About

REAL3™ 3D image sensors designed for consumer markets

REAL3™ ToF imager solutions are the perfect fit for the smallest 3D vision camera modules, combining accurate depth measurement over the short and longer ranges with the lowest power consumption. The REAL3™ product portfolio for consumer applications comprises dedicated 3D single-chip image sensors with different pixel resolutions and is delivered as bare die. The imagers are highly configurable to meet different application requirements, like supporting HDR modes and dual illuminations (for hybrid ToF use-cases). Thanks to its patented Suppression of Background Illumination (SBI) technology, they support camera deployments under all ambient light conditions.

The BOM-optimized REAL3™ ToF hardware is complemented by a broad network of global design, software, and manufacturing partners providing optimal support, high innovation power, and fast time to market to all REAL3™ customers. You can leverage Infineon’s partner network of module makers and camera design houses for complete ToF camera modules to directly use the 3D point cloud in your application. Please contact our support center for more information.

Embrace the next generation of depth sensing with state-of-the-art ToF 3D image sensors, offering unrivaled performance, immersive experiences, and versatility for a broad spectrum of use cases.

REAL3™ image sensors with highly-optimized VCSEL laser driver

The winning combo: High-resolution REAL3™ ToF 3D  imager and efficient VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) drivers to foster the world's smallest 3D camera modules.
The REAL3™ VCSEL driver ICs have been designed specifically with the Infineon REAL3™ imager portfolio in mind. Together, they enable high-performance 3D camera systems, facilitating ease of integration, a reduced BOM for optimized cost and form factor, and power efficiency gains while providing a fully integrated eye safety solution. Highlights include support for single-, dual-, and triple-junction VCSELs, fast switching behavior up to 250 MHz, and ultra-small packages.
