Page 3: Product Introduction
Higher image quality, Larger sensor size ASI664MC is a remarkable new planetary CMOS camera. The 1/1.8” Sony IMX664 sensor features a small pixel size of 2.9µm pixel and a high resolution of 2704*1536(4.15MP). In high-speed mode, the frame rate reaches 95fps, while the readout noise remains at a low level, as low as 0.46e! - Page 4 ASI664MC VS ASI662MC ASI664MC can be considered as an iteration of ASI662MC. With the great improvement in sensor size and resolution, it provides a larger FOV and also results in high-quality images containing more details. Model ASI662MC (Entry-level) ASI664MC (Advanced)

Page 8: Quantum Efficiency & Read Noise
3.3 Quantum Efficiency & Read Noise Quantum Efficiency QE curve and read noise are very important parameters to measure the camera's performance. Higher QE and lower read noise are necessary to improve the image signal-to-noise ratio. Relative Response Quantum Efficiency... - Page 9 Read noise contains pixel noise, circuit noise and ADC noise. The lower the read noise is, the better. You may see from the chart below that ASI664MC has very low read noise. It has a built-in HCG mode, which can effectively reduce read noise at high gain and keep the dynamic range at the same level as it does at low gain.
