Page 8: Quantum Efficiency & Read Noise
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. According to our estimation, the QE peak value of ASI715MC is about 80%. - Page 9 Read Noise Read noise contains pixel noise, circuit noise and ADC noise. The lower the read noise is, the better. ASI715MC’s read noise is very low. And with the gain value going high, the read noise goes lower and lower.

Page 10: Analog To Digital Converter (Adc)
3.4 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) ASI715 records in 12bit ADC and 10bit ADC. You can image at a faster frame rate if you use 10bit ADC (high speed mode). You may also set an ROI if you want even faster frame rates. Below are the maximum speeds of ASI715 running at different USB transmission modes. -
