“The introduction of the 48Mpixel CMV50000 gives camera manufacturers the opportunity to enjoy the design and operating advantages of a CMOS image sensor while gaining the ultra-high resolution, which has previously only been available through the use of CCD sensors”, said Wim Wuyts, Marketing Manager for image sensors at ams. “The CMV50000’s advanced noise-reduction features such as black level clamping combined with its high optical dynamic range, results in high picture quality at full operation speed without the need for complex analog output matching required for multi-tap CCD image sensors and therefore also decreases the camera development time significantly.”
The monochrome version of the CMV50000 is sampling now. The color version will be available for sampling by the end of 2016. Unit pricing is €3,450.
For next Leica camera?
ReplyDelete30fps 48Mp, I want it for my camera!
ReplyDeleteWho is manufacturing this monster?
IO Industries is making a CoaXPress version:

I'll take 10 for my car's dashcams!
ReplyDeletePlease mail €34,500 + VAT and a SASE to CMOSIS. Cash will be good. Unfortunately we cannot take your car instead, although we think it is very pretty.
DeleteI wonder what their yields are. The array alone is 1004 mm^2 (36.4mm x 27.6mm). The roll-off across the array must be significant as well.
ReplyDeleteThe unit price of 3,450 euro told you already. People can buy an entire wafer with that amount of money.
DeleteIt's amazing that this sensor would be worth 3-4k: a medium-size vanilla cmos sensor based on 10 year old ip in such a competitive field?
ReplyDeleteYield? This unit price turns profits at 1 good sensor per 2 wafers? The sensor is really not that large.
It must be that people simply want to pay this much. Great for AMS! I'm curious what is next.
One of the first uses of EIGHT Transistors was in the Hitachi Two-Band (AM-SW) 8-Transistor Radio Model WH-822H http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/hitachi_transistor_8_wh_822h.html
ReplyDeleteIt is unfortunate that CMOSIS did not make the Image Sensor Array 16:9 or 8192x5804. The Data Rate and CDS are certainly welcome.
