Forza Silicon Corporation announced today the availability of its groundbreaking proprietary FORZ-HD's8482; CMOS imaging technology, which supports frame rates up to 60 fps, proven at
33.2 Mega-pixel resolution, and features 12-bit on-chip ADCs. FORZ-HD's8482; technology is targeted for high resolution, high-speed, high dynamic range digital cameras used in
professional photography or digital cinematography, and in medical, biotech, scientific, satellite and defense industries.
FORZ-HD's8482; is a scalable technology that produces astounding image and video quality, said Dr. Barmak Mansoorian, President of Forza Silicon. The FORZ-HD's8482; advantages over CCD
image sensors include the integration of thousands of column-parallel ADCs on-chip with an LVDS or CML interface, and, of course, lower cost, said Dr. Daniel Van Blerkom, CTO of Forza
Silicon.
FORZ-HD's8482; imaging technology is used in CMOS image sensors fabricated by Forza foundry partner Tower Semiconductor using 0.18 micron process. FORZ-HD's8482; is compatible with CMOS
Image Sensor processes used by Forza foundry partner IBM Microelectronics.
