Sony Pregius IMX252 – 3.19 MP Color CMOS Sensor

The IMX252LQR-C is a 3.19 MP color CMOS sensor designed for industrial imaging applications requiring high-speed, high-quality image capture.

The Sony IMX252LQR-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor designed for industrial applications that demand speed and precision. With a diagonal size of 8.9mm (Type 1/1.8) and a global shutter, this sensor captures high-quality images without motion distortion, making it ideal for factory automation (FA) cameras and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) cameras. The IMX252 offers a resolution of 3.19 megapixels (2064 x 1544), with each pixel sized at 3.45 µm, ensuring sharp and detailed imaging.

This sensor's exceptional performance stems from Sony’s Pregius global shutter technology, which ensures low noise, high sensitivity, and excellent low-light capabilities. The IMX252 operates with a variable charge-integration time, allowing for precise control over exposure, and it supports a high frame rate of up to 216 fps, making it suitable for high-speed applications such as machine vision and motion analysis in industrial environments.

The IMX252's triple power supply system—analog 3.3V, digital 1.2V, and interface 1.8V—ensures low power consumption, an important factor for reducing heat generation and increasing efficiency in embedded systems. In addition to its low dark current and low parasitic light sensitivity (PLS), this sensor guarantees stable performance across diverse lighting conditions.
