Overview

The MIRA016 is a compact 0.16 megapixel CMOS image sensor designed for high-speed, low-power machine vision and wearable applications. It features a 400x400 active pixel array utilizing Back Side Illumination (BSI) technology with enhanced Near-Infrared (NIR) sensitivity for performance in diverse lighting conditions.

Why Choose This Part

The sensor offers an extremely high frame rate of 730 fps and dual register contexts for seamless configuration changes during video streaming. Its ultra-compact 1.79mm x 1.79mm WLP package and smart power management features significantly extend battery life in portable designs.

Applications

Eye Tracking
High frame rates up to 730 fps and NIR enhancement make it ideal for low-latency pupil and gaze tracking in AR/VR headsets.
Drones and Robotics
Used for optical flow sensing and obstacle avoidance in small-scale autonomous systems where weight and power are critical.
Smart Home Devices
Enables gesture recognition and presence detection in battery-operated smart locks and appliances.
Industrial Automation
Suitable for high-speed counting and alignment tasks on production lines requiring a small form factor sensor.
