Product Summary

The IMX174LLJ-C is a high-speed, 2.3 MP monochrome CMOS global shutter sensor, designed to deliver precise, distortion-free images in high-speed industrial applications.

The Sony Pregius IMX174LLJ-C offers a high-speed global shutter CMOS sensor with 2.3 MP resolution (1920 x 1200). Designed for industrial applications requiring precise imaging of fast-moving subjects, this sensor provides a 13.4 mm (1/1.2 type) optical format with a large 5.86 µm square pixel size. The IMX174 integrates a unique analog memory pixel design to eliminate focal plane distortion, enabling simultaneous pixel readout for highly accurate imaging. The sensor supports LVDS 8-channel output and operates at up to 164.5 fps using a 10-bit ADC, and 128.2 fps at 12-bit resolution, making it ideal for high-speed industrial applications such as factory automation, quality inspection, and motion analysis. Additionally, it delivers high sensitivity, low dark current, and a high saturation capacity, ensuring superior image quality.
