ON Semiconductor XGS 16000 CMOS Image Sensor
16 megapixels, 1W consumption at 65 fps
Global shutter implementation suitable for industrial and transportation sectors


ON Semiconductor announced on the 28th that it has added the 'XGS 16000' product to its XGS CMOS image sensor product line. The new product is a 16-megapixel sensor that delivers high-quality global shutter imaging for various factory automation applications such as robotics and inspection systems.

The XGS 16000 is designed to operate in a low-power state, consuming only 1W at 65 frames per second. At the same time, it supports resolution for standard 29 × 29mm industrial cameras.

The new product supports the same architecture and footprint as other XGS CMOS image sensors, allowing manufacturers to develop products with different resolutions through a single camera design. It supports various speed grades as well as both Bayer color and monochrome options.

By implementing global shutter pixels, it also resolves motion blur and distortion issues caused by rolling shutter pixels. This is critical for automation, precision inspection, and identification applications.

Toshiba Teli has adopted the XGS 16000 sensor in its latest 16-megapixel industrial camera. The DDU1607MG/MC delivers 16-megapixel color and monochrome resolution at 47 frames per second via a DUAL USB3 interface.

The new product with a 1:1 aspect ratio design maximizes the image capture area within the camera lens optical circle and ensures optimal light sensitivity. It is compatible with the 29mm² industrial standard camera format using commercially available C-mount lenses. Therefore, the field of view and sensor area can be optimized according to the actual camera size.

ON Semiconductor provides color and monochrome versions of the XGS 16000 X-Cube and X-Celerator developer kits to simplify new camera designs. Additionally, it provides examples of high-speed conversion to the MIPI interface along with reference design kits to enable faster integration into standard FPGA evaluation environments.
