SmartSens Releases Three New CMOS Image Sensors of Its Pro Series for Security Applications

2022-9-15

Shanghai, China, September 15, 2022 SmartSens Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (SSE STAR MARKET: 688213), a technologically-advanced CMOS image sensor supplier, recently announced three CMOS Image Sensors (CISs), SC2336P, SC3336P, and SC4336P, as the latest products of SmartSens Pro Series for security applications. The three new SmartSens Pro Series products offer video solutions, featuring resolution from 2MPs to 4MPs. With SmartSens’ proprietary technologies such as SFCPixel® technology and ultra-low noise readout circuits employed on 12-inch wafers, SC2336P, SC3336P, and SC4336P deliver outstanding performance in full-color night vision outputs, imaging in high-temperature environment, low power consumption and etc., thereby empowering the development of intelligent security video applications.

Main features

Excellent full-color imaging under low-light conditions

SC2336P, SC3336P, and SC4336P achieve enhanced performance in imaging, using SmartSens’ upgraded DSI-2 technology, SmartSens’ proprietary SFCPixel® technology and ultra-low readout circuits. In addition, the sensitivity of SC2336P, SC3336P, and SC4336P is increased via thinned metal layers. Take SC4336P, a CIS with pixel size of 2.0μm, as an example. Compared with its predecessor, SC4336P possesses an 18% reduction in SNR1s and a 25% increase in Normal A Sensitivity. As a result, SC4336P’s low-light imaging performance is equivalent to that of 2.3μm CISs in the industry, including making shadow details clearer and more visible.

With upgraded micro-lenses, color filters and color-processing technology, SC2336P, SC3336P, and SC4336P obtain an increase in chroma, thus delivering image effect equivalent to that produced from BSI. Compared with other CIS products of the same pixel size in the industry, SC4336P possesses a 9% increase in chroma for D65 and a 12% rise in chroma for Normal A, resulting in vivid color video outputs.

Incredible imaging in high-temperature environment

Utilizing upgraded technologies, SC2336P, SC3336P and SC4336P deliver enhanced imaging performance in high-temperature environment. SC4336P, for example, is equipped with shading of below 3e- and Dark Signal Non-Uniformity (DSNU) of less than 0.8e-, which allows it to remove purple fringing, thereby enabling cameras to output high-quality video in high-temperature environment.

Low power consumption

Thanks to their upgraded configuration, SC2336P, SC3336P, and SC4336P are able to control modules of CIS integrated circuits accurately, which leads to low power consumption. For example, SC4336P consumes 22% less power than its predecessor, which enables it to support wireless intelligent security applications.

“In the security industry, artificial intelligence is now driving a revolution which leads to enormous emerging opportunities and needs. SmartSens Technology develops three new CISs of Pro Series for security applications, SC2336P, SC3336P, and SC4336P, by employing SmartSens’ proprietary technologies including the upgraded DSI-2 technology and etc. The introduction of the three new CISs of Pro Series indicates SmartSens’ commitment to R&D, along with its determination of the continuing development of CISs for security applications,” said Mr. James Ouyang, Deputy General Manager at SmartSens Technology. “The three new SmartSens Pro Series CISs, SC2336P, SC3336P, and SC4336P, are equipped with excellent low-light imaging, as well as their enhanced performance in full-color video outputs, imaging in high-temperature environment and low power consumption, which can empower intelligent security industry with premium image quality.”

SC2336P, SC3336P, and SC4336P are expected to be mass-produced in Q4 2022. Samples of SC2336P, SC3336P, and SC4336P are now available. For more information or to request a sample, please contact SmartSens Sales Representatives at cs@smartsenstech.com
