CIS 2521F Data Sheet - Fairchild Imaging

Fairchild Imaging CIS2521F5.5 Megapixel CMOS Image SensorPRODUCT DESCRIPTIONThe Fairchild Imaging CIS2521F is a large format, ultra low-noiseCMOS image sensor intended for scientific and industrialapplications requiring high quality imaging under extremely lowlight conditions. The device features an array of 5 transistor (5T)pixels on a 6.5µm pitch with an active imaging area of 2560(H) x2160(V) pixels. The sensor runs in rolling shutter and global shuttersnapshot readout modes. The sensor has two ADC channels percolumn with one optimized for very low light levels and the otheroptimized for high light levels, allowing high dynamic range datacollection in a single image. The sensor supports userprogrammablerow start/stop control for region of interest (ROI)readout mode. The sensor is housed in a 168-pin ceramic LCCpackage. The CIS2521F delivers extreme low-light sensitivity witha read noise less than 1.5 electrons RMS, Quantum Efficiency(QE) above 52% and very low dark current. These features,combined with 5.5 megapixel resolution and 100 fps imaging rates,makes the CIS2521F an imaging device ideally suited for a varietyof high throughput, low light-level imaging applications.FEATURESBENEFITS2560 (H) x 2160 (V) pixel CMOS Image Sensor 5.5 Megapixels of data6.5 x 6.5 μm 2 pixel pitch Ideal pixel size for maximum light collectionMaximum speed of 100 FPSPrecise capture of dynamic events86 dB intra-scene dynamic range Record intense & faint features simultaneouslyOn-chip column parallel 11-bit A/D convertersDigital sensor for more compact designsDual gain 11-bit output channels per pixelIMAGING SOLUTIONS
