The ams OSRAM Mira016 is a compact 0.16-megapixel CMOS image sensor designed for 2D and 3D consumer and industrial machine vision applications. With a pixel size of 2.79 µm and a backside-illuminated (BSI) architecture, it offers high sensitivity, particularly in near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. This makes the Mira016 suitable for applications such as eye tracking in augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), as well as other vision-based systems requiring low-light performance.
The sensor operates with a MIPI CSI-2 interface, facilitating easy integration with various processors and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). Its small form factor of 1.8 mm x 1.8 mm and low active power consumption of 20 mW at full resolution and 90 frames per second make it ideal for battery-powered devices. The Mira016's high quantum efficiency in the NIR spectrum enhances its measurement range, contributing to overall system power optimization.
In addition to its technical specifications, the Mira016 is part of the broader Mira family of image sensors, which includes models like the Mira050 and Mira220. These sensors share similar features but vary in resolution and sensitivity, catering to a range of applications from consumer electronics to industrial machine vision. The Mira016's combination of compact size, high sensitivity, and low power consumption positions it as a versatile choice for developers seeking efficient imaging solutions.
For developers interested in evaluating the Mira016, ams OSRAM offers the Mira Raspberry Pi Evaluation Kit. This platform, based on the Raspberry Pi 4B, allows users to assess the performance and integration of the Mira product family of image sensors. The evaluation kit provides a practical means to explore the capabilities of the Mira016 in real-world scenarios.
