Sony Starvis IMX335 – 5.14 MP Color CMOS Sensor

The Sony IMX335LQN-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor from the Sony STARVIS series, designed for surveillance, factory automation (FA), and industrial camera applications. With a diagonal size of 6.52 mm (Type 1/2.8 inch) and 5.14 million effective pixels, this sensor offers excellent image quality in a range of lighting conditions. The IMX335LQN-C leverages Sony’s Exmor R back-illuminated technology, which enhances sensitivity and reduces noise, making it ideal for low-light applications such as nighttime surveillance or industrial monitoring.

This sensor features a resolution of 2616 x 1964 pixels with a pixel size of 2 x 2 μm, delivering high-definition image capture. The IMX335LQN-C utilizes RGB primary color mosaic filters for accurate color reproduction, making it suitable for applications where true-to-life imaging is essential. It operates with an electronic shutter with variable charge-integration time, enabling precise control over exposure and ensuring high-quality image capture even in dynamic lighting conditions. The sensor supports up to 60 frames per second (fps), allowing for real-time, high-speed imaging.

Key features of the IMX335LQN-C include:

• 5.14 MP resolution (2616 x 1964)
• 2 x 2 μm pixel size for high sensitivity and detailed imaging
• Electronic shutter with variable charge-integration time
• High-speed frame rate of 60 fps for real-time imaging
