CMOS Image Sensors for Industrial and Embedded Vision

From global shutter sensors for high-speed motion capture to SWIR and stacked BSI sensors for advanced imaging applications, we help customers evaluate, select, and integrate the right image sensor for their system.

We provide design services, integration support, and complete vision system development to help you move efficiently from concept to production.

Sensor Technology

Image sensors vary widely depending on architecture, pixel design, and imaging performance. At a high level, they fall into two main categories: CMOS and CCD.

CMOS vs. CCD: What’s the Difference?

Image sensors are defined by the underlying technology used to capture and transmit image data. The two foundational architectures are CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) and CCD (Charge-Coupled Device).

Comparing Sensor Architectures at a Glance

Understand the performance trade-offs between CMOS and CCD sensors to make the right decision for your application.

CMOS sensors have become the standard for most modern imaging applications. CCDs remain relevant for legacy systems and certain high-end scientific applications, and FRAMOS continues to support both.
