AR0237: 2 MP 1/2.7" CMOS Image Sensor

The AR0237 is a 1/2.7-inch CMOS digital image sensor with an active-pixel array of 1928 (H) x 1088 (V). It captures images in either linear or high dynamic range modes with a rolling-shutter readout, and includes sophisticated camera functions such as in-pixel binning, windowing and both video and single frame modes. It is designed for both low light and high dynamic range scene performance, and is programmable through a simple two-wire serial interface. The AR0237 produces extraordinarily clear, sharp digital pictures, and its ability to capture both continuous video and single frames makes it the perfect choice for a wide range of applications, including surveillance and HD video.

Features
  • Superior low-light performance
