Product overview
Description
The VD56G3 and VB56G3 are 1.5-megapixel monochrome CMOS image sensors that deliver exceptional imaging performance in a compact form factor. Built on STMicroelectronics' proprietary technologies, including BSI and full CDTI, they achieve superior QE (quantum efficiency), MTF (modulation transfer function), and angular response for sharp, crystal-clear image capture, even in challenging conditions. With outstanding performance in both visible and near infrared light (850 nm, 940 nm), these sensors are ideal for precision-driven and versatile applications.
Their ultracompact footprint minimizes system size, featuring a small optical format of 4.6 mm (1/4'') at full resolution, enabling the design of compact and ergonomic vision systems. With low-power consumption, they are ideal for battery-powered devices, while their robust design ensures reliable and consistent image quality across a wide range of temperatures.
Smart in-sensor features such as autoexposure, cropping, binning, and programmable sequences simplify development and optimize data throughput. Their MIPI CSI-2 interface (1 or 2 lanes) and I²C control ensures seamless connection to embedded processing platforms.
The sensors offer unmatched flexibility. The VD56G3 is available as a sensor die for ultracompact camera modules, while the VB56G3 comes in an OBGA package for direct PCB integration. They are also part of a sensor family that includes color (RGB) versions VD66GY and VB66GY, and RGB-NIR versions VD16GZ and VB16GZ for even greater flexibility.
Supported by turnkey sensor boards, evaluation modules, and free drivers, the VD56G3 and VB56G3 accelerate development and empower engineers to build innovative, high-performance imaging solutions with ease and confidence.
