Sony Starvis IMX307 – High-Sensitivity 2.13 MP CMOS Sensor

The Sony IMX307LQD-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor from Sony’s STARVIS series, designed for surveillance, factory automation (FA), and industrial camera applications. With a diagonal size of 6.46 mm (Type 1/2.8 inch) and 2.13 million effective pixels, this sensor delivers excellent image quality in both bright and low-light environments. It utilizes Sony’s Exmor R back-illuminated technology, enhancing sensitivity and reducing noise, making it ideal for low-light applications such as nighttime surveillance or factory inspections.

The IMX307LQD-C has a resolution of 1937 x 1097 pixels, with a pixel size of 2.13 x 2.13 μm, offering high sensitivity and detailed image capture. The sensor operates with a rolling shutter mechanism and supports up to 60 frames per second (fps), ensuring smooth and real-time imaging for applications where fast and accurate image capture is critical. It operates with a triple power supply (analog 2.9 V, digital 1.2 V, and interface 1.8 V), ensuring low power consumption while maintaining high performance.

Key features of the IMX307LQD-C include:

• 2.13 MP resolution (1937 x 1097)
• 2.13 x 2.13 μm pixel size for high sensitivity and detailed imaging
• Rolling shutter for smooth image capture
• High-speed frame rate of 60 fps for real-time imaging
• Exmor R technology for enhanced low-light performance
• Triple power supply (2.9V, 1.2V, 1.8V) for efficient power consumption
• LVDS interface for fast data transmission
