Sony IMX990

The Sony IMX990-AABA-C is a cutting-edge CMOS image sensor designed for applications that require high sensitivity across a broad waveband, from visible to short-wave infrared (SWIR). With a diagonal size of 8.2 mm (Type 1/2) and a resolution of 1.31 megapixels (1296 x 1032), this sensor is ideal for precision imaging tasks such as product sorting, semiconductor inspection, and remote observation.

The IMX990-AABA-C features a global shutter with variable charge-integration time, ensuring accurate and distortion-free capture of fast-moving objects. This global shutter technology is essential in industrial applications where precision and speed are critical. The sensor also supports high-speed image capture at 120 frames per second (fps), making it ideal for real-time inspection and observation tasks.

A key feature of this sensor is its wide waveband sensitivity, ranging from 0.4 µm to 1.7 µm. This allows it to detect both visible and SWIR wavelengths, which makes it highly versatile for tasks such as foreign material detection in production lines or temperature estimation in industrial settings. The ability to see beyond the visible spectrum enhances its utility in specialized applications such as semiconductor inspection and material analysis.

The IMX990-AABA-C also includes thermoelectric cooling (TEC) technology, which helps to reduce dark current and noise, improving overall image quality, particularly in low-light conditions. This feature ensures consistent performance and stability in environments where temperature fluctuations could affect sensor performance.
