Product Overview

The IMX347LQR-C is a high-performance 4.17 MP CMOS sensor optimized for surveillance and industrial imaging applications, providing excellent image quality and low power consumption.

The Sony IMX347LQR-C is designed to meet the demanding needs of surveillance, factory automation (FA), and industrial cameras. With a diagonal size of 9.04 mm (Type 1/1.8 inch) and 4.17 million effective pixels, this sensor excels in capturing high-quality images in both bright and low-light conditions. Thanks to Sony’s STARVIS technology, the sensor offers high sensitivity, low dark current, and minimal smear, making it ideal for environments requiring reliable, high-resolution imaging.

The IMX347LQR-C supports a resolution of 2688 x 1520 pixels, with a pixel size of 2.9 x 2.9 μm, delivering sharp, detailed images. It uses RGB primary color mosaic filters to ensure true-to-life color reproduction. Designed for versatile applications, this sensor is capable of up to 90 frames per second (fps), allowing for real-time, high-speed imaging, while its electronic shutter with variable charge-integration time ensures precise exposure control in dynamic lighting conditions.

Key features of the IMX347LQR-C include:

  • 4.17 MP resolution (2688 x 1520)
  • 2.9 x 2.9 μm pixel size for high sensitivity and detailed imaging
  • Electronic shutter with variable charge-integration time for precise exposure control
  • High-speed frame rate of 90 fps for real-time imaging
  • STARVIS technology for superior low-light performance
  • Triple power supply (2.9V, 1.2V, 1.8V) for efficient power consumption
  • MIPI interface for fast data transmission
  • LGA 132-pin package for flexible system integration

This sensor is particularly suited for surveillance cameras, factory automation, and industrial cameras where high sensitivity and image clarity are essential. Whether monitoring dimly lit areas or capturing fast-moving objects, the IMX347LQR-C ensures reliable performance. Its 2.9 x 2.9 μm pixel size improves light sensitivity, making it ideal for low-light conditions, while the 90 fps frame rate ensures smooth video capture in high-motion environments.

The MIPI interface ensures fast and reliable data transmission, facilitating easy integration into advanced imaging systems. The LGA 132-pin package offers durability and flexibility, making it suitable for space-constrained industrial designs requiring long-term reliability.

By combining STARVIS technology, high-speed imaging, and excellent low-light performance, the Sony IMX347LQR-C provides a powerful solution for a variety of industrial, surveillance, and automation applications, ensuring precise, high-quality imaging in challenging environments.
