This work describes a first generation 8.3MP 2.1 ?m dual conversion gain (DCG) pixel image sensor developed and released to the market. The sensor has HDR up to 140 dB and cinematographic image quality. Non-bayer color filter arrays improve low light performance significantly for front and surround ADAS cameras. This enables transitioning from level 2 to level 3 AD and fulfilling challenging Euro NCAP requirements.
