This ultra-low noise performance delivers outstanding nighttime imaging capabilities, helping smartphone cameras capture clearer, more detailed images in low-light conditions.High Sensitivity and High Color FidelitySCC90XS integrates SmartSens&#x27; Narrow BDTI® (NBDTI®) and Low-n Grid upgraded optical structures achieving high color fidelity and optical sensitivity with a 0.61μm small pixel size. NBDTI® reduces optical crosstalk, enabling smartphone cameras to capture true, accurate color reproduction. At the same time, while ensuring low crosstalk, SCC90XS significantly boosts optical sensitivity through the Low-n Grid optical structure, achieving a peak QE of up to 81%, approximately 10% higher than industry-standard equivalent products. This enables smartphone cameras to capture brighter, clearer images in low-light scenes such as twilight and nighttime.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1787665641075228074.png"/></div>Dual-Mode Fast AutofocusSCC90XS is equipped with SmartSens&#x27; AllPix ADAF® and Sparse PDAF® technologies, supporting two fast autofocus modes: 100% all-pixel autofocus and 6% partial-pixel autofocus. These modes can be flexibly switched under different lighting conditions, achieving high-speed, accurate autofocus that balances focusing speed and power optimization.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1787665749775344309.png"/></div>Series Products with Full-Focal-Length LOFIC HDR® SupportEmbedded with LOFIC HDR® technology, SmartSens has already launched multiple high-performance CMOS image sensor for flagship smartphone applications, including SC5A6XS and SC575XS.
