Toshiba Corporation launches highly sensitive CMOS image sensor with BSI
Toshiba has announced the launch of a new CMOS image sensor that will bring 14.6 million pixels to digital still cameras and to mobile phones supporting video imaging. The sensor, the latest addition to Toshiba’s “Dynastron” line-up, is also the company’s first to integrate the enhanced sensitivity offered by back-side illumination technology (BSI). Sampling of the new sensor will begin in December and mass production will follow from the...

SmartQuantum launches a Single Photon Detector, the SQLightSensor.
The SQLightSensor is an ultra low noise near infrared Single Photon Detector based on a Geiger-mode InGaAs avalanche photodiode and an internal thermoelectrically cooler. The SQLightSensor includes a Geiger-mode InGaAs avalanche photodiode (APD) and a thermoelectrically cooler (TEC) that ensures high detection efficiency up to 25%, low dark count (5.10-6 per ns gate), high speed trigger up to 10 MHz, and low jitter. The gate width and the delay a...

RGB laser driver squeezes embedded pico projectors into a new class of consumer electronics
Maxim has introduced the MAX3600, a 3-channel RGB laser driver that enables the integration of high-resolution pico projectors into small-form-factor applications. Fabricated using Maxim's newest BiCMOS process, this device achieves very fast switching times of < 2ns to support high-resolution images up to 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels) and WXGA (1400 x 768 pixels). Additionally, it eliminates the need for three discrete laser drivers, thus enabling ...
