Brigates Announces MCCD Sensors for Security Cameras

Brigates (Chinese name - Rui Kunshan Microelectronics Inc.) announces BG0601 and BG0631 MCCD sensors for PAL-resolution security cameras. MCCD is a CMOS sensor which has CCD-compatible external interface. It be used in place of CCD in security camera, with some modifications: AFE is integrated onto the sensor and HV driver is not needed:

  1. Almost all the CMOS sensors can do this. Why this product is called "high end", is it compared to 352x288 products??

  3. Applied for patents doesn't mean they will be granted, and the previous experience is from US companies (Lucent) or companies who misappropriated technology, so learning by stealing. Remember China requires companies to provide IP to set up shop in their country, which is why Samsung is setting up factories in Vietnam with lots of companies are following them. In the meantime the only "R&D" happening in China is what they are able to steal from others.

    1. Please steal or learn more English at first! Even with your poor English, if you dare discover your ID you will be sued for defamation in any country.

    2. While I feel IP needs more respect in China, I think you need to look at the historical perspective. Starting with the early days of the USA, much manufacturing technology was "stolen" from England. First it starts out by copying and then as things mature, original R&D follows. Japan started as copying the US and then later became a high tech leader. Same thing with South Korea and Samsung. Samsung now is only beginning to do original R&D. I am sure the same thing will happen with China, and Vietnam and perhaps India. Still, I hope MCCD plans to pay royalties whenever patents apply, like when they start to export their products.

      I also expect many people in China will point out that Europe "copied" many ancient Chinese innovations.

  4. Can a CCD work well with such low voltage control? Do you see any potential issue which was not included in the flyer of MCCD? Thanks!

    1. No. this is a simple CMOS sensor by just interpreting the control signals coming from TG of a CCD control interface. In this way, this CMOS sensor can replace CCD+Vertical driver chipset in a CCTV camera. A good strategy to reduce the time to market because all the existing camera signal processing chips can be used.
