Product Overview

The IMX265LQR-C is a high-performance 3.19 MP color CMOS sensor, ideal for machine vision, ITS cameras, and barcode scanning applications.

The Sony IMX265LQR-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor designed for demanding industrial applications such as machine vision cameras, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) cameras, and barcode scanner cameras. This Type 1/1.8 sensor provides a resolution of 3.19 megapixels (2064 x 1544), offering detailed image capture with minimal noise thanks to Sony's Pregius global shutter technology. Available in both monochrome and color versions, the IMX265 is well-suited for a wide variety of imaging tasks.

With a pixel size of 3.45 µm, the IMX265 provides high sensitivity and low dark current, ensuring high-quality images even in low-light conditions. The sensor also features a built-in 12-bit A/D converter, enhancing the precision of image capture and delivering superior grayscale and color accuracy. Additionally, its low parasitic light sensitivity (PLS) contributes to the clarity and quality of captured images.

Operating at a frame rate of 55.6 fps in full resolution, the IMX265 is capable of high-speed imaging, making it ideal for applications such as automated inspection, traffic monitoring, and barcode scanning. The sensor also includes a Region of Interest (ROI) mode, which allows users to focus on specific portions of the image for faster processing and more efficient data management, optimizing performance in time-sensitive applications.

  • Resolution: 3.19 MP (2064 x 1544 pixels)
  • Pixel size: 3.45 µm x 3.45 µm
  • Maximum frame rate: 55.6 fps
  • Global shutter for motion distortion-free imaging
  • 12-bit A/D converter for improved image precision
  • Applications: Machine vision, ITS cameras, barcode scanning

The IMX265LQR-C sensor's low power consumption, enabled by its analog 3.3V, digital 1.2V, and interface 1.8V triple power supply configuration, makes it highly efficient for continuous operation. Housed in a 226-pin LGA package with an LVDS interface, the IMX265 is easily integrated into a variety of camera systems. Its combination of high sensitivity, low noise, and advanced imaging features makes it an ideal solution for developers seeking reliable and precise imaging technology for industrial applications.
