Visible light communication CMOS image sensor for automotive applications

Abstract

In this project, an image sensor designed to receive modulated light was designed and produced. Earlier, an image sensor consisting of alternating pixel topologies has been produced and tested. However, using a single pixel topology may have its advantages. In this project, a single pixel topology image sensor for visible light communication and image capturing is explored. A PCB to mount and interface the image sensor to an FPGA has been designed. The analysis of the circuits data bandwidth and performance is provided based on simulation results. However, due to a 6- month production delay at AMS, the image sensor has not been delivered, in time for measurements.
