Product Summary

The IMX307LQD-C is a high-sensitivity 2.13 MP CMOS sensor designed for surveillance and industrial imaging applications, offering excellent low-light performance and low power consumption.

The Sony IMX307LQD-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor from Sony’s STARVIS series, designed for surveillance, factory automation (FA), and industrial camera applications. With a diagonal size of 6.46 mm (Type 1/2.8 inch) and 2.13 million effective pixels, this sensor delivers excellent image quality in both bright and low-light environments. It utilizes Sony’s Exmor R back-illuminated technology, enhancing sensitivity and reducing noise, making it ideal for low-light applications such as nighttime surveillance or factory inspections.

The IMX307LQD-C has a resolution of 1937 x 1097 pixels, with a pixel size of 2.13 x 2.13 μm, offering high sensitivity and detailed image capture. The sensor operates with a rolling shutter mechanism and supports up to 60 frames per second (fps), ensuring smooth and real-time imaging for applications where fast and accurate image capture is critical. It operates with a triple power supply (analog 2.9 V, digital 1.2 V, and interface 1.8 V), ensuring low power consumption while maintaining high performance.

Key features of the IMX307LQD-C include:

  • 2.13 MP resolution (1937 x 1097)
  • 2.13 x 2.13 μm pixel size for high sensitivity and detailed imaging
  • Rolling shutter for smooth image capture
  • High-speed frame rate of 60 fps for real-time imaging
  • Exmor R technology for enhanced low-light performance
  • Triple power supply (2.9V, 1.2V, 1.8V) for efficient power consumption
  • LVDS interface for fast data transmission
  • BGA 112-pin package for reliable system integration

The IMX307LQD-C is particularly well-suited for surveillance cameras, factory automation, and industrial cameras. Its high sensitivity and low-light performance make it ideal for capturing clear, detailed images in dim environments, such as nighttime surveillance or poorly lit industrial areas. The rolling shutter mechanism allows for smooth video capture, while the high frame rate ensures real-time imaging, making it perfect for monitoring fast-moving objects in industrial or security settings.

With its compact 2.13 x 2.13 μm pixel size, the IMX307LQD-C offers excellent light-gathering capabilities, ensuring high-quality images even in low-light conditions. The sensor’s LVDS interface allows for fast and reliable data transmission, simplifying integration into modern imaging systems. Additionally, the BGA 112-pin package ensures durability and flexibility, making it suitable for long-term use in demanding industrial and surveillance applications.

The Sony IMX307LQD-C’s combination of STARVIS technology, high-speed performance, and excellent low-light imaging capabilities makes it a powerful solution for a variety of security, industrial, and automation applications. Whether used in surveillance systems, factory monitoring, or industrial inspection cameras, this sensor provides the sensitivity, speed, and reliability required for today’s advanced imaging systems.
