Custom ROIC design used in this image of Saturn from Hubble.

Superior Design for High-speed Megapixel ROICs

We've designed over 100 infrared readout integrated circuit (ROIC) for spectroscopy, infrared ray emission, astronomy, commercial and various military applications.

Our expertise in high speed and megapixel ROICs has allowed us to play a key role in notable projects that require the fastest and highest resolution imaging.

Fastest 128X128 ROIC with a frame rate of 15,000 fps.
ROICs with dynamic range of over 100dB.
2000x2000 pixel astronomy ROIC, which was the largest infrared imager in the world in year 2000.
ROICs used in Hubble Space Telescope as well as a 1024x1024 infrared focal plane for the 2.2-meter Hawaii telescope.
Patent holder for various infrared ROIC applications.

Megapixels Visible Design Capabilities

We've designed more than a dozen megapixels visible imagers for commercial applications with various IP integration and final verification.

First 3-megapixels and 5-megapixels complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor targeted for commercial applications.
Collaborated with TSMC to advance manufacture process for the first CMOS image sensors using 0.25 micron design rules.
Patent holder for offset cancellation scheme for high density pixel array and for techniques for high speed readout.

Medical Visible Design Capabilities

Designed several visible imagers in production for digital microscope slide scanner.
Designing an ultra-low-power visible imager with variable gain amplifier, 10 bit ADC, charge pump, regulators, etc. with <100uW total power consumption.
