Product Description

This camera is designed to meet high performance and quality requirements while
providing ease of use.

ATMEL manages the entire manufacturing process, from the sensor to the 
camera. The result is a camera that works in 12 bits, with dedicated electronics 
that provide an excellent signal to noise ratio.

The sensitivity of the camera is fairly high even in the near infrared spectrum 
thanks to the 100% aperture pixel.

The programmable settings let the user work at different integration times and 
gains. The external trigger enables synchronization of the camera on an external 
event, while the 3-shot color mode allows very high resolution for color image 
acquisition.

Applications

Performance and reliability of this camera make it well suited for the most demanding
applications such as film and document scanning, semiconductor and PCB inspec-
tion, DNA analysis, metrology or X-ray imaging.
