The VD16GZ is part of the new generation of image sensors developed by STMicroelectronics for professional and consumer vision applications. Leveraging state-of-the-art technologies developed by ST's own foundry, the sensor provides outstanding performance in color and near infrared. With its RGB-NIR pattern, the VD16GZ is perfectly suited for multispectral imaging and for the many applications requiring the simultaneous capture of both color and near infrared images.

• Cutting-edge performance of ST proprietary pixel:
  • BSI structure: Provides superior QE, MTF, and angular response.
  • Full DTI technology: Further increases sensitivity and sharpness.
  • Versatile imaging: Benefits both color and NIR (850 nm, 940 nm) image capture.
  • Reliable supply: Proprietary technology from ST foundry in France, ensures a safe supply.
• Easy integration into your system:
  • Ultracompact die: Centered design to minimize your system size.
  • Small optical format: 4.6 mm (1/4'') at full resolution and 3.7 mm (1/5'') with 1 MP crop.
  • Low-power consumption: Ideal for battery-powered devices.
  • Robust design: Ensures high image quality at various temperatures.
• A complete toolbox of in-sensor features:
  • Stunning images: Achieved with in-sensor AE and various corrections.
  • Data optimization: Multiple features to optimize data size and frame rates such as crop, and programmable sequences.
  • Enhanced controls: 8 GPIOs enabling extra controls such as trigger or LED synchronization.
• Seamless connection to embedded processing platforms:
  • MIPI CSI-2 interface: 1 or 2 lanes enabling direct connection to entry-level cost-effective processing platforms.
  • Turnkey solutions: Start your development immediately with our sensor boards, modules, and drivers for the VD16GZ image sensor.
• The VD16GZ color and near infrared image sensor is also available in monochrome (VD56G3) and color RGB (VD66GY) versions.
