Aptina Announces 1.67um Pixel and Two New Products

Yahoo: Aptina announces 5MP SOC with 1.4um pixel design and a 1/4” optical format. The new MT9P111 sensor is targeted to 8.5x8.5mm modules. It features 720p/30 video, on-chip JPEG compression to reduce bandwidth demand on system, on-chip AutoFocus driver for fast focus response time and second generation motion adaptive exposure control (anti-shake) to capture clear images. The MT9P111 also supports Scalado Speedtags.

It is currently sampling to select customers and production is scheduled for late Q1 2009.

Yahoo: Aptina also announces 10MP sensor for digital still camera, digital video and hybrid camera applications. It's based on new 1.67um pixels. The MT9J001 sensor features 1/2.3” optical format, and a parallel/serial frame rate of 7.5fps (parallel) and 15fps (serial). MT9J001 is the first product to integrate Aptina’s High-Speed Serial Pixel Interface (HiSPi). This high bandwidth serial interface is based upon the JEDEC SLVS signaling standard and enables faster data transfer rates (up to 2.8 Gbps). Aptina’s new sensor features for-lane HiSPi and allows a camera to capture and process data in HD (1080p/60fps). Additionally, the new 10MP sensor is the first of Aptina’s high performance sensors with digital re-sampling after binning. This re-sampling feature removes binning artifacts seen in 2x2 binned images and matches the distribution density of the original unbinned image.

HiSPi interface is developed and owned by Aptina Imaging. The open access, scalable technology enables 1080p/60 fps performance (and beyond) and has been adopted by many of Aptina’s business partners. HiSPi technology provides distinct benefits for users including open access to a performance focused interface, the ability to support 1080p/60fps today—4X the data rate of standard broadcast (DI)—and the scalability to accommodate higher data rates for the future.

Samples will be available in 4Q08 and limited production begins in 1Q09.
