STMicroelectronics VB5943 & VD5943

VB5943 & VD5943 - Feature-rich 5-megapixel monochrome CMOS image sensor with hybrid shutter

The VB5943 and VD5943 are 5.1 megapixel, 2.25 µm global, and rolling shutter image sensors. They are designed for a wide spectrum of applications that require capturing monochromatic from visible to NIR (near infrared) images. Operation of these sensors combines global and rolling shutter technology with an extended dynamic range.

Leveraging from preeminent 3D stacking and ST patented processes, these sensors perform outstandingly in the NIR (940 nm) and visible region. In global shutter mode, they can capture up to 100 frames per second in a 2560 x 1984 resolution format in global shutter operation.

The VB5943 and VD5943 sensors can be used in rolling shutter mode, taking advantage of low dark noise capability. They can operate in an 18-bit HDR mode compressed down to 12 or 10 bits through a customizable PWL.

For computer vision applications, or night or low light conditions, acquisition can be switched to global shutter mode with an NIR light source. Switching to global shutter mode with an external NIR light source greatly reduces the system power consumption that is required to drive the illumination.

These sensors are also capable of working in split exposure, enabling spatial HDR mode.
