Monochrome Sensor: Sony IMX462- 1/2.8"(5.57x3.13mm),
Resolution: 2.0mp
Max Frame rate: 152fps / 1920x1080 (8bit)
long time exposure (0.1ms-1000s), high sensitivity: 2376mv with 1/30s
Sony IMX462 Sensitivity
The sensor G Sensitivity of G3M462M is 2376mv with 1/30s. Its spectral sensitivity is shown in Figure 1.The sensitivity is measured with a testing standard lens with CM500S(t = 1.0mm) as an IR-cut filter and image at F8.0. If the image is measured at F5.6, the result could have been 2 times of the current value.
12bit ADC and ROI
The G3M462M has built in 12bit ADC.
It also has 12bit output mode for hardware binning and smaller resolution. The camera also supports hardware ROI, and the smaller the ROI size is, the higher the frame rate is.
Table 2 shows the frame rate of the G3M462M in 12/8bit mode, USB3.0 / USB2.0 data transfer interface at different resolutions:

DDR3 Buffer
G3M462M camera has a 512MB (4Gb) DDR3 buffer, which helps maintain the stability of data transmission, and effectively reduce the amp-glow caused because image data can be temporarily buffered without being sent hastily to the receiver.
Binning
The G3M462M supports digital binning from 1x1 to 8x8 in either stacking or averaging method.
Conversion Gain Switch
G3M462M support HCG、LCG mode switch.
Power System

Amp-glow Reduction Technology
What is amp-glow reduction technology?
Most sensor have amp-glow problem when you do long-time exposure , such as longer than 1s
“amp glow reduction technology” is a hardware modification to reduce the amp-glow of sensor.
The G3M Camera adopts Amp-glow reduction technology
