2 MP rolling-shutter sensor for surveillance and machine vision
The onsemi AR0230CSSC00SUEA0-DRBR is a 2-megapixel CMOS image sensor with a 1928H x 1088V active pixel array — a 16:9 aspect ratio that matches 1080p video formats without cropping or scaling overhead. It runs at 60 frames per second, which means the sensor can capture fast-moving objects on a production line or in traffic surveillance without motion blur at standard video rates. The 1.7 V supply rail keeps the digital core power low, and the -30°C to 85°C ambient temperature range covers outdoor enclosures in cold climates and unventilated camera housings in direct sunlight.
Pixel architecture and what the 3 µm frame size means for sensitivity
The 3 µm x 3 µm pixel pitch sets the optical format and the light-gathering area per pixel — larger pixels collect more photons per unit time, which directly improves low-light signal-to-noise ratio compared to smaller 1.4 µm or 2 µm pixels found in higher-resolution sensors. For a 1/3-inch optical format lens, the 3 µm pixel gives a reasonable balance between resolution and sensitivity; the sensor can resolve fine detail in well-lit scenes while still producing usable images under 0.1 lux with the right gain stage.
