VGA-format digital image sensor SoC for automotive applications

ON Semiconductor's ASX340AT CMOS Image sensor System-on-Chip (SoC) is now stocked by Mouser. The VGA-format digital image sensor for automotive applications captures high-quality colour images at VGA resolution and outputs NTSC or PAL interlaced composite video. The VGA CMOS image sensor features ON Semiconductor's breakthrough low-noise imaging technology. This achieves superior image quality based on signal-to-noise ratio and low-light sensitivity while maintaining the inherent size, cost, low power, and integration advantages of ON Semiconductor's advanced active pixel CMOS process technology. The ASX340AT is a complete camera-on-a-chip. It incorporates sophisticated camera functions on-chip and is programmable through a simple two-wire serial interface or by an attached SPI EEPROM or Flash memory that contains setup information that may be loaded automatically at start-up. The ASX340AT performs sophisticated processing functions including colour recovery, colour correction, sharpening, programmable gamma correction, auto black reference clamping, auto exposure, 50Hz/60Hz flicker detection and avoidance, lens shading correction, auto white balance (AWB), and on-the-fly defect identification and correction.
