Image sensors
OMNIVISION (Barcelona, Spain) announced
the OX12A10 12-megapixel resolution
CMOS image sensor with
TheiaCel technology. OMNIVISION states
that the sensor improves automotive
safety by providing enhanced resolution
and image quality. The OX12A10 is suitable for high-performance
front machine vision cameras for advanced driver assistance
systems and autonomous driving. OMNIVISION states that the
12MP OX12A10 harnesses the capabilities of next-generation lateral
overflow integration capacitors (LOFIC) and OMNIVISION's
DCG high dynamic range (HDR) technology to eliminate LED
flicker regardless of lighting conditions. OMNIVISION's TheiaCel
solution also achieves a wider dynamic range than earlier automotive
HDR architectures. The OX12A10 is currently available for
sampling and will be in mass production in Q3 2025.

Brake sensing
Melexis (Tessenderlo, Belgium) announced
the MLX90424 for automotive
brake pedal sensing. The unit integrates
two position-sensing ICs and a wake-up
switch all isolated in a single package.
The solution can be powered directly
by 12 volts and handles precise measurements
of linear displacement up to
30 mm (1.18 in). The MLX90424 also offers redundancy through
its dual linear position sensing, while the integrated magnetic
switch allows the implementation of a power-saving mode.
When compared to a current brake pedal module including
separated position sensors and switches, the fully integrated
MLX90424 ensures that both the position sensing and switching
element are placed together at the ideal location.

Magnetic sensors
Mencom (Oakwood, Georgia) introduced
a new line of magnetic sensors
designed to meet the needs of industrial
environments such as automation,
manufacturing and process control,
automotive and aerospace. The
company states that these sensors provide reliable and versatile
solutions for a variety of applications. The sensors are available
in reed and GMR types, are designed for easy installation
using either a clamp or screw system. They operate within a
voltage range of 10 to 100V and 5 to 30V, respectively. The
reed sensors have a maximum load capacity of 10 W DC and a
switching current of up to 400 mA, while the GMR sensors can
switch up to 150 mA and detect field strengths of 2.8 mT.
