Sony unveiled HD CMOS image sensor ISX019 built-in SoC

The global CMOS image sensor developer Sony recently unveiled its new product ISX019, the new CMOS image sensor creatively has a processor built-in. It’s the word first CMOS image sensor adopts System on Chin (SoC) architecture. ISX019 is a 1/3.8-inch progressive scan, back-illuminated progressive scan CMOS image sensor featuring high sensitivity and low noise performance. The logic circuit employs advanced engineering, can integrate mass circuit in a tiny size yet achieve low power consumption, moreover, ISX019 supports high dynamic range (HDR) function, by combing Sony exclusive Digital overlap (DoL) technology to achieve super contrast (SC), greatly improve image contrast. ISX019 is designed for applications like car rear camera, car panoramic camera etc.
