Product Overview

The IMX412AACK-D is a high-resolution 12.33 MP CMOS sensor designed for applications requiring detailed image capture, such as surveillance and industrial imaging.

The Sony IMX412AACK-D is a highly versatile CMOS stacked image sensor designed for applications requiring high-resolution imaging, such as security cameras, drones, or consumer electronics. With a diagonal size of 7.857 mm (Type 1/2.3 inch) and 12.3 million effective pixels, the sensor delivers superior image quality with sharp details and vibrant color reproduction, thanks to its R, G, and B primary color mosaic filter.

Offering a resolution of 4056 x 3040 pixels, the IMX412AACK-D features a compact pixel size of 1.55 x 1.55 μm, enabling excellent light sensitivity. The sensor employs an electronic shutter with variable charge-integration time, allowing for precise control over exposure in dynamic lighting environments. Operating efficiently with triple power supplies (analog 2.75 V, digital 1.05 V, and 1.8 V for I/O), this sensor achieves low power consumption, making it ideal for energy-sensitive devices like portable or battery-powered equipment.

Key features of the IMX412AACK-D include:

  • 12.33 MP resolution (4056 x 3040)
  • 1.55 x 1.55 μm pixel size for high sensitivity and detailed imaging
  • Electronic shutter with variable charge-integration time
  • High-speed frame rate of 60 fps for smooth video capture
  • Triple power supply (2.75V, 1.05V, 1.8V) for efficient power usage
  • MIPI interface for fast data transmission
  • Compact LGA 92-pin package for flexible system integration

The IMX412AACK-D is particularly well-suited for security cameras, drones, and other high-resolution imaging applications that demand a balance of image quality and energy efficiency. Its compact pixel size enhances light-gathering capabilities, making it ideal for environments with fluctuating lighting conditions. The electronic shutter ensures precise exposure control, which is critical for capturing fast-moving objects or scenes in variable light.

With its MIPI interface, the IMX412AACK-D enables fast and reliable data transmission, making integration into modern imaging systems simple and effective. The sensor’s LGA 92-pin package ensures durability and compatibility with a wide range of designs, providing flexibility for compact or space-constrained devices.

The Sony IMX412AACK-D delivers high-resolution imaging, low power consumption, and reliable performance, making it a powerful solution for a variety of applications, from security and surveillance to consumer electronics and industrial imaging systems.
