        Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY) and its premium 3D ToF-focused partner, pmd, have jointly launched the IRS2976C time-of-flight (ToF) VGA sensor, a performance-advanced version of the IRS2877C ToF VGA sensor. VGA sensor. The sensor is a new member of the REAL3™ family of products.
 
 
        It features Infineon's new pixel technology, which increases the pixel quantum efficiency to more than 30%, a level hitherto achieved only by backside illumination (BSI) sensors, while maintaining the cost advantage of front-side illumination (FSI) sensors. As a result, the IRS2976C image sensor is the world's first ToF image sensor to receive Google's Level 3 (Enhanced) certification for face recognition and to operate seamlessly under the display of mobile devices. 
        The IRS2976C image sensor supports a wide range of long-range, low-power usage scenarios, with measurement distances up to and beyond 10 meters. Like all other members of the REAL3™ family, each pixel of this image sensor features Surplus's patented background illumination suppression (SBI) technology to provide robust data in high dynamic range (HDR) and daylight scenes. 
        Our unique ToF CMOS process ensures superior sensitivity and robustness in both indoor and outdoor environments," said Christian Herzum, vice president of Infineon Technologies' 3D sensing business. In addition, our IRS2976C 3D ToF image sensor offers powerful features and excellent flexibility to optimize 3D camera system designs. The sensor is ideal for secure authentication in applications such as smartphones, payment terminals, and smart locks, as well as for virtual reality and augmented reality (AR/VR) headsets, service robots, and various IoT devices. 
        The IRS2976C image sensor supports a system VGA resolution of 640 x 480. With a world-leading compact form factor of 23 mm², the image sensor is easily compatible with the previous IRS2877C image sensor and can be upgraded very easily. The ultra-high level of integration allows the sensor to use significantly less material, with a smaller form factor and simpler design. The new IRS2976C image sensor can be used with Infineon's latest VCSEL driver, the IRS9102C, to help developers design smaller, lower cost 3D camera systems.
