This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Image Sensors, Camera category on DigiKey.com
Products in the image sensor and camera family are component or module-level devices used to electronically capture visual information in the visible and/or infrared spectrums. Consisting of an array of photosensitive elements connected to a shared control and interface mechanism, available products include those adapted to common still image and video capture as well as more specialized applications such as thermal and spatial imaging.
SelectionCharacteristics
Type: Indicates the technology being used for the sensing.
Pixel Size: Indicates the physical dimensions of the imaging pixel used in the sensor.
Active Pixel Array: The number of horizontal and vertical subdivisions of the usable imaging area; maximum image resolution.
Frames per Second: Indicates the maximum number of full-frame images per second that an image sensor is capable of transferring.
Voltage - Supply: Typically represented by a range, this indicates the low and high voltage limits that one can expect in standard operation. Voltages outside this range may damage the device and other system components.
Package / Case: Indicates the type of protective case used on an electronic component to allow easy handling, installation, and protection. This selection was determined to be the closest industry standard applicable to the supplier device packaging. Typically it is best to check the actual dimensions from the datasheet rather than depend on this terminology when designing your circuit.
Supplier Device Package: This is what the manufacturer calls the package of this device. They are manufacturer specific. It is typically best to use the actual dimensions from the datasheets rather than to go by this terminology when designing your circuit.
Operating Temperature: Recommended operating temperature, typically given in a range or as a maximum. Exceeding these temperatures may affect performance or damage the device and other system components.
