CMOS Image Sensor Offers 13.2Gb/s Throughput
Cypress Semiconductor is introducing
a CMOS image sensor with industry-leading
data throughput of 13.2Gb/s.
The 3.0 megapixel LUPA-3000 sensor offers a
triggered and pipelined synchronous shutter
with a frame rate of 485 frames-per-second.
An integrated windowing capability helps
reduce image distortion and provides fast
readout.
The sensor also features on-chip digital
Low-Voltage Differential Signalling (LVDS)
outputs that simplify the transport of sensor
data and overall camera design for machine
vision and holographic data-storage
applications.
The LUPA-3000 features a fully-synchronous
snapshot shutter, making it
possible to read one image while the next is
being acquired and to capture moving
objects without distortion. The sensor has 32
8-bit digital LVDS outputs that allow image
data to be transferred over long distances on
the circuit board. It includes an array of 1696
x 1710 pixels with a 8µm x 8µm pixel size.
