Technical Advantages

  • High-resolution imaging
    640×512 high-resolution detector, 12μm pixel size, provides clear and detailed thermal imaging images to meet professional application requirements.

  • Ultra-high thermal sensitivity
    The thermal sensitivity is less than 35mK, which can detect tiny temperature differences and still provide excellent imaging effects in low temperature difference environments.

  • Quick response
    The response time is less than 12ms, the startup time is less than 3s, and the 50Hz refresh rate ensures a smooth real-time imaging experience.

  • Multiple interface support
    Supports MIPI CSI-2 and LVDS digital interfaces, I2C/SPI control interfaces, and is easy to integrate with various host control platforms.

  • Low power design
    The power consumption is less than 1.2W, and the optimized circuit design prolongs the battery life of the device, making it suitable for portable device applications.

  • Reliable and durable
    Wide temperature range -40°C ~ +70°C, high vibration and shock resistance, MTBF greater than 10,000 hours, ensure long-term stable operation.
