AR0234 2.3MP Monochrome GMSL2 Camera

The Armor-234MGS-GMSL2 is a 2.3MP Monochrome gmsl-2 Camera module built on the Onsemi AR0234 global shutter sensor. Every pixel begins and ends its exposure at the same instant. Fast moving objects stay sharp and true to shape with no rolling shutter skew. The sensor carries no color filter array so each 3.0µm pixel gathers the full light signal. This gives clean grayscale images with high contrast and a strong response in the near infrared band for work under IR illumination.

The GMSL2 SerDes interface carries video data, control data and power over a single coaxial cable. The module can sit far from the host processor with no drop in image quality. Paired with the rugged Armor series, camera module suits mobile robots, autonomous vehicles, and drones that face constant motion and vibration. It links to NVIDIA Jetson Orin platforms through a compatible GMSL2 deserializer board.

Core Benefits: 

• Global Shutter Accuracy: Freezes fast motion with no skew or distortion from line-by-line readout. 

• 2.3MP Monochrome Detail: Delivers 1920 x 1200 grayscale output with high contrast for edge and feature detection. 

• Strong Near Infrared Response: Large 3.0µm pixels with no color filter capture usable images under IR lighting. 

• High Frame Rate Capture: Supports up to 120 fps for smooth tracking of fast targets. 

• Long Reach GMSL2 Link: Transfers high speed video over coaxial cable across long distances between the module and the host. 

• Single Cable Design: Video, control and power share one cable to cut wiring effort and installation time. 

• Low Latency Streaming: Direct SerDes transfer keeps delay minimal for real time decisions on moving platforms. 

• Synchronized Multi Camera Setup: Works with multi-port GMSL2 deserializers for stereo and surround view systems. 

• Rugged Armor Build: Designed to withstand vibration and demanding conditions for industrial and outdoor use.
