The supplier of beyond state-of-the-art custom designed CMOS image sensors
Thereby removing the second last (*) stronghold of CCD as compared to CMOS. The purpose of binning is to collect the photo charges of a small kernel of pixels into a single charge packet, reading it out in a single
The combination of Advacam’s advanced capabilities in hybridization of Silicon on Silicon and Caeleste’s CMOS image sensor design know-how for space applications allows ESA to start the project AO/1-9801/19/NL/AR “Development of a Hybrid Visible Image Sensor”. Hybrid image sensor technology
Caeleste remains open and operational. As always, we assure our commitment to our partners, while bound to follow government instructions. We are currently not visiting any customers or trade fairs. All communications continue via email, telephone or video conferencing.
An earlier news item demonstrated ELFIS first “true HDR” movie. Read more on the ESA website about the Technology Development Element activity with LFoundry (Italy) and Airbus (France) and find out about more interesting features of the “European Low Flux Image Sensor”
US patent US10.497.737 entitled “enhanced dynamic range imaging” was granted on Dec 3, 2019. It describes a pixel and methods to reach a very high dynamic range (HDR) by integrating the same photo charge on multiple capacitors synchronously. The concept
Our expertise on low noise readout circuits lead to the collaboration with the Californian med-tech startup Paradromics. Caeleste developed a Read-Out Integrated Circuit system for a neural sensor which has an extremely challenging noise requirement to be able to read
We know what matters for our tests: reliable, precise and reproducible results. When testing sensors, you must adhere to numerous test standards and carry out long-term tests. The LabEvent T/210/70/3 (WeissTechnik) climate chamber allows to cool or heat the environment
At the annual “Space & Scientific CMOS Image Sensors” workhop, Toulouse on November 26th and 27th 2019, Caeleste will present three papers. A fourth paper where Caeleste is co-author is presented by CSEM. The Toulouse workshop is considered as the
Four professors and nine students (under the leadership of prof. Feng) from Tsinghua University (THU) visited Caeleste on 21 August. We had an informal workshop on electronic design research. The TSU students presented work on high-speed SAR ADC, Delta-Sigma modula
