iToF sensors for industrial automation and machine vision applications

Mouser Electronics, Inc. now offers the new AF013x Hyperlux ID 1.2MP indirect time of flight (iToF) sensors from onsemi. The devices are matrix sensors designed for 3D imaging of fast-moving objects, including applications in factory automation, drones, computing, metrology, robotics, machine vision, biometrics, future retail, intelligent logistics, and 3D modelling.

The series features real-time iToF sensors, offering high precision, long-distance measurements, and 3D imaging of fast-moving objects using the company's new proprietary global shutter pixel architecture and onboard storage. Featuring a 1/3.2" optical format and on-chip dual laser driver controls, the Hyperlux sensors offer modulation frequencies up to 200MHz, and laser eye-safety thresholds, with back-side illuminated (BSI) CMOS global shutter depth and imaging. The AF0130 iToF image sensor features a depth-processing ASIC stacked below its pixel area, which processes depth, confidence, and intensity maps at high speeds from its laser-modulated exposures. The AF0131 is geared toward designs with off-chip depth calculation.

The sensor can capture an entire scene and simultaneously process depth measurement in real-time, managing the limitations of standard iToF sensors and allowing depth sensing up to 30m or four times further than standard iToF sensors. Also, the AF013x sensor family can produce monochrome (black and white) images and depth information simultaneously, delivering a comprehensive view of the environment without needing separate sensors for visual and depth data.

Mouser also stocks the onsemi AF0130CSSM30SMKAH3-GEVK and AGBENECS-GEVK evaluation boards supporting development of applications based on the AF013x sensors.
