OmniVision’s OX08A and OX08B Automotive Image Sensors

The first two members of OmniVision’s new image sensor platform offer the automotive industry’s best imaging clarity and range for ADAS and level 3+ autonomous vehicles. They’re the auto industry’s first sensors with 8.3MP, 140dB HDR and LED flicker mitigation (LFM). The high-resolution OX08A features the automotive industry’s leading HDR, while the pin-compatible OX08B adds a new benchmark in LFM performance, enabled by the sensor’s on-chip HALE (HDR and LFM engine) combination algorithm. This advanced functionality is, in turn, enabled by 3D stacking technology.

Previous sensors forced a choice between maximum HDR or LFM, and in lower resolution. The optimal clarity and range offered by this platform, in combination with integrated ASIL-C features, is vital for front-view automotive applications, such as ADAS and level 3+ autonomous vehicles, where the ability to accurately detect people and objects from far away in all lighting conditions is safety-critical.
