234x-CSI

The AR0234CS is a 2.3-megapixel global shutter CMOS sensor that uses a 3.0µm pixel array of 1920 x 1200, giving a 1/2.6″ (6.8mm diagonal) optical format. It outputs 8 or 10 bit RAW through up to four MIPI CSI-2 lanes at 900 Mb/s per lane. Default streaming reaches 120 fps at full resolution, while a 2×2 binned 960 x 600 window delivers 237fps. Best suitable for: bar-code scanners, gesture-recognition devices, 3D scanners, positional tracking systems, iris scanning terminals, augmented reality headsets, virtual reality headsets, biometric sensors, machine-vision cameras, and industrial-inspection equipment.
