Sony Pregius IMX304 Sensor

Sony Pregius CMOS Global Shutter Exmor, 12.37 MP: This color CMOS sensor offers 12.37 Megapixels with a resolution of 4112 x 3008 pixels. The sensor size is 1.1 inches, each pixel is 3.45 x 3.45 µm, and it captures at a frame rate of 23.3 fps. It features LVDS interface and comes in LGA packaging with 226 pins, suitable for ITS and low-speed machine vision applications.

The Sony IMX304LQR-C is a high-resolution CMOS image sensor designed for industrial and specialized applications such as factory automation (FA) cameras and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). With a large Type 1.1 optical format and an impressive resolution of 12.37 megapixels (4112 x 3008), this sensor delivers superior image quality with precise detail, making it ideal for applications requiring high accuracy and clarity.

The IMX304 features Sony’s Pregius global shutter technology, which ensures distortion-free imaging, even when capturing fast-moving objects. Its 3.45 µm pixel size provides high sensitivity, allowing the sensor to perform well in various lighting conditions, while its low dark current and low parasitic light sensitivity (PLS) contribute to reducing noise and enhancing image clarity. The sensor operates at a frame rate of 23.3 fps, making it particularly suitable for low-speed machine vision tasks and ITS applications that require detailed and accurate image capture.

The IMX304 operates efficiently with a triple power supply system—analog 3.3V, digital 1.2V, and interface 1.8V—which helps maintain low power consumption. This sensor also includes a variable charge-integration time, offering users flexibility in adjusting exposure times to meet specific imaging requirements in industrial and transportation environments.
