Shutter sensors support myriad of on-chip operations

These sensors give design engineers 2D and 3D solutions for industrial machine vision applications like mobile facial authentication, smart home appliances, QR readers, AR/VR, drones, smart wearable devices, structured light vision and more.

The Mira220 2.2-megapixel global shutter image sensors support on-chip operations like external triggering, windowing, and both horizontal and vertical mirroring with an effective resolution of 1600 (H) x 1400 (V) at a maximum frame rate of 90 fps at 12-bit depth.

Advanced back-side illumination (BSI) technology stacks the sensor layer on top of the digital/readout layer.

This design results in a chip-scale package with a footprint of just 5.3 mm × 5.3 mm, giving manufacturers greater freedom to optimize the design of space-constrained products such as smart glasses and VR headsets.

The shutter sensors also feature very high sensitivity and quantum efficiency with a pixel size of 2.79 μm and is supplied in a 1/2.7-inch optical format.

The Mira220 features very low power consumption, with only 4 mW required in sleep mode, 40 mW in idle mode, and 350 mW at full resolution with  90 fps.

By providing low system power consumption, the sensors enable wearable and portable device manufacturers to save space by specifying a smaller battery or extending run-time between charges.

The sensors utilise the MIPI CSI-2 interface for easy interaction with processors and FPGAs, with on-chip registers that can be accessed via the standard I²C interface for easy sensor configuration. 

The ams OSRAM Mira220 global shutter image sensors are supported by the JetCis evaluation system, also available at Mouser. The JetCis evaluation system features an open development platform based on Linux running on the nVidia Jetson Nano embedded system.

The Mira220 is available from Mouser Electronics in the Americas, EMEA and Asia/Pacific regions.
