SmartSens Partners with IBM, Granted 14 Family Patents on CMOS

SHANGHAI, July 10, 2018 – SmartSens, a leading supplier of high-performance CMOS image sensors, launched SC031GS – the world&#x27;s first commercial-grade 300,000-pixel Global Shutter CMOS image sensor based on BSI (back-illuminated) pixel technology.SC031GS is the latest addition to the SmartSens SmartGS™ product line and the first CMOS image sensor that combines a back-illuminated (BSI) pixel design with Global Shutter technology to provide superior signal-to-noise ratio, higher sensitivity and greater dynamic range. SC031GS can be applied to a wide range of commercial products, including smart barcode readers, drones, smart modules (Gesture Recognition/vSLAM/Depth Information/Optical Flow) and other image recognition-based artificial intelligence (AI) applications, such as facial recognition and gesture control.  The ground-breaking technology of SC031GS can significantly improve two-dimensional barcode scanning performance in information retrieval and payment applications. SC031GS provides a wider-range, higher-speed and more-accurate recognition technology for smart barcode readers than other similar products, adapting to the rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) and complex situations in real life. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can also benefit from the high response speed, wide dynamic range and low power consumption of SC031GS.SC031GS is developed based on BSI pixel design technology, using 3.75um large pixels (1/6&quot; optical size) to deliver excellent imaging quality in low illumination environments with impeccable sensitivity and signal to noise ratio. In addition, SC031GS uses SmartSens&#x27; unique single-frame HDR technology, combined with a global shutter, to ensure accurate acquisition of image information in complex applications (motion) and lighting scenes.Compared with conventional CMOS Image Sensors using Multiple-Exposure HDR technology, SmartSens’unique single-frame HDR Global Shutter technology is more suitable for image recognition-based AI applications. When combined with DVP/MIPI/LVDS interface, SC031GS can be adapted to various types of SoC platform. The maximum full-frame frame rate of 240fps shortens  image acquisition frame interval while edge computing provides better real-time response capabilities.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap"><img size="5" _root="[object Object]" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1605177234030880226.jpg"/></div>Leo Bai, General Manager of SmartSens&#x27; AI Image Sensors Division, stated: &quot;SmartSens is not only a new force in the global CMOS image sensor market, but also a company that commits to designing and developing products that meet the market needs and reflect industry trends. We partnered with key players in the AI field to integrate AI functions into the product design. SC031GS is such a revolutionary product that is powered by our leading Global Shutter CMOS image sensing technology and designed for trending AI applications.”

SmartSens Technology Co. , Ltd announces the launch of two SmartClarity® series 5MP CMOS Image Sensors, which use the high-resolution back-illuminated(BSI) pixels, the SC5235 and SC5238.SHANGHAI, In February 2018, SmartSens Technology Co. , Ltd, a leading global provider of digital image solutions is launching the SC5235 Image Sensor embedded with BSI technology. It has an 1/2.7&quot; optical format, capable of running 5MP(2608H x 1960V) at 25 frames per second using 2μm BSI pixels.<div class="media-wrap image-wrap align-center" style="text-align:center"><img class="media-wrap image-wrap align-center" src="https://smartsens.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/web/img/1605177417378962503.jpg"/></div>The SC5235 supports the interline HDR image synthetic algorithm that expands dynamic range up to 100dB. This enables the image sensor to capture clear digital images under both bright light and low light conditions, and this allows the images to be more vivid and clear in dark zone as well.With the best-in-class technology in the CMOS Image Sensor, SC5235 can meet the requirements of various kinds of applications. It can be used in security surveillance systems, ip cameras, car digital video recorders, sport cameras and video telephone conference systems. It can also be widely used under the industrial environmental systems with relatively challenging lighting conditions. The SC5235 comes with many advantages, including high sensitivity, a high signal-to-noise ratio and low power consumption, which provide guaranteed performance for imaging quality. The SC5235 can adapt to the temperature range from minus 30 degrees Celsius ~ 85 degrees Celsius to ensure long-term stability under various application environments. SmartSens Technology is also launching the NIR enhanced edition-SC5238. It extends the performance advantage of SC5235 based on the optimization of integrated circuit technology resulting from a breakthrough in NIR technology; as a result, the quantum efficiency in the range of 850nm-940nm has been improved, which has effectively improved the camera&#x27;s sensitivity under low-light conditions. Even under a condition with relatively low light and in the evening, an image can be captured clearly.The new product with the NIR features can reduce demand on LED auxiliary light, and as a result, the effective total system power consumption can be lowered.Moreover, SC5238 can run at a speed of 30 frames per second, keeping the image smooth and stable. It also supports the image format at 4MP 50 frames per second for 16:9 video and makes the effects of a high dynamic range more obvious.
