Sony Semiconductor Solutions to Release the Industry's First CMOS Image Sensor for Automotive Cameras That Can Simultaneously Process and Output RAW and YUV Images

Contributing to Simplified Systems by Expanding Single-Camera Applications

ATSUGI, Japan, Oct. 4, 2024 -- Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (SSS) today announced the upcoming release of the ISX038 CMOS image sensor for automotive cameras, the industry's first^*1 product that can simultaneously process and output RAW^*2 and YUV^*3 images.

The new sensor product has proprietary ISP^*4 inside and can process and output RAW and YUV images simultaneously. RAW images are required for external environment detection and recognition in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving systems (AD), while the YUV images are provided for infotainment applications such as the drive recorder and augmented reality (AR).

By expanding the applications a single camera can offer, the new product helps simplify automotive camera systems and saves space, cost, and power.
