Smartsens 2.7um Pixel Combines Global Shutter with 40% QE @ 940nm

Smartsens unveils a 1.3MP pixel global shutter image sensor SC133GS. The new sensor uses 2.7μm pixels in 1/4" optical format and is aimed to the DMS systems to monitor the driver's driving state and attention to driving safety.

SC133GS is said to have the industry's highest QE for a global shutter sensor @ 940nm light exceeding 40%. The sensor also has a single-shot HDR mode. SC133GS is in mass production now.

      Because the scene is illuminated by a flash LED in order to reduce ambient light influence.

    Is this the same as the AMS 1.3MP sensor? as part of the collaboration between the two companies?

      The AMS sensor had a slightly larger pixel (2.8um) but yes it looks like it is very similar.
