FW212 is one of the wafer-level package (WLP) microbolometer detectors developed by Guide Infrared. This vanadium oxide (VOx) uncooled infrared detector covers long wavelengths from 8 to 14μm, with a resolution of 256×192 and pixel size at 12μm. It is suitable for entry-level thermal imaging applications.

Guide Infrared has mastered a complete set of technologies for vanadium oxide uncooled infrared detectors, from the design and simulation of readout integrated circuit to the MEMS design, processing, packaging, testing and application. Thanks to wafer-level packaging technology, the WLP infrared detector has simpler manufacturing process, smaller size, lower packaging cost and is more suitable for high-volume and low-cost production.

Due to its miniature size, light weight and low power consumption, FW212 thermal infrared detector is specially designed for applications with low budget. It has been steadily put into volume production and widely used in emerging markets like consumer electronics. The FW212 uncooled infrared detector  can be integrated into various uncooled thermal modules, cores and infrared cameras that require small size, low weight, high performance, low power consumption and low price (SWaP3).
