High-speed imaging takes a leap forward with SI Sensors’ latest innovation: CCD-in-CMOS technology. This hybrid imaging solution combines the strengths of Charge-Coupled Devices (CCDs) and Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) sensors, delivering unprecedented speed, sensitivity, and efficiency for laboratory applications.
What makes CCD-in-CMOS technology stand out?
Laboratories often face challenges when balancing imaging performance with system cost and complexity. CCD-in-CMOS technology addresses these issues by integrating the charge-domain storage of CCDs with the compact, cost-efficient architecture of CMOS sensors. This breakthrough enables:
- Ultra-fast burst mode imaging at millions of frames per second.
- Superior image quality with high signal-to-noise ratios.
- Reduced system complexity through integrated on-chip circuitry.
- Adaptability to diverse lab applications such as hyperspectral imaging and video analysis.
Benefits for lab managers
- Efficiency: Streamlined data handling with in-situ storage and advanced readout mechanisms.
- Cost-effectiveness: Reduced system costs through compact design.
- Versatility: Adaptable to various laboratory imaging needs, from high-speed recording to advanced spectroscopy.
- Reliability: Exceptional performance ensures accurate and detailed imaging.
“We believe that our ability to create ultra-fast burst mode devices will revolutionise high speed imaging. Capable of recording at millions of frames per second with full resolution, this new generation of CCD-in-CMOS image sensors can provide exceptional capture speed with high signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring clear and detailed images of the fastest observable events,” noted Phil Brown, General Manager of SI Sensors.
Redefining imaging in the lab
