Micro infrared imager, now in distribution
Lepton is a complete long-wave infrared (LWIR) camera module designed to interface easily into native mobile-device interfaces and other consumer electronics, using a standard SPI video or two-wire I2C serial control interface. Multiple proprietary technologies, including wafer-level detector packaging and micro-optics, are packed into the single, low-power chip which measures 11.8 x 12.7 x 7.2 m, or less, depending on model. It can be integrated as an IR sensor or thermal imager into a variety of applications; it is the first complete micro-thermal camera to offer a 160 x 120 resolution in a package small enough to be integrated into a smartphone or within a machine process. Weighing less than 1 gram, it can be used in competitive scenarios such as motor racing and in drone or UAV applications.
The device can also be integrated into power sensitive applications, such as remote or handheld devices and search-and-rescue equipment, without compromising the design or battery life, with an operating power of 150 mW.
