onsemi AR0144CSSM00SUKA0-CRBR

Overview

AR0144CSSM00SUKA0-CRBR from onsemi is a 1.0 MP monochrome CMOS image sensor with global shutter, 1/4-inch optical format, 3.0 µm × 3.0 µm pixel size, 60 fps frame rate, and multi-channel output interface - designed for high-accuracy motion capture in industrial scanning and machine vision systems.

For engineers reviewing the AR0144CSSM00SUKA0-CRBR datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include global shutter efficiency, mono spectral response, ODCSP-69 package compatibility, low dark current, and CRA=0° optical alignment for fixed-focus lens integration.

Technical Context

The AR0144CSSM00SUKA0-CRBR implements a true global shutter pixel architecture enabling simultaneous exposure across all 1280H × 800V pixels, eliminating motion distortion in fast-moving object capture. It supports programmable auto exposure control, row/column skip modes, and pixel binning via a two-wire serial interface.

Its monochrome configuration delivers higher quantum efficiency than RGB variants, with low operational power consumption and high linear full well capacity (≥12 ke⁻) supporting >70 dB dynamic range in both low-light and bright scenes.

FAQ

What is the optical format and pixel size of the AR0144CSSM00SUKA0-CRBR?

The AR0144CSSM00SUKA0-CRBR features a 1/4-inch optical format with 3.0 µm × 3.0 µm square pixels arranged in a 1280H × 800V active array. This configuration delivers optimal balance between resolution, sensitivity, and compact module integration - critical for handheld scanners and drone-mounted vision systems where board area and lens back focal length are constrained. The pixel size directly supports ≥70 dB dynamic range and efficient NIR response in monochrome mode.

Does the AR0144CSSM00SUKA0-CRBR support global shutter operation, and how does it differ from rolling shutter?

Yes, the AR0144CSSM00SUKA0-CRBR implements a true hardware global shutter, exposing all 1.0 MP pixels simultaneously - unlike rolling shutter sensors that scan row-by-row. This eliminates motion-induced skew and wobble, enabling accurate dimensional measurement of fast-moving objects (e.g., parts on conveyors at >2 m/s). The global shutter is integral to the pixel design and requires no external trigger synchronization for distortion-free capture.

What package type and mounting requirements apply to the AR0144CSSM00SUKA0-CRBR?

The AR0144CSSM00SUKA0-CRBR uses an ODCSP-69 package (JEDEC MO-220, outline 570BV) with 0.4 mm ball pitch and no protective film. It requires controlled-environment SMT placement, nitrogen reflow profile per J-STD-020 MSL Level 3, and strict solder mask-defined pads to prevent bridging. The absence of film mandates clean handling and immediate post-reflow inspection to verify bump integrity before underfill or lens attachment.

Can the AR0144CSSM00SUKA0-CRBR be used with standard 1/4-inch lenses, and what is its chief ray angle specification?

Yes, the AR0144CSSM00SUKA0-CRBR is designed for compatibility with off-the-shelf 1/4-inch format lenses, with a specified chief ray angle (CRA) of 0° - meaning incident light must be perpendicular to the sensor surface. This simplifies optical design for fixed-focus modules (e.g., barcode scanners) but requires lens selection with telecentric or near-telecentric characteristics to avoid vignetting and MTF degradation at edges.

What interfaces and control protocols does the AR0144CSSM00SUKA0-CRBR support for system integration?

The AR0144CSSM00SUKA0-CRBR supports parallel multi-channel digital output (8-bit DATA[7:0]) synchronized to HS/VS timing signals and a master pixel clock (CLK), plus a two-wire serial interface (I²C-compatible) for register configuration. It does not support MIPI CSI-2 or SLVS-EC. The parallel interface enables direct connection to FPGA I/O banks with minimal glue logic, while the serial interface allows runtime adjustment of exposure, gain, windowing, and binning modes without interrupting video streaming.
