Teledyne e2v, a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies (NYSE: TDY), has introduced Nexora, a new family of backside-illuminated (BSI) global shutter CMOS image sensors aimed at machine vision applications.

The Nexora line is available in 12 MP (4,096 by 3,072) and 16 MP (4,096 by 4,096) resolutions, in both monochrome and color versions. Target applications include high-resolution machine vision, intelligent traffic systems, and outdoor surveillance.

The sensors use Teledyne e2v's BSI pixel technology, which positions the photodiode closer to incoming light to increase light-collection efficiency. The company states the design achieves quantum efficiency of up to 73% at 550 nm and 15% at 940 nm.

Nexora also incorporates a 3D-stacked sensor architecture that combines multiple functions within a multilayer structure. The sensors use an LVDS interface compatible with a range of FPGAs and image signal processors, and are housed in a 23 by 21.5 mm package compatible with 29 by 29 mm² cameras and standard C-mount optics.

Rafael Romay, President of Teledyne Vision Solutions, said: "With Nexora, we focused on giving camera manufacturers a new platform that balances image quality, speed and integration simplicity."

Documentation and samples are available upon request. Teledyne e2v plans to display the Nexora family at the VISION trade show in Stuttgart, Germany, from Oct. 6–8, 2026.
