Inexpensive Image Sensors Challenge CCD Supremacy

Terry Zarnowski, Tom Vogelsong and Jeff Zarnowski, Photon Vision Systems LLC, Cortland, N.Y.

Determining an application's parameters and requirements is important when shopping for an image sensor. The goal is to match the capabilities and limitations of the sensor to the application's price and performance needs. Image sensor parameters include resolution, pixel size, speed, dynamic range, power consumption, read noise, full-well capacity, pixel response nonuniformity, fixed-pattern noise and sensitivity. These trade off with varying effects on imager performance. Manufacturing processes may also allow the integration of many capabilities on a chip, as with complemetary...Read full article
