Product Summary

The IMX264LQR-C is a high-performance 5.07 MP color CMOS sensor, ideal for industrial imaging, machine vision, and traffic monitoring applications.

The Sony IMX264LQR-C is a versatile Type 2/3 CMOS image sensor designed for high-precision industrial applications such as machine vision cameras, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) cameras, and barcode scanner cameras. This sensor offers a resolution of 5.07 megapixels (2464 x 2056) and features global shutter technology for distortion-free imaging of fast-moving objects. Available in both color and monochrome versions, the IMX264 delivers high-quality images suitable for various imaging environments.

One of the IMX264's key advantages is its 3.45 µm pixel size, which provides excellent sensitivity, making it suitable for low-light conditions. Additionally, its low dark current and low parasitic light sensitivity (PLS) ensure minimal noise, resulting in crisp and clear images. The sensor's built-in 12-bit A/D converter enhances image quality by capturing more detailed and accurate data in every frame, allowing for superior color reproduction and grayscale detail.

The IMX264 operates at a maximum frame rate of 35.7 fps in full resolution, making it ideal for high-speed imaging applications. It also supports ROI (Region of Interest) mode, which allows users to focus on specific areas of the image for faster processing and reduced data output, optimizing performance in machine vision systems. With its triple power supply configurationanalog 3.3V, digital 1.2V, and interface 1.8V—the IMX264 ensures low power consumption, enhancing efficiency in continuous operation.

  • Resolution: 5.07 MP (2464 x 2056 pixels)
  • Pixel size: 3.45 µm x 3.45 µm
  • Maximum frame rate: 35.7 fps
  • Global shutter for motion distortion-free imaging
  • 12-bit A/D converter for high-quality image output
  • Applications: Machine vision, ITS cameras, barcode scanning

The IMX264LQR-C is housed in a compact 226-pin LGA package with an LVDS interface, making it easy to integrate into a variety of camera systems. Its combination of high sensitivity, low power consumption, and global shutter functionality makes it an excellent choice for developers looking for precision, speed, and reliability in their industrial imaging systems. Whether it's for high-speed production line monitoring or barcode scanning in logistics, the IMX264 provides a robust and efficient solution.
