Micro USA – New Product Development

Micro USA develops products using its extensive technology background for both contract customers and for its own label. Often, the products developed under contract have followed work Micro USA has done to refresh legacy equipment. Client’s impressed with these results have asked Micro USA to develop new products for them using the new technologies brought to bear on the legacy solution.

An example is a recently completed contract for SPAWAR Systems in which Micro USA designed, integrated and modified COTS for shipboard environment to control 5kHz VIASAT MODEMS for UHF SATCOM per (JIT) methodology. These rackmount systems have since been ruggedized, tested and certified for vibrations and shock per MIL-STD-167-1 and MIL-S-901D.

Imaging Products

The products Micro USA develops for its own sales primarily incorporate imaging technologies. Most recently, they have introduced new cameras utilizing a custom CMOS sensor to provide exceptional dynamic range.

Important sensor specifications include:

Active Area	18.2 x 18.2 mm
Number of Pixels	260 x 260
Pixel Size	70 x 70 μm
Read Noise	(rms, at 1fps) <350 electrons
Saturation	4,000,000 electrons
Maximum Data Rate	4 MHz
Conversion Gain	(typ) 0.24 μV/electron

Micro USA builds CameraLink cameras using this sensor in both monochrome and 3-sensor color models with LabVIEW control software.

To support these cameras and others, Micro USA can provide image processing software for applications including image tracking, image formatting, object recognition, defect detection and surface analysis.
