PYTHON10K: CMOS Image Sensor, Global Shutter, 11.1 MP

The PYTHON 10K is a 11.1 MP (3840 x 2896 pixel) 10-bit CMOS image sensor in 4/3 optical format, supporting up to 175 frame per second readout at full resolution. High sensitivity 4.5 µm pixels support both pipelined and triggered global shutter readout modes. The sensor also supports correlated double sampling (CDS) readout in global shutter mode, reducing noise and increasing dynamic range. The sensor is programmed using a four-wire serial peripheral interface. Black level can be calibrated automatically, or adjusted using a user programmable offset. The sensor also supports readout of up to 32 separate regions of interest (ROI) to increase frame rate. Image data is accessed through 32, 16, 8, or 4 LVDS channels, each running at 720 Mbps, and a separate synchronization channel is provided to facilitate image reconstruction. The PYTHON 10K is packaged in a 355−pin µPGA package and is available in a monochrome, Bayer color, and extended near-infrared (NIR) configurations.
