Thermal camera solution comes to consumer markets
Designed for next-generation consumer applications, the MI0801 high-performance 4,960 pixels CMOS LWIR camera technology delivers, says the company, a long anticipated solution for mass market in a convenient wafer level vacuum package. The MI0801 uses the company’s patented SenXor architecture to deliver what is claimed to be best-in-class thermal sensitivity at capturing high frame rates for video and thermal images.
Using a 45 micron pixel size, the MI0801 with its 80 x 62 thermal sensor array is offered as the ideal thermal camera solution for high volume consumer markets because of its low power and shutterless operation.
“The MI0801 comes to market at a time when the need for thermal imaging cameras is transitioning from very specialized to mass consumer applications,” says Hasan Gadjali, Co-Founder of MERIDIAN Innovation. “With its best-in-class CMOS patented 45 micron pixel architecture, the MI0801 sets a new benchmark for low-cost mass market thermal cameras. It exceeds customers’ desire for higher resolution (4,960 pixels) thermal imager as compared to currently available 1,024 or less pixels solution.”
The MI0801 captures 4,960 thermal pixel resolution videos at up to 15 frames per second (FPS). It is designed for easy calibration, low power, and shutterless operation. To achieve low cost, MI0801 is not only fabricated in a cost effective, highly available and scalable CMOS process, it utilizes a proprietary wafer level vacuum package.
The MI0801 is available in a 6.7 x 7.2 x 1.1 mm chip scale wafer level vacuum package (CSP). It is currently being sampled and is expected to enter mass production in the third quarter of 2019.
