ON Semiconductor Introduces World's First Highly Expandable Next Generation Automotive Image Sensor Series

HayabusaTM Platform Provides 120 dB Ultra High Dynamic Range (UHDR) and Led Flicker Reduction (LFM) Imaging with 1 MP to 5 MP Pixels to Choose from

0 Promoting Energy-Efficient Innovation and Market Leader in Automotive Image Sensors ON Semiconductor today introduced a new CMOS image sensor platform for automotive applications (such as ADAS, mirror replacement, rearview and rearview systems, and autonomous driving, etc.) Performance and image quality are brought to the next level. The HayabusaTM platform features a breakthrough 3.0-micron back-illuminated pixel design that provides the industry's highest 100,000 electronic charge capacity, plus other key automotive features such as synchronized on-chip high dynamic range (HDR), elimination of LED flicker (LFM) and real-time Functional safety and automotive certification.

Ross Jatou, Vice President and General Manager, Automotive Solutions Division, ON Semiconductor, said: “The Hayabusa range enables automakers to comply with evolving ADAS standards such as the European NCAP 2020, and offers next-generation features such as electronic rearview mirrors and anti-flicker The technology's high-resolution viewing system, which allows the sensor to expand its optical size from 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch, reduces the time and effort for customers to develop multiple automotive platforms, helping to speed time-to-market.

This high-charge-capacity pixel design enables each image sensor in the Hayabusa series to provide super-exposure, providing high-fidelity images of 120dB (dB) HDR and LFM even in the most challenging scenarios. Sacrifice low light sensitivity. The Hayabusa platform's ability to synchronize HDR and LFM is particularly important for improving security, as it ensures that all objects and potential hazards are also identified in extremely dark and bright scenes. As LEDs are widely used in headlights, taillights, and traffic lights, the LFM function of the Hayabusa platform ensures that the pulsed light source will not flicker and distract the driver; or when applied to a front-mounted ADAS system, the machine vision algorithm can also be avoided. Misinterpretation of the scene.

The Hayabusa product family also features real-time functional safety features in accordance with the ISO 26262 standard to alert the system processor when any problems or potential errors occur in the sensor. These features allow the system design to be rated to the Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL-C). The real-time function instantly recognizes errors without waiting for the complete image to be sent to the processor for image analysis. The faster response time allows the system processor to take immediate action to resolve the problem, which is critical for speeds on the highway that are less than 100 feet a second.
