ON Semiconductor has expanded its range of imaging products with a next-gen 13MP image sensor based on advanced 1.1µm pixel technology. Designed specifically for smartphone camera applications, the AR1335 is claimed to set a new benchmark in sensitivity along with dramatic increases in Quantum Efficiency (QE) and linear full well capacity.

The image sensor can deliver a near digital still camera quality experience with power consumption and footprint that are optimised for mobile devices. Customers will experience realistic low-light images, high-quality zoom and sharp reproduction of scene details. The AR1335 supports 4K UHD at 30fps and Full HD 1080P at 60fps. The high 32° chief ray angle supports low z-height applications.

ON Semiconductor developed its 1.1µm pixel technology for performance smartphone sensors with cutting-edge pixel and colour filter array processing advancements, which has increased the sensitivity by nearly 20% compared to the previous generation. This sensitivity allows for more light to be captured so image quality is significantly improved, especially in low light.

Shung Chieh, Vice President, Consumer Imaging, Image Sensor Group, ON Semiconductor, comments: “The AR1335 image sensor comes from an intersection of engineering innovation and customer focus. Technology improvements, coupled with smart design and optimised production processes, result in a cost effective solution for smartphone manufactures who wish to deliver a full, rich camera experience in their devices.”

The AR1335 is in mass production in die format and has been designed into several smartphone models with availability in leading phones expected by the second quarter of 2015.
