One More 2MP Automotive Sensor from Omnivision

PRNewswire: OmniVision announces the OV2312 automotive image sensor with multiple functions in one camera. The ability to capture both RGB and IR images with one GS sensor reduces the number of cameras and total system cost. The OV2312 features the 3.0-micron OmniPixel3-GS at resolutions of 1600x1300 at 60fps and 1280x720 at 90fps. Additionally, because this is the smallest 2MP GS sensor in its class—offered in a 7.2 x 6.1mm automotive chip-scale package—cameras can be placed out of sight from drivers and passengers. The NIR QE is 14% at the 940nm.

“The global automotive image sensor market is poised to experience accelerated growth due to the increased demand for driver state monitoring,” said Thilo Rausch, product marketing manager at OmniVision. “At the same time, automotive designers are looking for cost-effective ways to address consumer demand for applications like video conferencing in the mainstream car segment. By providing a dual-mode sensor that fuses human and machine vision capabilities, we are enabling designers to address both trends with a single camera.”

OV2312 samples are available now, and it is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 certified for automotive applications.
