10 hot sensors for automotive

摘要

Designing for automotive applications is getting more challenging with new technologies and features that are driving up the number - and types - of sensors used in vehicles today. Two of the newest, and perhaps the biggest, drivers are autonomous driving and safety systems.Vehicles are packed with a range of sensors that measure things like pressure, temperature, position, speed, humidity, and occupation, along with a growing number of sensors for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and cameras. Here is a selection of 10 sensors (not in any particular order) for a variety of automotive applications that can help point you in the right direction for your next design.Hitting the mark for in-cabin monitoring adoption, the OV9284 1-megapixel global shutter image sensor from Om-niVision Technologies Inc. delivers a small size, low power consumption, and excellent near-infrared (NIR) quantumefficiency (QE). Aimed at new safety regulations for Level 3 semi-autonomous vehicles, in which driver state monitoring (DSM) is used to track the driver's eye gaze, OmniVision claims that the OV9284 offers the industry's best NIR quantum efficiency in a driver-monitoring image sensor - 12% at 940 nm.
