The NovoViz NV04ASC asynchronous photon-driven sensor chip is engineered to meet the demands of applications that require both high sensitivity and elevated frame rates, while maintaining a reduced output bandwidth.
This advanced sensor integrates the advantages of single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) technology—delivering true single-photon resolution and rapid response times—with the efficiency of event-based sensing, resulting in significantly lower data output rates.

Leveraging an innovative sensor architecture, the NV04ASC streams photon events with nanosecond-level timestamp resolution and minimal latency, all over a standard, cost-effective interface. Its design makes it exceptionally well-suited for high dynamic range imaging, low-light environments, depth sensing, obstacle detection, and visual odometry, among other applications. Owing to its novel architecture, the sensor achieves an effective frame rate of up to 100 million single-photon frames per second, offering substantial performance and efficiency advantages over existing solutions in the market. This combination of high speed, sensitivity, and data efficiency positions the NV04ASC as a versatile solution for next-generation imaging challenges across various industries.
