Fullformatssensor med 150 megapixel
Högupplöst var det här
Tycker du att dagens systemkameror har lite för dålig upplösning? Tyvärr så får du nog tycka det ett tag till även om jag nu skriver nyheten om en fullformatssensor med 150 megapixel, vilket jag gör. Företagen TowerJazz och Gpixel har nämligen presenterat en 150-megapixelssensor i fullformat och en av de coolaste sakerna med den är att den ska kunna ta långa exponeringar utan kylning. Dock rör det sig alltså om en sensor för kameror som används vid forskning och för medicinskt bruk med mera men det visar ändå vad man faktiskt kan bygga för kul.150 megapixel med grymt dynamiskt omfång på en fullformatssensor är något jag inte skulle säga nej till trots att jag inte vet vad jag skulle med 150 megapixel till.

TowerJazz and Gpixel Announce World’s Highest Resolution, 150 Megapixel Full-Frame CMOS Image Sensor
Targets China’s fast growing medical, industrial and scientific imaging markets
LONDON -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader, and Gpixel, Inc., a custom IC design house in China, announced today at Image Sensors 2014, the release of Gpixel’s world’s highest resolution CMOS image sensor using TowerJazz’s TS18IS technology. Gpixel’s 150 megapixel full-frame CMOS image sensor (GMAX3005) will target the demanding medical, industrial and scientific imaging markets. According to a 2014 image sensors report by Yole, sensors for automotive, machine vision, security and surveillance were ranked as fast emerging markets with a CAGR over 20% each. The new sensor from Gpixel and additional products expected to be released this year will answer the growing demand in China for high end image sensors.
“We believe that an intelligent imaging system is essential for all future smart ICs. The core of such an imaging system is a high performance, robust, reliable and integrated image sensor. We chose TowerJazz’s CMOS image sensor manufacturing process due to its excellent pixel performance, stitching technology for wafer scale die size, and its outstanding pixel and process customization capabilities,” said Dr. Xinyang Wang, Founder & CEO, Gpixel, Inc. “We believe China is on its way to become the biggest market in the world for high-end image sensor products and TowerJazz, as our strategic partner, is critical to our success.”
“We are pleased Gpixel is starting the production ramp of their high resolution image sensor and we are confident they will grow rapidly to address China’s rising demand in the high end CMOS image sensor market,” said Dr. Avi Strum, Vice President and General Manager, CMOS Image Sensor Business Unit, TowerJazz. “Gpixel’s GMAX3005 was a first time success due to Gpixel’s design engineers’ very high skills and knowledge of CIS design. We believe Gpixel is the most interesting and promising CIS company in China today."
Please visit TowerJazz at Image Sensors 2014 (booth #4) at Park Plaza Victoria, London to learn more about its CMOS image sensor technology.
About GMAX3005
Gpixel’s GMAX3005 is a monochrome CMOS image sensor, offering a world record 150MP active pixel resolution, and is capable of running at ten frames per second at full frame with even higher frame rates achieved in row-windowing mode. This “wafer-scale” sensor has an astonishing 167.6mm x 30.1mm chip size including 165mm x 27.5mm photon-sensitive area. GMAX3005 has 16-bit on-chip ADC with 12-bit ENOB, and 120 LVDS output pairs running at 200Mbps. The sensor consumes less than 2.5W at full frame rate in full resolution.
GMAX3005 sits in an ultra-flat 395-pin PGA ceramic package with excellent heat dissipation and reliability. GMAX3005 is ideal for applications that require high sensitivity; it reaches a noise level of less than 4e-, a dynamic range of 75.4dB, and over 70% quantum efficiency at 550nm wavelength. GMAX3005 has a dark current as low as 10e-/s/pixel at 32ºC, which makes long exposure possible even without active cooling. These performance results place it in the category of high end industrial grade sensors matching the capabilities of the best sensors available in the market today.
