Hyundai launches CMOS sensors
SAN JOSE--Hyundai Electronics America here has rolled out a new series of integrated CMOS image sensors aimed at various digital imaging applications, including personal-computer cameras, digital still cameras, digital video cameras, security systems, and toys.
The sensors are intended to offer system manufacturers a low-cost, low-power, and high-integration alternative compared to existing charged-coupled device (CCD) based sensors, said the U.S.-based subsidiary of South Korea's Hyundai Electronics Industries Co. Ltd.
Hyundai's CMOS image sensors includes HV7113A with CIF (400x300), HV7114A VGA (640x480), and HV7141A SVGA (800x600) resolution based on active high efficiency RGB color photo pixel technology. The sensors integrate 8-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADC) for direct digital output, pan and frame-rate control, various readout mode control, and automatic gain control (AGC) functions.
Production is slated to begin in the third quarter. According to Hyundai, the devices will operate on a single 3.3-V power supply, and the will be housed in 20-pin ceramic DIP. The company is making reference design kits available now. |
