General Description
The CMV8000 is a high-speed CMOS image sensor developed for machine vision and traffic
applications, with 3360 by 2496 active pixels. The image array consists of 5.5 μm by 5.5 μm pipelined
global shutter pixels, which allow exposure during read-out, while performing CDS operation. The
image data is read out serially through 16 LVDS channels, with 10-bit or 12-bit resolution. The sensor
also integrates a programmable gain amplifier and offset regulation. Each LVDS output channel runs
at 600 Mbps maximum, which results in a frame rate of 103 FPS at full image resolution with 10-bit
color. Higher frame rates are possible when reading out a smaller region of interest or when
subsampling is enabled. These modes are all programmable using the SPI interface. A programmable
on-board sequencer generates all internal exposure and read-out timings. External triggering and
exposure programming is possible. Optical dynamic range can be increased by several on-chip high
dynamic range (HDR) modes.
