Sony Pregius IMX174 – 2.3 MP Color CMOS Sensor for High-Speed Industrial Imaging

The IMX174LQJ-C is a high-speed 2.3 MP color CMOS sensor offering global shutter functionality for precise, high-quality images in industrial environments.

The Sony Pregius IMX174LQJ-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor designed for industrial applications that require fast and accurate capture of moving objects. With a diagonal optical format of 13.4 mm (Type 1/1.2) and a resolution of 2.3 megapixels (1920 x 1200), this sensor delivers sharp, detailed images for a wide range of demanding environments, such as factory automation, machine vision, and robotics.

The IMX174 sensor incorporates global shutter technology, which ensures distortion-free capture by scanning all pixel signals simultaneously. This feature is critical for high-speed applications, as it eliminates the "rolling shutter" effect that can distort images of fast-moving subjects. To achieve this, the sensor utilizes a pixel design with analog memory, enabling it to handle rapid motion with precision.

With a pixel size of 5.86 x 5.86 µm, the IMX174 offers high sensitivity and high saturation, making it capable of capturing detailed images even in challenging lighting conditions. This, combined with the sensor's ability to output 10-bit or 12-bit digital data, ensures excellent image quality for both stills and video.

The sensor supports high-speed imaging at up to 164.5 frames per second (fps) using a 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and up to 128.2 fps with a 12-bit ADC. This high frame rate makes it ideal for real-time monitoring and inspection applications where rapid capture is essential.

The IMX174 features an LVDS 8-channel output, ensuring fast and efficient data transmission, which is crucial for applications where high-speed data processing is required. The sensor’s LGA 118-pin package makes it easy to integrate into various industrial systems, and its robust design ensures reliable performance in harsh environments.
