Introducing the XIMEA MU003TG-SY-UC: A Compact ToF Sensor for Diverse Applications

Overview of the XIMEA MU003TG-SY-UC

The XIMEA MU003TG-SY-UC is an innovative miniature Time-of-Flight (ToF) camera featuring a 0.3MP Sony IMX556 CMOS sensor. With a resolution of 640 × 480 pixels and a global shutter, this camera is capable of delivering high-quality images at a frame rate of 60 FPS. Its compact dimensions of 26.4 × 26.4 × 28.67 mm and lightweight design (31 grams) make it ideal for applications where space is at a premium, including embedded vision systems, robotics, UAVs, kiosks, and 3D scanning.

Technical Specifications

The MU003TG-SY-UC utilizes a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface via a 14-pin I-PEX Cabline SS connector, facilitating data transfer, power supply, and control. Additionally, it features a separate 10-pin Cabline V connector for synchronization with external VCSEL illumination, although users will need to provide their own illumination source and optical band-pass filter for effective depth sensing.
