Teledyne e2v expands Emerald sensor range

Teledyne e2v says its new image sensors feature a pixel architecture which improves performance while reducing the overall camera cost. The Emerald 12M and 16M CMOS image sensors come with features suitable for high-speed interface systems, the company adds. Both products feature a 2.8μm low-noise global shutter pixel, which is produced using a 100nm water manufacturing process from manufacturer TowerJazz.

Teledyne e2v says its new image sensors feature a pixel architecture which improves performance while reducing the overall camera cost.

The Emerald 12M and 16M CMOS image sensors come with features suitable for high-speed interface systems, the company adds.

Both products feature a 2.8μm low-noise global shutter pixel, which is produced using a 100nm water manufacturing process from manufacturer TowerJazz.

According to Teledyne e2v, the sensors feature high dynamic range modes with up to 120dB dynamic range and return on investment mode which allows multiple images to be captured under different exposure conditions.

These sensors also host the same ceramic land grid array package, optical centre, readout structure and processing.

    Someone once likened predicting the future to ‘nailing a jelly to the wall’. With ITS, C-ITS and V2X technology progressing at such a pace, predicting the future is more akin to trying to nail three jellies to the wall – but only having one nail. And yet with roadways having a lifetime measured in decades, that is exactly what highway engineers and traffic planners are expected to do. Fortunately, New Hampshire DoT (NHDoT) believes its technological advances may be able to provide a solution. The Central Ne
