It supports both rolling shutter and global shutter modes. The device also offers a very low signal to readout noise ratio which makes it suitable for low light operations.
