SmartSens Unveils 8K & 16K High Resolution Linear CMOS Image Sensor for Industrial Line Scan Cameras

Shanghai, China, January 15, 2026 SmartSens Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (SSE STAR MARKET: 688213), a technologically advanced CMOS image sensor supplier, recently announced SC860AT, an 8.3-MegaPixel (MP) CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) of SmartSens Automotive Sensor Series. Developed upon CARSens®-XR Gen 2 platform, SC860AT adopts single pixel architecture, and integrates SmartSens&#x27; advanced technologies including Lofic HDR®2.0 and SFCPixel®. It supports AB-Exposure™ dual-frame exposure control and has significant advantages in high frame rate, high sensitivity, and high dynamic range. Besides, SC860AT is compliant with ISO 26262 ASIL-B and ISO 21434. Therefore, SC860AT can meet the imaging upgrade requirements of automotive front view, side view, rear view, Occupancy Monitoring System (OMS), and Electronic Rearview Mirror cameras.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1779076483102055842.png"/></div> Main featuresAB-Exposure™ dual-frame exposure control function SC860AT supports a high frame rate of 45fps and AB-Exposure™ dual-frame exposure control function. SC860AT can independently set different exposure parameters for frame A and frame B, which helps automotive cameras to output clear and complete high-frame-rate visual images in all-day and all-scene conditions.In AB-Exposure™ dual-frame exposure control mode, frame A can be set to a long fixed exposure time (&gt;10ms), which is used to capture the flickering signals of LED lights such as traffic lights and road signs, ensuring to capture continuous and complete images. Frame B can be set to an automatic exposure time. When encountering with strong-light scenes or moving vehicles and pedestrians, the exposure time is reduced to effectively suppress overexposure and motion blur, thus achieving high-quality images.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap align-center" style="text-align:center"><img size="1" _root="[object Object]" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1779076523135411405.gif" width="916" height="641" style="width:916px;height:641px"/></div>CARSens®-XR Gen 2 platformBuilt on the advanced SmartSens’ CARSens®-XR Gen 2 platform, SC860AT adopts Stacked BSI architecture and Stack MIM capacitor process, which achieves excellent performance such as high dynamic range and low noise, thus effectively improving image quality.
