IMX992 and IMX993 SWIR image sensors
Computer iND87540 system-on-chip processor
Sony Semiconductor Solutions (SSS) has announced the upcoming release of the IMX992 short-wavelength infrared (SWIR) image sensor for industrial equipment, which enables imaging with higher resolution using pixel miniaturisation while enhancing imaging performance in low-light environments. These features provide higher-quality imaging in inspection and monitoring applications conducted in darker conditions. The new sensor uses SSS’s Cu-Cu connection to achieve a pixel size of 3.45µm and an effective pixel count of 5.32. It also features an optimised pixel structure for efficient light capture, enabling high-definition imaging across a broad spectrum ranging from the visible to invisible short-wavelength infrared regions (0.4 to 1.7µm). Furthermore, new shooting modes deliver high-quality images with significantly reduced noise in dark environments compared with conventional products. In addition to this product, SSS will also
release the IMX993 with a pixel size of 3.45µm and an effective pixel count of 3.21 megapixels to further expand its SWIR image sensor line-up. These new SWIR image sensors with high pixel counts and high sensitivity will help contribute to the evolution of various industrial instruments.

Emerald Gen2 CMOS sensor family Teledyne e2v has released the Emerald Gen2, its new CMOS image sensor family ideal for a wide range of machine vision uses, outdoor surveillance, and traffic monitoring cameras. Emerald Gen2 is available in 8.9 megapixels (4,096 x 2,160) or 12 megapixels (4,096 x 3,072), in monochrome or colour, and in two speed grades, standard and high. The high- speed models provide high performance for applications that require sharp images at high speeds, such as food sorting, inspection, and intelligent traffic systems. The sensor has
Indie Semiconductor has expanded its automotive camera video processor portfolio with the commercial release of iND87540, a system-on-chip (SoC) that enables improved viewing and sensing capability. Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) demand a ‘distributed intelligence’ architectural approach to vision sensing, and high levels of integration coupled with low power consumption to meet the needs of mass market deployments. Integrating real-time, on-chip image signal processing (ISP), digital signal processing (DSP) and customised hardware, the iND87540 enables viewing and sensing capabilities within the stringent power, latency and compact form factor needed for scalable vision architectures. The SoC provides computer vision processing that can run a range of algorithms, enabling ADAS functions including pedestrian detection, object detection, blind spot detection, cross-traffic alerts as well as driver and occupant monitoring (DMS/OMS). Indie complements this SoC hardware with embedded algorithms such as auto calibration
(AutoCal) and dirty lens detection. The iND87540 has been developed to ISO 26262 ASIL-B requirements, is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified and hosts the AutoSAR software stack. The SoC is available now for vehicle integration and is currently in advanced development with select tier 1 customers.

Dart-MX95 SoM processor Variscite, a system-on-module (SoM) developer, is to launch the Dart-MX95 for high-performance edge applications includ- ing industrial, medical, aviation, IoT, robotics, vision-capable and smart edge devices. Designed for high-end scalable comput-
ing, Dart-MX95 is based on NXP’s
i.MX 95 application processor family. This energy flex architecture includes multiple heterogeneous processing domains with up to six cores, 2.0 GHz Arm Cortex-A55, two independent real-time co-processors for safety/low-power, and real-time use consisting of 250MHz Arm Cortex-M7 and 800MHz Arm Cortex-M33.
The platform presents a 2D/3D graphics accelerator powered by Arm Mali, advanced multimedia, integrated NPU accelerator and ISP, high safety and security capabilities that meet the ASIL-B and SIL2 compliances, and a rich high-speed connectivity set. The new system is part of Variscite’s Dart Pin2Pin family that enables compatibility with modules based on the
i.MX 8M/8M Plus/8M Mini. Variscite says the Pin2Pin family provides an extended lifespan, with reduced development time, costs, and risks. Variscite’s SoM and related evaluation kits will be launched with NXP’s release of the
i.MX 95 silicon.

a 2.8µm global shutter pixel, designed with Teledyne e2v’s latest generation light pipe technology, which provides up to 67dB dynamic range in 10-bit and 12-bit ADC mode. This allows cameras to work in high-contrast scenes without any exposure issues in the images. This new generation has several improved
features compared with the original Emerald family. Its matrix is centred in a compact 21x20mm ceramic land grid array (CLGA) package, which fits one-inch optical formats for easier and more cost-effective integration. It has two output types, LVDS and MIPI CSI 2,

giving camera manufacturers the option to use either interface
depending on customers’ requirements. It also offers excellent low-noise performance with less than 3e- readout noise and increased sensitivity and angular response with dual-light pipe technology.
