Luxima Technology
Powering Next-Gen Imaging Solutions

Traditional image sensors flood systems with vast streams of raw data, leaving the heavy lifting to costly field-programmable gate arrays (F-PGAs). But Luxima Technology flips that model by embedding intelligence directly into its high-speed sensors, streamlining data pipelines before they ever reach the backend. This modern approach reduces FPGA requirements, simplifies integration, and lowers system cost.

More than just sensors, Luxima delivers fully integrated imaging solutions for high-performance applications. By combining sensor innovation, companion components, and application-specific optimization, the company presents world-class performance in compact, power-efficient packages that surpass traditional methods.

“We study each application in depth, viewing the entire system to refine elements into an image sensor, delivering more optimized solutions than traditional approaches,” says Lin Ping Ang, Co-Founder and CEO.

Luxima’s portfolio centers on three business models: standard products, semi-custom designs, and fully custom solutions, each serving different customer needs. The standard model offers off-the-shelf high-speed CMOS image sensors for broad applications like machine vision, broadcast cameras, motion analysis, and biomedical imaging.

For greater optimization, the semi-custom model involves close collaboration with customers to enhance imaging performance, cut costs, and simplify integration. These sensors may also be sold to other markets under time-limited or region-specific exclusivity, which helps reduce non-recurring engineering (NRE) fees. Lastly, the company’s fully custom solutions are designed exclusively for a single customer, fine-tuning specific parameters such as sensitivity, noise, pixel size, power, and interfaces to achieve superior, application-specific performance.

Since every level of customization demands efficiency, Luxima’s design cuts out the clutter of multiple parallel channels, making sensor-to-FPGA links faster and cleaner than traditional setups. Beyond speed, the sensors also unlock advanced 3D imaging, giving developers the flexibility to create high- performance, data-rich applications. All of this comes in compact packages that keep power use low and costs under control.

In a notable instance, a customer who was committed to building the fastest 3D imaging system in the world was challenged by conventional methods, which required a complex sensor-to-FPGA interface with many parallel channels. Luxima solved the problem by embedding selective read-out and metadata in the sensor, slashing channel count tenfold. This approach helped the customer boost frame rate and throughput while minimizing cost and complexity, ideal for conveyor scanning, PCB inspection, and dynamic automotive testing.

Stories like this trace back to Luxima’s roots, where its first breakthrough sensor set a new standard for speed and size. The company’s innovation legacy began with a 1.3MP sensor achieving 1,000 fps, which was twice as fast as and far smaller than competing solutions in 2014. Today, that sensor still finds applications in industries as varied as golf analytics and dental imaging. Its latest 9.5MP sensor reaches over 1,300 fps, powering applications from 3D laser line triangulation to broadcast and infrastructure inspection. This shows how a single high-performance sensor can address both traditional and emerging markets.

The same philosophy that drove Luxima’s earliest breakthroughs now powers its efficiency gains. While other fastest data rate sensors consume upwards of 10 watts, the company delivers higher throughput with just half the power consumption or less, enhancing image quality, reliability, and enabling miniaturized designs such as compact automotive cameras for airbag and combustion monitoring. Extending this advantage to specialized domains, the company advances deep UV imaging at 216 nm, achieving nearly 100 gigapixels per second, far surpassing traditional 10MP sensors limited to 100 fps.

By consistently pairing breakthrough performance with practical efficiency, Luxima has redefined what imaging sensors can achieve. In a market often driven by specs alone, the company’s fusion of engineering rigor and application-focused design positions it as a trusted partner for the most demanding innovations.
