AR0237CSSC12SHRA0-DR

AR0237CSSC12SHRA0-DR is a color CMOS image sensor in the AR0237 family from ON Semiconductor (formerly Aptina). It’s designed for embedded vision, robotics, automotive, and surveillance cameras. The device delivers ~1.2 MP color imaging with adjustable exposure and analog gain, plus multiple readout modes (including options for region of interest and binning to optimize frame rate). It typically provides high dynamic range and low-noise performance, and uses a MIPI CSI-2 digital interface for connection to image processors or FPGAs. The trailing suffix (CSSC12SHRA0-DR) encodes packaging, revision, and feature options; exact meanings are defined in the datasheet and product brief. For precise specs (resolution, frame rate, pixel size, timing, power, and packaging), consult the AR0237 datasheet and the supplier’s documents.

Here are the typical features of the AR0237 family variant (AR0237CSSC12SHRA0-DR). Exact details may vary by suffix; please consult the datasheet for this exact part.
