Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The Anitoa ULS24 is an ultra-low-light CMOS image sensor designed for portable devices in medical, scientific, and industrial applications. It is particularly suited for field portable nucleic-acid-test (NAT) systems using fluorescence or chemiluminescence signaling.

Features
  • Ultra low-light sensitivity with a detection threshold of ~3.0 x 10-6 lux.
  • Low dark current and high signal-to-noise ratio (>13dB at detection threshold).
  • 12-bit ADC with dual gain mode and wide dynamic range (>85dB).
  • Digital interface via Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).
  • Built-in junction temperature sensor.
  • Operates on 3.3V and 1.8V power supply with a maximum power consumption of 30mW.
  • Operating temperature range from -15 ºC to 85 ºC.

Key Parameters
  • Imager size: 4.9mm x 4.8mm; Sensing area: 3.6mm x 3.6mm.
  • Active pixels: 24x24 with a pixel size of 150um x 150um.
  • Integration time: 100us to 100 seconds, software controlled.
  • Responsivity: 135V/lux-sec @550nm in high-gain mode.
  • Dynamic range: >85dB in dual gain mode.
  • Non-linearity error: <0.5% in low gain mode, <0.6% in high gain mode.

ULS24 Solution Kit
The ULS24 Solution Kit includes the ULS24 Sensor IC, an interface board, and software (ULVision) for easy evaluation and PC interfacing via USB.

Applications
  • Biomedical and life science applications such as DNA/RNA quantification, qPCR systems, immunoassays, and fluorescence-guided surgery.
  • Industrial and scientific applications including quantum dot spectrometers and chemical-threat detection instruments.

ULS24-1

ULS24 Product Brief Product overview The Anitoa ULS24 is an ultra-low-light CMOS image sensor. Its low cost, small form factor and high level of integration make it optimally suited for use in a portable device in medical, scientific and industrial applications. An example of such application is a field portable nucleic-acid-test (NAT) system that performs molecular sensing based-on fluorescence or chemiluminescence signaling principles. ULS24 is built on 0.18um CMOS process at a world-leader specialty semiconductor foundry. Pixel array Pixel Ctrlr Figure 1. ULS24 Chip Application Block Diagram Features - Ultra low-light sensitivity.
