Teledyne Technologies’ imaging solutions division, Teledyne e2v, today announced the release of its newest sensor in the Emerald CMOS family. The Emerald 67M is a groundbreaking high-resolution device featuring an ultra-small pixel size with a global shutter, ideal for demanding applications such as automated optical inspection (AOI), microscopy, and surveillance.

Key Specifications

  • Resolution: 8192 x 8192 pixels
  • Pixel Size: 2.5µm – the smallest global shutter pixel on the market
  • Readout Noise: 2.8e- for ultra-low noise performance
  • Quantum Efficiency (QE): 70% for high sensitivity in defect detection and particle identification
  • Optical Format: APS-C (unusual for its resolution class)
  • Output Interface: Up to 72 sub-LVDS outputs
  • Digital Conversion Modes: Supports 8/10/12-bit formats

Sensor Design and Integration

The Emerald 67M is designed with manufacturing in mind. Its compact size (59 x 59mm²) ensures easy integration into camera systems, while its fully aligned optical and package centers streamline assembly processes.

Advanced Application Features

Emerald 67M includes several application-specific enhancements:

  • Region of Interest (ROI): Allows flexible image cropping with support for overlap and independent configurations
  • High Dynamic Range Modes: Improves imaging in challenging lighting conditions
  • Horizontal Sub-sampling: Enables efficient data compression without compromising quality
  • Look-up Table: Adjusts pixel values for specific color or brightness requirements
  • Binning Modes: Combines multiple pixels to enhance signal-to-noise ratios
  • Pixel Defect Correction: Automatically compensates for dead or hot pixels

Industry Impact

Vincent Richard, Marketing Manager at Teledyne e2v, commented: “The introduction of Emerald 67M represents a significant advancement in our sensor portfolio. As the first 8192 x 8192 global shutter sensor capable of high frame rates with comprehensive feature sets, it addresses vibration-related image instability issues common in inspection systems.”
