Micron's New Automotive Sensor

Yahoo: Micron announced MT9V023, 1/3-inch, wide-VGA (752 by 480 pixels) sensor. The sensor features near-infra-red capability and global shutter. Its speed is 60fps at full resolution.

A new context switching feature adds a second register bank, so that two applications with separate imaging needs--like intelligent headlamps and lane departure warning--can operate from a single sensor on alternating frames.

Improved HDR control extends the range of the sensor's knee points to adjust to images containing both brightly lit scenes and relative darkness, such as experienced when exiting a tunnel on a bright, sunny day.

Micron is currently sampling the MT9V023 now, with mass production expected in Q1'2008. Vehicles equipped with this new sensor are expected to hit the roadways in mid-2008.
