On January 15, 2026, Shanghai, China - SITWEI (Shanghai) Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. (stock abbreviation: SITWEI, stock code: 688213) recently announced the launch of the new 8.3MP high-performance automotive grade CMOS image sensor - SC860AT. The SC860AT is built on the new CARSens XR Gen 2 Plus technology platform from STMicroelectronics, featuring a single pixel architecture design and advanced technologies such as Lovic HDR2.0 and SFCPixel. It supports AB ExposureTM dual frame exposure control and has performance advantages such as high frame rate, high sensitivity, and high dynamic range. It can adapt to the new imaging upgrade needs of in car front view, side view, rear view, OMS cameras, and E-Mirror electronic rearview mirrors. In addition, SC860AT complies with ISO 26262 ASIL-B automotive functional safety and ISO 21434 automotive network security standards, providing safe and reliable high-quality visual image support for in vehicle applications.

AB ExposureTM dual frame exposure control, adapted to different image function configuration requirements

SC860AT supports a high frame rate of 45fps and AB ExposureTM dual frame exposure control function. It can flexibly and independently configure different exposure parameters for each dual frame according to the needs of different application scenarios. It can help car cameras output clear and complete high frame rate visual images without dragging in all weather and all scenes, achieving clear recognition of LED road signs such as traffic signals and signs, as well as moving objects such as vehicles and pedestrians.

In AB ExposureTM dual frame exposure control mode, SC860AT can set a longer fixed exposure time of>10ms for frame A, which is used to fully capture the flicker signals of LED light sources such as traffic signals, headlights, and road signs, effectively avoiding problems such as uneven brightness or incomplete display caused by LED flickering, and ensuring continuous and complete image acquisition; B-frame can be set as automatic exposure. When encountering strong light scenes such as building glass reflection, high beam headlights of oncoming vehicles at night, and moving objects such as vehicles and pedestrians, reducing the exposure duration can effectively suppress overexposure and motion ghosting, achieving high frame rate and high-quality images with clear brightness and no ghosting.

CARSens XR Gen 2 Plus platform, creating stable and reliable in car CIS products

As a CMOS image sensor built on the advanced platform of SITWEI CARSens XR Gen 2 Plus process technology, SC860AT adopts the Stacked BSI process architecture and Stack MIM capacitor process. With high process maturity, it can achieve excellent performance such as high dynamic range and low noise, effectively improving image quality.

Moreover, based on the CARSens XR Gen 2 Plus process platform, SC860AT combines high performance with cost advantages, and can meet customers' demand for high-quality in vehicle CIS products and high reliability supply services with a stable and reliable supply chain system.

Comprehensive performance has been comprehensively improved, assisting in the advancement of in car visual imaging

As an 8.3MP high-performance automotive grade CMOS image sensor, the SC860AT performs outstandingly in terms of sensitivity, noise, dynamic range, and other performance aspects. It can bring clear and realistic image effects, helping applications such as front view, side view, rear view, cabin OMS cameras, and E-Mirror electronic rearview mirrors to efficiently detect and recognize target objects such as vehicles outside the cabin, pedestrians and road signs, as well as passengers and items inside the cabin.

Single pixel architecture and Lovic HDR 2.0 technology for clear imaging of light and dark scenes

SC860AT is based on a single pixel architecture and is equipped with patented technologies such as Lovic HDR 2.0 and SFCPixel, which can effectively avoid optical crosstalk and color difference problems caused by large and small pixel architectures. It significantly reduces image noise while improving sensitivity, and can help car cameras capture clear and delicate image information in low light scenes such as nighttime roads and underground parking lots.

In addition, based on the STWE Lovic HDR 2.0+VS four frame HDR technology, the SC860AT can achieve a dynamic range of up to 140dB, capturing high-quality images with clear light and dark details for the camera in complex lighting environments with strong contrast. In Lovic HDR 2.0 mode, the SC860AT achieves high dynamic range and motion free imaging through three frame fusion under a single exposure, further meeting the various imaging function requirements of car camera applications.

LFS advanced technology, clear and flicker free signal light image

The SC860AT is equipped with Skyway's innovative LED flicker suppression (LFS) technology, which can output clear and complete images without flicker interference to the car camera, helping the driver and driving system to make timely and accurate judgments on the status of traffic signals and surrounding vehicle lights.

IBGA packaging empowers high reliability, with multiple packaging forms providing diverse choices

SC860AT adopts an upgraded iBGA packaging form. Compared to traditional CSP packaging, the iBGA packaging of SC860AT is designed based on substrate and solder ball array structure, which has superior thermal stability, electrical performance, mechanical stress resistance, and lower DPPM failure rate, effectively reducing risks such as packaging warpage and solder joint fatigue. With the support of iBGA packaging, image sensors can stably pass multiple rigorous reliability tests such as temperature cycling, mechanical shock, vibration, and lifespan aging. They have stable performance and high product quality throughout their entire lifecycle, providing safe and reliable CIS visual image protection for ADAS applications and further safeguarding driving safety.
