What happened

OMNIVISION has introduced the OG05D, a 2.2-micron 5-megapixel global shutter CMOS image sensor built for industrial machine vision. ^S1 The company describes it as the industry's first 2.2-micron 5MP global shutter HDR sensor aimed at this segment, with applications spanning barcode scanners, factory automation, compact AI cameras, and humanoid robotics, including data-collection devices used for robotics training. ^S1

In linear mode the OG05D delivers a maximum output of 146 frames per second, which the source states is 143 percent faster than previous-generation sensors. ^S1 The die is 30 percent smaller than the prior generation. ^S1 The design pairs a stacked backside-illuminated pixel array with OMNIVISION's Nyxel near-infrared technology, on-chip RGB-IR processing, dual conversion gain (DCG) for HDR in a single exposure, and a 30 percent power reduction versus the previous-generation 5MP product. ^S1

The package uses a 1/2.5-inch optical format in a 6.6 mm by 5.3 mm footprint. ^S1 Key specifications listed by the source include an HDR-capable pixel described as the industry's smallest above 70 dB, NIR quantum efficiency above 55 percent at 850 nm and above 35 percent at 940 nm, 60 fps single-exposure DCG HDR, 60 fps 3-exposure on-chip HDR combination, and support for RGB, mono, and RGB-IR with on-chip re-mosaic. ^S1 OMNIVISION is described as a global fabless semiconductor organization. ^S1
