  Description 
                                                                                                      SMX179WS 
The SMX179 is a diagonal 5.7 mm (Type 1/3.2) CMOS active pixel type image sensor 
with a square pixel array and 8.08M effective pixels. The sensor consists of 
3288*2512 (3280*2464 including effective pixels) active pixels. This chip operates 
with three power supplies: analog 2.7 V, digital 1.2 V and IF 1.8 V, and has low 
power consumption. High sensitivity, low dark current, and NO smear are achieved 
through the adoption of R,G,and B primary color pigment mosaic filters. This chip 
features and electronic shutter with variable charge-storage time.
