Sony Pregius IMX296 – 1.58 MP Color CMOS Sensor

The Sony IMX296LQR-C is a compact and versatile CMOS image sensor, designed for high-precision applications in sensing systems. With a Type 1/2.9 format and a resolution of 1.58 megapixels (1456 x 1088), this sensor delivers exceptional image quality and is optimized for a wide range of industrial applications. Built with Sony's Pregius global shutter technology, the IMX296 provides distortion-free imaging, making it ideal for capturing fast-moving objects in dynamic environments.

The IMX296 features a 3.45 µm pixel size, which offers high sensitivity and low noise performance, ensuring accurate image capture even in low-light conditions. With its low parasitic light sensitivity (PLS) and low dark current, the sensor consistently delivers clear and sharp images across various lighting environments. Operating at a maximum frame rate of 60 fps, the IMX296 balances speed and precision, making it well-suited for real-time sensing applications that require reliable, high-quality image output.

To ensure energy-efficient operation, the IMX296 is powered by a triple power supply system-analog 3.3V, digital 1.2V, and interface 1.8V-keeping power consumption low while maintaining continuous performance in demanding environments. Additionally, the sensor's variable charge-integration time allows for flexible control over exposure, enabling users to optimize image quality for specific applications.
