Melexis unveils unique QVGA resolution time-of-flight sensor with integrated IR bandpass filter

MLX75026 with a fully integrated IR filter improves system stray light performances
September 16, 2021

Tessenderlo, Belgium, 15 September 2021 – Melexis has developed a new version of its time-of-flight 3D camera MLX75026 with a fully integrated infrared bandpass (IRBP) filter. By integrating the IRBP, it is no longer required to include a separate IR filter in the lens or sensor assembly. This solution is unique in the industry. It reduces design complexity and cost, while creating more design choice when sourcing a lens.

Melexis, a global microelectronics engineering company, has introduced the MLX75026 with IRBP, an AEC-Q100 qualified QVGA time-of-flight sensor that further expands the third generation of ToF sensors from Melexis. The integration … Read More → "Melexis unveils unique QVGA resolution time-of-flight sensor with integrated IR bandpass filter"
