In today's continuous innovation of digital imaging technology, OmniVision Group is once again leading the industry trend with its cutting-edge semiconductor solutions. On May 23, 2024, OmniVision announced the launch of a landmark new product, the 9-million-pixel CMOS Global Shutter (GS) Sensor OG09A10. The introduction of this sensor marks a technological leap forward in the field of industrial machine vision and intelligent transportation systems (ITS).
With its 1-inch optical format and large pixel size of 3.45 microns, the OG09A10 sensor is OmniVision's first large-format GS solution for factory automation and intelligent transportation systems. It uses OmniVision's patented PureCel®Plus-S wafer stacking structure, which has been applied to dramatically improve the performance of image sensors, especially in capturing clear images of high-speed moving objects.
In terms of image quality, the OG09A10 sensor boasts low readout noise and extremely high quantum efficiency (QE), which means that it delivers high-quality image output in a wide range of lighting conditions. In addition, OmniVision's Nyxel® Near-Infrared (NIR) technology gives OG09A10 the ability to obtain clear images even in low-light environments, which is critical for machine vision systems that need to operate in a wide range of lighting conditions.

Dynamic range is another important measure of image sensor performance, and OG09A10 excels in this area as well. It supports a shutter efficiency of up to 106dB and a dynamic range of 76dB, combined with Double Conversion Gain (DCG) HDR technology, which reproduces artifact-free, low-noise images even in scenes with complex lighting conditions.
Performance excellence doesn't come at the expense of speed. The OG09A10 sensor is capable of delivering high frame rate output at 12-bit 60 frames per second, thanks to 8x8 Region of Interest (ROI) technology, which enables higher frame rates while reducing data bandwidth requirements.
To further enhance accuracy and flexibility, the OG09A10 also supports an external trigger mode that allows for back-end exposure control. In addition, it supports a 16-channel LVDS interface up to 1.05Gbps, ensuring high speed and stable data transmission.
OG09A10 sensors are packaged with a ceramic shore grid array (CLGA), a packaging technology that helps improve the durability and reliability of the sensor. At present, the color version and monochrome version of the OG09A10 have been sampled, and customers can choose according to their needs.
With the rapid development of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing, there is a growing demand for high-performance image sensors. OmniVision Group's OG09A10 sensors will undoubtedly be an important force in driving this change. According to Yole Group's forecast, the global industrial camera market size will increase from $3.6 billion in 2020 to $5.5 billion in 2026, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.4%. The introduction of OG09A10 sensors will undoubtedly accelerate this growth trend and bring more possibilities for industrial automation and intelligent transportation systems.
With the launch of this revolutionary product, OmniVision Group has once again proven its leadership in the field of digital imaging. The advanced technology and superior performance of OG09A10 sensors will bring unprecedented new opportunities for industrial machine vision and intelligent transportation system applications.
OmniVision Group's OG09A10 sensor is more than just a new product launch, it represents a new era in industrial imaging technology. With the widespread use of this sensor, it is expected to see more efficient and intelligent solutions in areas such as industrial automation and intelligent transportation systems. OmniVision Group will continue to work with industry partners to jointly promote the development of digital imaging technology and bring more innovation and value to the global market.
