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.
