Automotive 3 μm HDR Image Sensor With LFM and Distance Functionality

White Paper Overview

Flickering LEDs and high dynamic range (HDR) are two main challenges for automotive cameras in road scenarios. Automotive image sensors providing high-performance HDR with light and LED flicker mitigation (LFM) are powering the latest advancements in ADAS and autonomous driving as well as better viewing applications such as surround and rearview, e-mirror, digital video recording, and augmented reality displaying. This white paper presents the design and testing of a 3 μm super-exposure pixel 1.3 MP CMOS image sensor for automotive applications that provides up to 140 dB HDR coverage with multi-exposure and effective HDR with LFM capabilities. Read more about how to implement multiple operation modes to cover complete range of automotive scenarios and address these challenges.
