Longwave Infrared (LWIR) Camera Module
The FLIR Lepton is an LWIR camera solution that is smaller than a dime,
can fit inside a cell phone, and is ten times less expensive than a traditional
IR camera.
Using a focal plane array (FPA) of 80 × 60 active pixel, Lepton
easily integrates into native mobile-devices and other electronics as an IR
sensor or thermal imager.
ENHANCED IR SENSOR
Greater sensitivity than common thermopile arrays
• Thermal sensitivity <50 mK
• Optional temperature-stable output to support radiometric processing
• Low operating power, 150mW
• Low power standby mode
MICRO THERMAL
IMAGER
Uncooled thermal imaging for small electronics
• Integrated digital thermal image processing
• Multiple lens options: 50° / 25° FOV
• Shutter option available
• Fast time to image (<0.5 seconds)
EASE OF INTEGRATION
Simplifies development and manufacturing
of thermal-enabled devices
• 8.5 x 8.5 x 5.6 mm package
• Export Compliant (<9Hz)
• MIPI and SPI video interfaces
• Uses standard cell phone-compatible power supplies
• Two-wire serial control interface
• 32-pin socket interface to connector
