ELFIS2 Image Sensor

ELFIS2 is a sophisticated visible light imaging ASIC designed to deliver superior performance under the extreme conditions typical in space. Known for its radiation hard design, it withstands both total ionizing dose (TID) and single event effects (SEU/SEL), ensuring dependable operation even when exposed to high radiation levels in outer space. This image sensor features HDR (High Dynamic Range) capabilities, which allow it to capture clear, contrast-rich images in environments with varying light intensities, without motion artifacts thanks to its Motion Artifact Free (MAF) technology. Additionally, its global shutter ensures that every pixel is exposed simultaneously, preventing distortion in high-speed imaging applications. Utilizing back-side illumination (BSI), the ELFIS2 achieves superior sensitivity and quantum efficiency, making it an ideal choice for challenging lighting conditions. This combination of advanced features makes the ELFIS2 particularly well-suited for scientific and space-based imaging applications requiring exacting standards.
