ON Semi Announces 29MP CCD with Improved Performance

BusinessWire: ON Semi new 29MP KAI-29052 CCD provides up to twice the sensitivity of the existing KAI-29050 in the wavelength range of 500 nm to 1050 nm. This enhanced pixel design retains isolation of charge from one photodiode to another, enabling this increase in sensitivity without any reduction to image sharpness (MTF). In addition, an improved amplifier design reduces read noise by 15%, increasing the linear DR to 66 dB.

“The evolving needs of industrial imaging applications such as high end security, machine vision, and aerial surveillance and mapping require continued advancements in the portfolio of image sensors serving this market,” said Herb Erhardt, VP and GM, Industrial Solutions Division, Image Sensor Group at ON Semiconductor. “The enhanced performance available from the KAI-29052 is a further demonstration of ON Semiconductor’s ongoing commitment to provide the most advanced CCD and CMOS image sensors for these demanding markets.”
