1MP global-shutter CMOS imager for machine vision and automotive
The onsemi AR0135AT2M00XUEA0-DRBR is a 1-megapixel CMOS image sensor with a 1/3-inch optical format, delivering a 1280H x 960V active pixel array. Its 3.75 µm pixel size balances sensitivity and resolution for applications needing global-shutter capture without motion artifacts.
Pixel architecture and resolution trade-offs
The 3.75 µm pixel pitch gives a reasonable trade-off between low-light sensitivity and die size — expect better quantum efficiency per micron than smaller 2.2 µm or 1.75 µm pixels, at the cost of a larger optical format for the same resolution. At 1280 x 960 (SXGA), the sensor outputs roughly 1.2 million pixels per frame. This resolution suits license-plate recognition, barcode scanning, and object-detection pipelines where 720p is too coarse but 2MP is overkill for the processing budget.
