Nippon Chemi-Con has developed ultra-small/thin ToF (Time of FLight) modules (NCM008-AA).
Nippon Chemi-Con promotes development of products for Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV)/Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR), which expects demand for 3D sensing, and products for the contactless interface market. They have succeeded in developing a module that can be embedded into devices. Products will be manufactured at Chemi-Con Nagaoka Corp. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Nippon Chemi-Con) which resides in Nagaoka, Niigata.
NCM008-AA Overview
NCM008-AA is an ultra-small/thin module that can measure depths based on the concept of embedding into devices. The product can send high-speed measurement results emitted from depth image sensors to device control units through MIPI-CSI2. A light source in the near-infrared wavelength range is used alongside the indirect ToF depth image sensor. This light was developed with a circuit that was evaluated as “Class 1” in the Safety of Laser Products’ “classification of laser products.” The safety of this light is to be confirmed by third parties.
Samples and Mass Production
NCM008-AA started samples in October 2022 and is scheduled to start mass production in March 2023.
