Overview: Line sensor of 2048 ultra- sensitive pixels Super resolution virtual line of 8192 pixels The NSI3000 is a 2048X1 imager chip with virtual resolution of 8192X1, and physical resolution of 2048X8 to be used in Laser Lidar, Barcode readers, AR/VR and Industry 4.0 applications. The chip can be operated in two main modes: highly sensitive camera, and in high resolution mode. The pixel array is posed of two sub-arrays:
• 4 rows of 2048 large pixels of 4x8µm, which can be used as 2048x1 effective array of large pixels of 8x16µm area using analog binning. This sub-array gives excellent sensitivity.
• 4 rows of 2048 4x4µm regular pixels, which can be used as 8192x1 effective high resolution line array of 4x4µm pixels. This sub-array gives high resolution and accuracy.
The chip can be configured in multiple operating modes using a serial interface which can be operated in two modes – simple synchronous serial interface and standard I²C with a 16-bit dedicated protocol. The video stream output is parallel data in 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 bit stream in a dedicated bus which can support up to 80 MHz speed.
