Product Description

This camera is designed to meet high performance and quality requirements while
providing ease of use.
Atmel manages the entire manufacturing process, from the sensor to the camera.
The result is a camera that operates in 12 bits, with dedicated electronics that
provide an excellent signal to noise ratio.
The programmable settings let the user work at different integration times and
gains. The external trigger allows synchronization of the camera on an external
event while the hardware white balance adjustment avoids subsequent software
processing.
Applications
The performance and reliability of this camera make it well suited for the most
demanding applications such as film and document scanning, semiconductor and
PCB inspection, DNA analysis, metrology or X-ray imaging.
