Sony IMX531 – 20.36 MP RGB Global Shutter CMOS Sensor

The Sony IMX531AAQJ-C offers high-speed performance with 20.36 MP resolution and global shutter technology.

The Sony IMX531AAQJ-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor designed for applications that require precise, high-speed imaging, such as factory automation (FA) cameras and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). With a diagonal size of 17.5 mm (Type 1.1) and a resolution of 20.35 megapixels, this sensor offers exceptional image quality through its global shutter technology, which enables it to capture fast-moving objects without distortion.

The IMX531 sensor features a square pixel array with a resolution of 4512 x 4512 pixels, with each pixel measuring 2.74 x 2.74 µm. This pixel structure ensures high-resolution images that are sharp and detailed, making the sensor ideal for industrial imaging and machine vision applications that demand accuracy and clarity. Additionally, the sensor operates at up to 109 frames per second (fps), offering high-speed image capture for real-time processing in dynamic environments.

Key to the IMX531AAQJ-C’s performance is its global shutter with variable charge-integration time, which eliminates motion blur, ensuring clear and accurate image capture even in high-speed scenarios. This feature is critical in environments like traffic monitoring and robotic systems, where fast, precise imaging is required.

The sensor operates with a quadruple power supply: 3.3 V and 2.9 V for analog circuits, 1.1 V for digital circuits, and 1.8 V for the interface. This ensures power efficiency while maintaining high performance, making the IMX531 well-suited for continuous operation in industrial settings where power consumption is a key concern.
