AS1345B-BWLT-AD

Overview

The AS1345B-BWLT-AD is a high-performance, low-power CMOS image sensor designed for mobile and portable applications. It features a 1/2.7-inch optical format with a resolution of 13 megapixels (4208 x 3120). The sensor utilizes backside illumination (BSI) technology to enhance light sensitivity and image quality in low-light conditions. Key electrical parameters include a pixel size of 1.12 μm and a maximum frame rate of 30 frames per second at full resolution. It supports various digital interfaces including MIPI CSI-2 for high-speed data transmission.

Feature Summary

• Backside illumination architecture for improved quantum efficiency
• Integrated on-chip analog-to-digital converters
• Supports multiple exposure modes and dynamic range enhancement
• Low power consumption design optimized for battery-operated devices

Applications

• Smartphone rear cameras
• Tablet device imaging systems
• Action cameras and wearable electronics
• Automotive infotainment camera modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BWLT-AD' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm pinout compatibility and packaging type. Ensure that the ordering code matches the exact revision required for your PCB layout. Cross-reference the RoHS compliance status and lead-free specifications with the latest procurement documentation from authorized distributors.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-resolution imaging with compact form factor is required. Consider the BSI technology benefits for low-light performance compared to front-side illuminated sensors. Evaluate the MIPI interface requirements against your system controller capabilities. Check thermal management needs as high-resolution sensors can generate significant heat during continuous operation.

Part Context

This model belongs to the AS1345 series of CMOS image sensors from ams-OSRAM. The series is engineered for consumer electronics requiring high-quality video and still images. The BSI variant specifically targets applications where space constraints limit lens size, necessitating higher pixel density and sensitivity within a small footprint.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes like the AS1345A or AS1345C if availability is an issue. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 1/2.7-inch format and 13MP resolution. Ensure interface compatibility with existing MIPI CSI-2 controllers before swapping components.
