KAI-50140: Interline Transfer CCD Image Sensor, 50.1 MP

The KAI-50140 image sensor is a 50 megapixel Interline Transfer CCD in the 2:1 aspect ratio commonly found in the displays of modern smartphones. Leveraging a 4.5 µm pixel design that provides a 70% resolution increase compared to the KAI-29050 and KAI-29052 devices, the KAI-50140 provides excellent image uniformity and broad dynamic range. A flexible output architecture supports 1, 2, or 4 outputs for full resolution readout of up to 4 frames per second, and a true electronic shutter enables image capture without motion artifacts across a broad range of exposure times.

In addition to standard monochrome and Bayer Color configurations, the sensor is available in a Sparse CFA configuration which provides a 2x improvement in light sensitivity compared to the standard Bayer Color part. The sensor shares the same package as the KAI-29050 and KAI-29052 image sensors, simplifying camera design.
