CMOS chip modules have their applications in many fields, so with the development of science and technology and society, the application of CMOS chip modules continues to broaden, and it also plays its unique functions in emerging fields.
for image sensors, there are other complications. For one, higher power consumption leads to higher junction temperature of the device, which directly and substantially impacts the image quality because various critical noise sources scale exponentially with temperature. This problem becomes more significant with the trend toward smaller and smaller camera modules, which impairs the heat dissipation behavior. Hence, the mission profile of automotive cameras has shifted to higher temperatures.
In recent years, as the core unit of the hardware system, the chip module has achieved deep penetration and innovation integration in many industries with its high integration, scene adaptation and technical scalability, and has become a key engine to promote the intelligent upgrading of the industry.
The chip module industry is experiencing a dual change of "technology + market", and domestic substitution and global competition are intertwined. In the short term, the cost advantage of mature process and scene innovation are still the main battlefield; In the long run, breakthroughs will be needed in underlying fields such as advanced processes and materials science to meet the needs of next-generation technologies such as AI and quantum computing.
This recent solution couples OMNIVISION’s exclusive image signal processing technology with Seeing Machines’ industry-leading Occula® neural processing unit, providing OEMs a dynamic, cost-effective DMS/OMS solution, while heightening both cybersecurity and power efficiency.
Making the switch from the traditional CCD and converting to CMOS only requires retrofitting the imaging system. Given that many CCD suppliers are exiting the market, the availability of CCD sensors will become scarce over the coming years. The optimal time to make the transition to CMOS is now when there is some availability of legacy CCD image sensors and a full portfolio of medical CMOS image sensors to choose from. The entire tower will not require replacement, whereas the camera control unit and endoscope will need to be swapped out
