Designing in large-format sensors is challenging: Board design and production processes need to be aligned and tuned in every batch to prevent deformation and unstable optical performance, tuning of multiple power rails and analogue voltages with direct impact to image quality as well as managing proprietary high-speed data interfaces (in multiple instances) adds further complexity. As a consequence, large format sensor projects bear high risk of costly design iterations (components) and significant timeline impact.

This is where FRAMOS’ experience with handling large format sensors comes into play. From supporting customers own design-ins to various custom solution projects, FRAMOS gained extensive experience:

Electrical Engineering

Mastering complex power circuitry, with many different voltages, ensuring best image quality in a compact design.

Design for Manufacturability

Implementing special assembling processes to minimize scrap rates, managing the large size, weight, and heat capacity of the sensor in every batch.

Firmware Engineering

Providing the FRAMOS SLVS-EC IP Core and Reference Designs to shorten FW development, handling complex sensor read-out, data combination and high bandwidth demand.
