Top microcontroller stories of 2017
Here are the microcontroller features that got the most interest from readers in 2017. What is an open drain? Open-collector and -drain devices sink current when controlled to one state and have no current flow (i.e., output a high impedance state) in the other state. It is fairly common to use open-drains (open-collectors) together […]
CMOS image sensor works well in both low and bright-light conditions
ON Semiconductor has introduced a new 1/4-inch, 1.0 Megapixel (Mp) (1280H x 800V) CMOS digital image sensor that captures clean, accurate images with no artifacts in both bright and low light conditions. Its high shutter efficiency and signal-to-noise ratio minimize ghosting and noise effects improving overall image quality. The 3.0 μm pixel AR0144 incorporates an innovative global shutter design that […]
1 Mp CMOS imaging sensors include distortion correction, multi-color overlays, NTSC and Ethernet interfaces
ON Semiconductor announced two new highly integrated 1.0 Megapixel (Mp) CMOS image sensors. The new parts provide a complete solution with the image sensor and processing functionality integrated within a low power system-on-chip (SoC) that simplifies and speeds adoption in applications such as rear and surround view cameras. PCB real estate savings of greater than 30% can be […]
