Modified Internal Gate (MIG) Technology in Security and Surveillance Applications

Updated Sep 26, 2012 In security and surveillance applications identifications is often done from a stored video stream. Especially in the low light outdoor applications the signal-to-noise ratio in single video frames is often too low for identification. However, one can look after periods in the stored video stream when the subject remains more or Read the Rest…

Difference between MIG and IG

There is often confusion about how Modified Internal Gate (MIG) technology differentiates from Internal Gate (IG) technology. We prepared a video presentation about the two technologies where we present the challenges found in IG imagers and how MIG imagers overcome them. The video is targeted to technical audience — enjoy!     Please don’t hesitate Read the Rest…

Charge Transfer in Double MIG Pixel

The Non-Destructive Correlated Double Sampling (NDCDS) is enabled by the ability to transfer signal charge continuously between two MIGs. Below is a video which demonstrates how charge can be transferred in a basic double MIG pixel. Both simulation and measurement results are shown. The measurement is taken from a single pixel test structure which don’t Read the Rest…

Image Sensor Simulator

There are multiple low light applications that need or benefit from multiple readouts taken during a long exposure time. With present destructive CDS readout technology, sampling multiple times means that the read noise increases compared to a single exposure image. With Pixpolar’s non-destructive CDS readout it is finally possible to sample as often as needed Read the Rest…
