STAR250: CMOS Image Sensor, 250K Pixel, Radiation Tolerant

The STAR250 sensor is a CMOS active pixel sensor designed for application in optical inter-satellite link beam trackers. The STAR250 is part of broader range of applications including spaceborne systems such as sun sensing and star tracking. It features 512 by 512 pixels on a 25 µm pitch, on chip Fixed Pattern Noise (FPN) correction, a programmable gain amplifier, and a 10-bit ADC. Export restrictions from the European Union require technical information concerning this device to be controlled for customers outside of the EU. The datasheet as well as any appropriate technical documents for this device are available in the Image Sensor Portal, available to customers with an NDA (and, as appropriate, an export license) in place with ON Semiconductor.
