ON Semiconductor expands portfolio

Imaging technology developer ON Semiconductor has expanded its portfolio of interline transfer electron multiplication CCD (IT-EMCCD) image sensors with options that target not only low-light industrial applications such as medical and scientific imaging, but also commercial and military applications for high-end surveillance.

The new 4-megapixel KAE-04471 uses larger 7.4-micron pixels than those found in existing IT-EMCCD devices, doubling the light-gathering capability of the new device and improving image quality under light-starved conditions. KAE-04471 is pin-and-package compatible with the existing 8-megapixel KAE-08151, allowing camera manufacturers to use existing camera designs to support the new device, the firm said.

In addition, the new KAE-02152 has the same 1,080-pixel resolution and 2/3-inch optical format as the existing KAE‑02150, but it also incorporates a pixel design that increases sensitivity in near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. Both devices are available in packages that incorporate a thermoelectric cooler.

Engineering-grade versions of KAE-04471 are now available, with production versions available in the second quarter of this year. Engineering-grade versions of KAE-02152 in both a standard package as well as a package incorporating an integrated thermoelectric cooler are also available, with production versions of both configurations available in the third quarter of this year.
