(SSE STAR MARKET: 688213), a technologically-advanced CMOS image sensor supplier, recently announced a new CMOS image sensor of SmartSens Star Light (SL) Series, the 4-MegaPixel (MP) SC485SL. Leveraging SmartSens’ advanced technologies including SmartClarity®-3, Lightbox IR®, and SmartAOV™ 2.0, SC485SL provides superior performance in high sensitivity, high dynamic range, low noise, imaging at high temperatures, low power consumption, etc., which makes it ideal for camera upgrades of intelligent security applications such as AI dark-light full-color cameras. <div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1731054436759650965.png"/></div> Main featuresSmartAOV™ 2.0 technologyAs SmartSens’ first CIS to employ SmartAOV™ 2.0 technology, SC485SL supports Always-On Video (AOV). When a moving target is detected, the sensor is awakened quickly by built-in functions including AEC/AGC/AWB, and captures videos at a frame rate of 30fps. When a moving target is not detected, the sensor captures videos at a low frame rate of 1fps. Therefore, the AOV enables the camera system to capture all-day videos 24/7.Compared with its predecessor, the SmartAOV™ 2.0 technology has the following upgrades:· Enhanced image processing effect: the built-in AWB function of the CIS has been raised to 16x gain, which covers a wider range of the color temperature, thus achieving better image color restoration effects. · Optimized booting time: by decreasing the number of I2C configurations, the image transmission time of CIS is reduced, thereby accelerating its booting process. · Interrupt mode: CIS sends a logic level to the System-On-Chip (SoC) when the booting is completed. This interrupt mode is friendly for SoC, compared with the conventional polling mode (The SoC obtains the CIS’ booting status by reading the register). Low light imagingSC485SL utilizes SmartSens’ advanced technologies including SFCPixel®, Lightbox IR®, and multi-exposure HDR to achieve enhanced imaging performance in low-light or dark environments. SmartSens’ proprietary SFCPixel® technology and the BSI pixel structure equip the new image sensor to achieve growth in sensitivity and Quantum Efficiency (QE).

SmartSens Announces New 13MP High-Performance CMOS Image Sensor for Smartphone Cameras

Shanghai, China, October 24, 2023 SmartSens Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (SSE STAR MARKET: 688213), a technologically-advanced CMOS image sensor supplier, recently announced three new CMOS image sensors of SmartSens Advanced Imaging (AI) Series, the 2-MegaPixel (MP) SC235AI, the 4MP SC435AI, and the 8MP SC835AI. Leveraging SmartSens’ advanced technologies including SmartClarity®-3 and Lightbox IR®, the three BSI image sensors provide superior performance in low light imaging, imaging at high temperatures, low power consumption, etc., which makes them ideal for camera upgrades of AIoT and security applications. <div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img id="" title="" alt="" loop="" autoplay="" controls="" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1699260837627392935.png"/></div>Main features Low light imagingSC235AI, SC435AI, and SC835AI utilize SmartClarity®-3 and Lightbox IR® to achieve enhanced imaging performance in low-light or dark environments. SmartSens’ proprietary SFCPixel® technology and the BSI pixel structure equip the three sensors to achieve growth in sensitivity and Quantum Efficiency (QE). At the 520nm wavelength of visible light, the QE of SC235AI and SC435AI are more than 22% and 28% higher than their predecessors, respectively. In the meantime, Lightbox IR® provides significant improvement in the sensors’ Near-Infrared (NIR) sensitivity via processes including Optical Modulator (OM) and Deep Trench Isolation (DTI), and hence reduced pixel crosstalk. Compared with its predecessor, SC835AI has a 75% jump in QE at the 850nm wavelength, and a 94% surge in QE at the 940nm wavelength, enabling its clear, accurate image capture in low light conditions.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img id="" title="" alt="" loop="" autoplay="" controls="" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1699260836881943833.png"/></div>The three new sensors support 2-exposure staggered HDR mode. SC835AI has a 3dB rise in dynamic range and a 28% fall in Read Noise (RN) when compared with its predecessor, yielding its image output with highlight and shadow details even in strong light/illumination environments. In addition, SmartSens’ upgraded color process brings image outputs with vivid colors. <div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img id="" title="" alt="" loop="" autoplay="" controls="" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1699260836969193167.png"/></div>Imaging at high temperaturesUsing SmartSens’ advanced technologies such as ultra-low noise readout circuit, etc., the three sensors deliver optimized imaging performance at high temperatures. At a temperature of 80°C, SC835AI has significant reductions of 39% in DarkCurrent (DC), 69% in Dark Shading, and 49% in White Pixel (WP) when compared with its predecessor, thereby enabling its high-quality, stable image output in high-temperature environments. <div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img id="" title="" alt="" loop="" autoplay="" controls="" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1699260837175395876.png"/></div>Low power consumptionThe precise control of internal modules equips the three sensors to achieve low power consumption. At a frame rate of 30fps, the power consumption of SC835AI is less than 204mW, which effectively saves power and reduces the heat of the whole camera during all-day operation. “The SC235AI, SC435AI, and SC835AI image sensors, containing two digits ‘35’, are named after SmartSens’ first best-selling security CIS, SC1035,” said Ms. Peiling Zhang, Chief Marketing Officer at SmartSens Technology. “The three new sensors utilize SmartClarity®-3 and Lightbox IR® to achieve superior performance in low light imaging, imaging at high temperatures, low power consumption, etc., which are ideal for camera upgrades of AIoT and security applications. SmartSens is now on a mission to develop more high-performance CIS solutions that end with ‘35AI’, helping to drive the improvement of AIoT and security industry.”<div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img id="" title="" alt="" loop="" autoplay="" controls="" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1699260837219156788.png"/></div>SC235AI, SC435AI, and SC835AI are sampling now and will be mass-produced in Q1 2024.
