14bit ADC and ROI

The ATR3CMOS09000KPA has built in 14bit ADC. It also has 12bit output mode for hardware binning and smaller resolution. The camera also supports hardware ROI, and the smaller the ROI size is, the higher the frame rate is.Table 2 shows the frame rate of the ATR3CMOS09000KPA in 14/8bit mode, USB3.0 / USB2.0 data transfer interface at different resolutions:Table 2 ATR3CMOS09000KPA Frame Rate at Different Resolution/Data Bit/Data Transfer(USB3.0/ USB2.0)

DDR3 Buffer

ATR3CMOS09000KPA camera has a 512MB (4Gb) DDR3 buffer, which helps maintain the stability of data transmission, and effectively reduce the amp-glow caused because image data can be temporarily buffered without being sent hastily to the receiver.

Binning

The ATR3CMOS09000KPA supports digital binning from 1´1 to 8´8 in either stacking or averaging method, and hardware binning from 1´1 to 3´3 in averaging method. Hardware pixel binning is much faster than software binning.

Conversion Gain Switch

ATR3CMOS09000KPA support HCG and LCG mode switch, the Gain ratio is 3.05.

Power and Cooling System for Precise Temperature Regulation

The Camera can be powered by DC12V 3A power source. Please remember that when the power adaptor is plugged in, cooling system and image process system are both powered by DC 12V port, otherwise, image process system is powered by USB port while cooling system is off.The cooling system of ATR3CMOS09000KPA is two-stage Thermoelectric Cooling (TEC) with controllable electric fan assisting heat dissipation.The TEC system is controlled by PID algorithm, which allows the TEC to be precisely regulated towards the target temperature with 0.1°C deviation.The working temperature can be regulated to specific number, and effective temperature drop can be -40°C from ambient temperature. Such efficient cooling system guarantees the stability of ultra-low noise mode and quality of the camera image.

Zero Amp-Glow

ATR3CMOS09000KPA has been carefully designed and is able to achieve zero amp-glow photo shooting. Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the different cameras at 20°C and 5-minute exposure time with and without amp-glow. By comparison, the image captured by ATR3CMOS09000KPA shows zero amp-glow.

The ATR3CMOS body, made from tough, alloy with CNC technique, ensures a heavy duty, workhorse solution. The camera is designed with a high quality IR-CUT or AR to block the IR light or protect the camera sensor. The fan‘s vibration is minimized to the low level to eliminate the vibration caused imaging blur. This design ensures a rugged, robust solution with an increased lifespan when compared to the other industrial camera solutions.
