Product Summary

The IMX342LQA-C is a 31.49 MP color CMOS sensor with a global shutter, optimized for industrial and ITS camera systems.

The Sony Pregius IMX342LQA-C is a powerful color CMOS sensor with a diagonal 27.9 mm (APS-C) optical size and 31.49 MP resolution. Its pixel array of 6480 x 4860 pixels delivers high-resolution color images, ideal for industrial and ITS camera applications. Featuring a global shutter, the IMX342LQA-C eliminates distortion when capturing fast-moving subjects, making it perfect for factory automation, traffic surveillance, and other high-speed vision systems. The sensor operates on a triple power supply of analog 3.3 V, digital 1.2 V, and interface 1.8 V, ensuring efficient power usage. With a pixel size of 3.45 x 3.45 µm, it offers high sensitivity, low noise, and excellent performance in low-light environments. The sensor supports up to 25 fps and uses an SLVS interface for fast data transfer, packaged in a durable 236-pin PGA housing.
