New IDS XLS cameras - tiny cameras

The smallest board-level cameras in the IDS portfolio, the uEye XLS cameras have very low power consumption and heat generation. They are ideal for embedded applications and device engineering. Sensors are available for monochrome, color, and NIR.

The “S” in the name means “small”, as the series is a compact version of the uEye XLE series. As small as 29 x 29 x 7 mm in size! Each USB3 camera in the series is Vision Standard compliant, has a Micro-B connector, and offers a choice of either C/CS lens mount, S-mount, or no-mount DIY.

Positioned in the low-price portfolio, the XLS cameras are most likely to be adopted by customers requiring high volumes for which basic – but still impressive – functions are sufficient. The XLS launch family of sensors include ON Semi AR0234, ON Semi AR0521, ON Semi AR0522, Sony IMX415, and Sony IMX412. These span a wide range of resolutions, framerates, and frequency responses. Each sensor appears in 3 board-level variants per the last digit in each part number corresponding as follows: 1 = S-mount, 2 = no-mount, 4 = C, CS-mount.

Sensor	Resolution	Framerate	Monochrome	Color	NIR
ON Semi AR0234	1920 x 1200	102 fps	U3-356(1/2/4) XLS-M	U3-356(1/2/4) XLS-C
ON Semi AR0521	2592 x 1944	48 fps	U3- 368(1/2/4) XLS-M	U3- 368(1/2/4) XLS-C
ON Semi AR0522	2592 x 1944	48 fps			U3-368(1/2/4) XLS-NIR
Sony IMX415	3864 x 2176	25 fps	U3-38J(1/2/4) XLS-M	U3-38J(1/2/4) XLS-C
Sony IMX412	4056 x 3040	18 fps		U3-38L(1/2/4) XLS-C

XLS family spans 5 sensors covering a range of requirements
