Applications

The VB1940, VD1940 5.1 MP image sensor is designed for a large FoV (field of view) and incabin monitoring,

including driver monitoring applications. It comprises both full HDR color images and sensitive full resolution NIR

images. This sensor is specifically designed to manage RGB and NIR operations. This is achieved by outputting

RGB bayer color images on one side, and full resolution NIR images on the other side. The VB1940, VD1940

also includes embedded assets that target ASIL-B safety levels. In addition, this sensor contains cybersecurity

features that prevent hacking.

Description

The VB1940, VD1940 is a 5.1 MP image sensor with both rolling and global shutter modes.

In rolling shutter mode, the VB1940, VD1940 produces a single HDR color frame output through the MIPI CSI 2

interface. This is achieved by combining a short and long exposure. In addition, the user can activate a function

that converts the RGB NIR pattern to an RGGB format. Such format is compatible with any standard automotive

ECU (electronic control unit).

In global shutter mode, the RGB pixels upscale the NIR image to full resolution. This innovative use of the NIR

information is achieved thanks to the independent exposition of the NIR and RGB pixels.

The sensor captures up to 60 frames per second in a 2560 x 1984 resolution format. The device is fully

configurable through the I²C serial interface. It also provides flexible frame-to-frame configuration changes via the

use of programmable contexts. Up to four contexts can be sequenced in a versatile loop of up to 32 elements.

The sensor is designed as a SEOOC (safety element out of context). It is compliant with ISO26262 standards and

ASIL-B safety levels.

The VB1940, VD1940 is designed with a full set of cyber security features.
