1.4  Device Overview 
Lepton is an infrared camera system that integrates a fixed-focus lens assembly, an 80x60 or 160x120 long-wave 
infrared (LWIR) microbolometer sensor array, and signal-processing electronics. Some configurations are also 
provided with an integral shutter assembly that is used to automatically optimize image uniformity on a periodic 
basis. Easy to integrate and operate, Lepton is intended for mobile devices as well as any other application 
requiring very small footprint, very low power, and instant-on operation. Lepton can be operated in its default 
mode or configured into other modes through a command and control interface (CCI). 
Figure 1 shows a view of the Lepton with Radiometry camera as standalone and mounted in a socket.
