AMS is to create a camera 1mm across for space-constrained industrial and consumer designs, intending to add imaging to products such as smart toys and home appliances. Called NanEyeM, the business end is 1 x 1mm has a 100kpixel sensor with a 10bit digital readout. Inside is a multi-element lens, claimed to reduce distortion compared to similar cameras with a single-element lens. According to the firm the modulation transfer function (MTF) is >50% in the corners, distortion is <15% and color aberration is <1Px. Source:Google Images The interface is ‘single-ended interface mode’ (SEIM). “Like a standard SPI (serial peripheral interface), the SEIM channel is easy to implement in any host processor and provides a solution without the need for LVDS deserialisation,” said AMS. “The maximum frame rate over the SEIM interface is 58frame/s at a clock rate of 75MHz.” The interface is configured as a slave, allowing the application to control frame rate, which can ...
