ON Semiconductor claims the highest-resolution interline transfer charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor on the market. The 50-megapixel (MP) KAI-50140 provides high-quality imaging detail and image uniformity required to inspect smartphone displays as well as circuit boards and mechanical assemblies and aerial surveillance applications.
The KAI-50410 has the same 2.18:1 aspect ratio as most modern smartphones, thereby reducing the number of image captures required to inspect a complete display. It supports frame rates of up to 4 fps by implementing flexible 1-, 2-, or 4-output readout architecture.
The 4.5-µm interline transfer CCD pixels deliver high resolution with a true electronic (global) shutter while maintaining quality imaging performance. The KAI-50410 has the same pin definitions as ON Semiconductor’s KAI-29050 (29 MP), KAI-29052 (29 MP), and KAI-43140 image sensors, so it can be integrated into existing camera designs with minimal electrical adjustments, reducing the OEM’s time-to-market.
The KAI-50140 is currently sampling with volume production planned by the end of 2018. The device is available in a ceramic PGA package in both monochrome and Bayer color configurations.
