Sony Starvis IMX226 – 12.4 MP Monochrome CMOS Sensor with Starvis Technology

The Sony IMX226CLJ-C is a high-performance monochrome CMOS sensor that uses Starvis technology for advanced low-light performance. With a diagonal size of 9.33 mm (Type 1/1.7) and a resolution of 12.4 MP (4072 x 3046), this sensor is designed for applications that require high sensitivity and low noise, particularly in the security and surveillance sectors. Its 1.85 µm pixel size and back-illuminated design ensure enhanced light absorption, making it ideal for capturing high-quality images in low-light conditions. The IMX226CLJ-C operates with a rolling shutter and achieves a frame rate of up to 40 fps at full resolution that provides smooth and detailed image capture. The LVDS output enables fast data transmission, and its LGA 128-pin package ensures reliable integration into different imaging systems. This sensor is particularly well-suited for security cameras, industrial vision, and other applications where precise monochrome imaging is required.
