Emerald Gen2
Emerald Gen2 is Teledyne e2v's latest family of CMOS image sensors for professional applications. Relying on small global shutter pixels, Emerald sensors are compliant with compact and affordable optics. Their similar architecture and pinouts make the development of multi-resolution offers from a single design easy. All Emerald sensors are embedded with a wide range of on-chip features such as multi-ROI, single-frame HDR and image statistics.
Sharp Images at High Speeds
Emerald™ Gen2 is a new state-of-the-art CMOS image sensor family that is available in 8.9-Megapixels (4,096 x 2,160) or 12-Megapixels (4,096 x 3,072), in monochrome or color, and in two-speed grades, standard and high. The high-speed models provide superior performance for demanding applications that require sharp images at very high speeds, such as food sorting, inspection, and Intelligent Traffic Systems.
Excellent Low-light SNR
The sensors have a small 2.8 µm global shutter pixel, designed with Teledyne e2v’s latest generation light pipe technology, which provides up to 67 dB dynamic range in 10-bit and 12-bit ADC mode and delivers low-noise performance with < 3e- readout noise and increased sensitivity and angular response. This allows cameras to work in high-contrast scenes without any exposure issues in the images.
Improved Features
Compared to the original Emerald family, this new generation has several improved features. Its matrix is centered in a compact 21 x 20 mm² Ceramic Land Grid Array (CLGA) package, which fits 1-inch optical formats for easier and more cost-effective integration. It has two types of output, LVDS and MIPI CSI 2, providing camera manufacturers with the option to use either interface, depending on their customer’s requirements.
Applications
