It has been announced by ams, that its CMV50000, a high-speed 48MP global shutter CMOS image sensor for demanding machine vision applications, has gone into mass production.

The CMV50000, features a 35mm format 7,920x6,004 array of 4.6µm-sized pixels based on a patented eight-transistor pixel architecture. It operates at 30 frames/s with 12-bit pixel depth at full resolution or a binned 4K and 8K modes, and up to 60 frames/s with pixel sub-sampling at 4K resolution.

The low-noise ams pixel architecture offers electronic shutter efficiency, and the global shutter operation produces distortion-free images of fast-moving objects. The sensor offers 64dB optical dynamic range at full resolution and up to 68dB in binned 4K mode. The image sensor benefits from the implementation of sophisticated new on-chip noise-reduction circuitry such as black-level clamping, enabling it to capture high-quality images in low-light conditions.

The superior imaging performance of the CMV50000 was recognised earlier in 2018 when it was named the Biggest Breakthrough Development at the Image Sensors Europe Awards 2018.

“During recent months, ams has seen great demand for the CMV50000 from design teams developing new automated optical inspection systems and vision systems for testing flat panel displays,” said Wim Wuyts, Marketing Director for Image Sensors at ams. “The CMV50000 is now fully qualified and available to these manufacturers in production volumes. It is also about to be supported by a full demonstration system for evaluating the sensor’s performance.”

Both the monochrome and colour versions of the CMV50000 are available in production volumes now. The per unit pricing is €3,450.
