ON Semiconductor Corp (NASDAQ:ONNN)’s shares dwindled -1.07%, and traded at $12.90. The Stock is active as 7.56M shares changed hands versus its average volume of 8.27M shares.
Formerly on February 26, ON Semiconductor Corp. (ONNN), driving energy efficient innovations, has successfully demonstrated its second generation Phase Detect Auto Focus (PDAF) technology featuring a unique pixel micro-lens technology that enables fast focus at 25 Lux light levels. This unique technology has been successfully implemented on a 13 megapixel (MP) test chip with 1.1 micron (µm) pixels and will be utilized in a new product introduction for mobile end-market customers later this year.
Traditional smartphone autofocus (AF) algorithms use a contrast detection measurement and multiple frames to adjust the lens focus. This trial-and-error method can take over 1.2 seconds to find focus in an image. ON Semiconductor’s PDAF technology uses two pixels to measure phase information from the target image. This phase information is then used to calculate the direction and the amount the lens needs to move to focus in less than 0.3 seconds, depending on focus actuator speed. Furthermore, ON Semiconductor has implemented a unique pixel micro-lens structure which maintains sensitivity in the PDAF pixels and ensures enough light is captured for PDAF to perform in low-light conditions as low as 25 Lux (similar to a dimly lit room). Competing technologies on the market employ methods that compromise pixel sensitivity and low light auto focus performance.
ON Semiconductor (ONNN) is driving energy efficient innovations, empowering design engineers to reduce global energy use. The corporation offers a comprehensive portfolio of energy efficient power and signal administration, logic, discrete and custom solutions to assist customers solve their unique design challenges in automotive, communications, computing, consumer, industrial, LED lighting, medical, military/aerospace and power supply applications.
