New at Mouser: ams OSRAM Mira016 CMOS NIR Image Sensors for Industrial, Robotics and Machine Vision Applications
March 26, 2025—Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest electronic components and industrial automation products, is now shipping the Mira016 CMOS image sensors from ams OSRAM. The Mira016 image sensor is a compact (0.16MP), enhanced near-infrared (NIR), global shutter image sensor designed for 2D and 3D industrial, robotics, consumer wearables and machine vision applications.
The ams OSRAM Mira016 CMOS image sensor, available from Mouser, is a high sensitivity, small pixel size (2.79 µm) sensor featuring state-of-the-art back-illuminated sensor (BSI) technology. Its small 1.8 mm2 size, configurability, and high sensitivity both in visual as well as NIR wavelengths make the Mira016 well suited for many 2D and 3D applications, including eye, head, hand, and environment tracking in augmented reality and virtual reality (AR/VR).
The Mira016 sensor offers a MIPI CSI-2 interface, allowing easy connection with a variety of processors and FPGAs, and its low active power and high sensitivity in near-infrared (NIR), delivers increased measurement range, as well as overall system power consumption optimization, which is key for battery-powered consumer and industrial applications like facial authentication for mobile devices and points of payment.
Programmable registers, context switching, on-chip processing, advanced power and temperature management, and an illumination synchronization trigger make the Mira016 a perfect choice for authentication, 3D sensing, wearables and extended battery-powered applications.
