Micron 2nd Generation 1.75um Pixel Flyer

I was shown a flyer of Micron MT9M113 sensor which belongs to the 2nd generation 1.75um pixel family. This is 1.3MP 1/6" SOC integrating sensor with ISP and 68H11 microcontroller and MIPI interface.

Obviously, the most interesting part of the flyer is the 2nd generation 1.75um pixel data. The SNR is specified as >37db (Max), barely higher than 36db of the 1st generation. The DR is >60db for pixel only. Even assuming its full-well is about 7Ke, like the previous generation, 60db number translates to about 7e of noise, more in case of bigger full well.

Either Micron is very conservative when just saying "greater than 60db", or the new generation does not bring the much needed improvement in full well capacity and readout noise, or so it seems.
The flyer is dated by Feb. 1, 2007, that is pretty recent.
