Digital Pixel System Tech

May 01, 2008

Pixim’s Digital Pixel System® technology is a breakthrough imaging system that greatly enhances video and still image capture in a wide range of applications. The Digital Pixel System technology’s extended dynamic range, fast readout speed, system-on-chip integration capabilities and low power operation represent a substantial advance over existing image capture and processing technologies. Solid-state image sensor technology dates back to the invention of the first charge-coupled device (CCD) in the late 1960s. The 1990s saw the introduction of the CMOS active pixel sensor (APS), followed by the development of the Digital Pixel System platform. The invention of the Digital Pixel System technology grew out of more than eight years of research at Stanford University.
