Best for AR, robotics, and wearables

Mouser Electronics, the New Product Introduction (NPI) leader in enabling innovation™, today announced that it is now stocking the Mira016 CMOS NIR image sensor from ams OSRAM.


The Mira016 sensor is a global shutter image sensor with sensitivity optimized for the near-infrared (NIR) band and a compact design, making it ideal for industrial machine vision, robotics, wearable devices, and AR/VR applications.


Mira016 is based on 2.79μm pixel size and 1.8mm² ultra-small form factor, and adopts BSI (Back-Side Illumination) technology to realize excellent sensitivity even in low-light environments. This enables precise tracking based on 2D/3D recognition of eyes, head, hands, and environment, and is easy to apply to various sensing solutions.


The sensor is equipped with a MIPI CSI-2 interface for easy integration with major FPGAs and edge processors, and its high power efficiency contributes to expanding the measurement range and optimizing system power consumption in mobile devices, battery-based IoT devices, and facial recognition systems.


Mira016 also supports precise sensing in various environments with on-chip processing, context switching, and lighting synchronization trigger functions. These features provide high utilization in authentication devices, 3D sensing, and wearable technology that require long-term battery operation.


Mouser Electronics announced that high-sensitivity image sensors from ams OSRAM will enable customers to build smaller, more precise, and more power-efficient sensing systems.
