Product Overview

The IMX547AAQJ-C is a 5.1 MP color CMOS sensor with global shutter, ideal for high-speed industrial imaging.

The Sony IMX547AAQJ-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor designed with Sony’s 4th generation Pregius S global shutter technology. With a diagonal size of 8.8 mm (Type 1/1.8 inch) and 5.10 million effective pixels, this sensor is optimized for industrial applications such as factory automation (FA) and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Its global shutter ensures that all pixels capture light simultaneously, eliminating motion blur and delivering clear, distortion-free images, even in high-speed environments.

The IMX547AAQJ-C offers a resolution of 2472 x 2064 pixels with a pixel size of 2.74 x 2.74 μm, delivering high image clarity and sensitivity. Operating at a frame rate of 122 frames per second (fps), the sensor is well-suited for high-speed applications where fast, accurate image capture is essential. The global shutter technology ensures that fast-moving objects are captured clearly, making this sensor ideal for dynamic environments such as production lines or real-time traffic monitoring.

The sensor operates with a quadruple power supply (analog 3.3 V, 2.9 V, digital 1.1 V, and interface 1.8 V), optimizing its power consumption while maintaining superior imaging performance. High sensitivity and low dark current characteristics enhance the sensor’s performance in low-light conditions, ensuring clear and sharp images even in challenging environments.

Key features of the IMX547AAQJ-C include:

  • 5.10 MP resolution (2472 x 2064)
  • Global shutter for distortion-free image capture
  • Compact 2.74 x 2.74 μm pixel size for high-resolution imaging
  • Frame rate of 122 fps for fast image capture
  • Quadruple power supply (3.3V, 2.9V, 1.1V, 1.8V) for efficient power consumption
  • High sensitivity and low dark current for enhanced image quality in low-light conditions
  • SLVS and SLVS-EC interfaces for reliable, high-speed data transfer
  • LGA 230-pin package for flexible system integration

The IMX547AAQJ-C is particularly well-suited for applications in factory automation (FA) and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). In FA environments, the sensor’s high frame rate and global shutter capabilities make it an ideal choice for monitoring and inspecting fast-moving objects on production lines, improving accuracy and efficiency in automated processes. In ITS applications, the sensor excels in real-time vehicle detection, traffic monitoring, and license plate recognition, delivering sharp, high-quality images even at high speeds.

The sensor’s compact pixel size of 2.74 x 2.74 μm and high sensitivity make it highly effective in low-light environments, enabling detailed and accurate image capture in challenging conditions. The SLVS and SLVS-EC interfaces provide fast and reliable data transmission, ensuring easy integration into high-performance imaging systems. The LGA 230-pin package adds flexibility, making the sensor suitable for space-constrained applications while delivering high-speed, high-resolution performance.

The Sony IMX547AAQJ-C is a powerful and versatile sensor that combines high-speed performance, global shutter technology, and excellent image quality. Whether used in high-speed production lines or real-time traffic management, this sensor delivers the precision, speed, and reliability needed to meet the demands of modern industrial imaging applications.
