STMicroelectronics automotive image sensor launch

Overview

STMicroelectronics has introduced the ST SafeSense VD56GA, a 1.1-megapixel infrared image sensor intended for in-cabin driver and occupant monitoring. The sensor utilizes a backside-illuminated pixel design called ‘ST DeepNIR’, which offers 35% higher image sharpness and nearly 60% greater infrared sensitivity than previous generations.

By incorporating embedded image-processing features such as auto-exposure, dark correction, cropping, and mirror inversion, the sensor aims to reduce system complexity and the need for external image processors. This design is intended to help automakers scale monitoring technologies to high-volume, mass-market vehicle platforms by lowering component costs and power consumption.

Manufacturing for the sensor involves front-end production at the company’s facility in Crolles, France, while packaging is conducted in Asia.
