The Imaging Source DFM 36CR0234-ML Color FPD-Link III Board Camera

Highlights

The Imaging Source DFM 36CR0234-ML Color FPD-Link III Board Camera is a compact 2.3 MP embedded vision camera built around the onsemi AR0234 CMOS sensor. It captures 1,920 × 1,200 color images at up to 100 fps with 3.0 µm pixels and a global shutter.

Designed for embedded vision systems requiring greater distance between the camera and processor, the DFM 36CR0234-ML uses an FPD-Link III interface with a FAKRA connector. Its compact 30 × 30 × 27.5 mm design also provides hardware trigger and configurable I/O functionality for synchronized machine-vision applications.
