Sony Pregius S IMX535 – 12.42 MP Color CMOS Sensor

The Sony IMX535AAQJ-C is a highly advanced CMOS image sensor that incorporates Sony’s 4th generation Pregius S global shutter technology. With a diagonal size of 14.0 mm (Type 1/1.1 inch) and 12.41 million effective pixels, this sensor is designed for industrial applications that require both high speed and high image quality. Its global shutter technology ensures that all pixels capture light simultaneously, eliminating motion blur and providing distortion-free images, making it ideal for fast-moving environments such as factory automation (FA) and intelligent transportation systems (ITS).

The IMX535AAQJ-C offers a resolution of 4128 x 3008 pixels, with a compact pixel size of 2.74 x 2.74 μm, providing excellent image clarity and sensitivity. The sensor operates at an impressive frame rate of 184 frames per second (fps), making it well-suited for high-speed applications where precision and speed are critical. The global shutter ensures clear and sharp imaging, even in scenarios where objects are moving quickly, ensuring no distortion in captured images.

Optimized for efficiency, this sensor operates with a quadruple power supply (analog 3.3 V, 2.9 V, digital 1.1 V, and interface 1.8 V), which helps maintain low power consumption without compromising performance. High sensitivity and low dark current characteristics further enhance the sensor’s performance in low-light environments, ensuring high-quality images even under challenging conditions.

Key features of the IMX535AAQJ-C include:

• 12.42 MP resolution (4128 x 3008)
• Global shutter for distortion-free image capture
• 2.74 x 2.74 μm pixel size for high-resolution and clear imaging
• Frame rate of 184 fps for fast, high-speed imaging
• Quadruple power supply (3.3V, 2.9V, 1.1V, 1.8V) for efficient power consumption
• High sensitivity and low dark current for enhanced image quality
• SLVS and SLVS-EC interfaces for reliable, high-speed data transfer
• LGA 230-pin package for flexible system integration

The IMX535AAQJ-C is particularly suited for applications in factory automation (FA) and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). In FA environments, its fast frame rate and global shutter capability make it an ideal choice for monitoring and inspecting fast-moving components on production lines, ensuring precision and efficiency in automated systems. For ITS, the sensor excels in traffic monitoring and real-time vehicle detection, capturing sharp, clear images even in rapidly changing environments.

Additionally, its compact pixel size of 2.74 x 2.74 μm and high sensitivity make it especially effective in low-light conditions, enabling detailed and accurate image capture in challenging lighting environments. The SLVS and SLVS-EC interfaces ensure that data transfer is both fast and reliable, simplifying the integration of this sensor into high-performance imaging systems. Its LGA 230-pin package also offers a compact design, making it suitable for space-constrained applications while maintaining high performance.

The Sony IMX535AAQJ-C’s combination of high-speed performance, global shutter technology, and superior image quality makes it a versatile and powerful solution for industrial imaging applications. Whether used in high-speed production lines or traffic management systems, this sensor delivers the precision, speed, and reliability needed to meet modern imaging challenges.
