| Developed for Machine Vision/AOI/Factory Automation
| Low-noise 2.8µm global shutter pixel design
| Provides multi-ROI, subsampling, on-chip statistics, etc.

Teledyne e2v released a new 5-megapixel Emerald CMOS image sensor on the 12th.
The newly released 'Emerald 5M' was developed for machine vision, AOI (Automated Optical Inspection), and factory automation applications that require converting moving objects into high-resolution images.

This sensor, available in both monochrome and color versions, features a low-noise 2.8µm global shutter pixel design and has an optical format of 1/1.8 inches. It has a 2560 x 1936 pixel array and can stream 50 frames of video in 10 bits through a 4-wire MIPI CSI-2 interface.

Emerald 5M is designed for fast and extensive task execution and is equipped with powerful proprietary capabilities and a Region of Interest (ROI) mode.

The new sensor, optimized for machine vision applications, includes a 5° Chief Ray Angle correction function and has a thickness of 1.19 mm, enabling performance in ruggedized CLGA packages or ultra-small organic fan-out packages.

Additionally, the global shutter and MIPI CSI-2 interface allow R&D engineers to utilize the latest Image Signal Processors (ISPs) for mobile applications, expanding their options. Integrated digital features (multi-ROI, subsampling, auto-exposure at first frame, single-frame HDR, on-chip statistics) also reduce processor load and accelerate time to market.

The newly released 5-megapixel sensor is part of the Emerald sensor family, which consists of 2-megapixel, 8-9-megapixel, 12-megapixel, 16-megapixel, and 67-megapixel resolutions. Product samples are scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2019.
