Product Summary

The IMX537AAMJ-C is a 5.1 MP monochrome CMOS sensor with global shutter, optimized for high-speed industrial and ITS applications.

The Sony Pregius S IMX537AAMJ-C is a compact, high-speed CMOS sensor featuring a global shutter and a 5.1 MP resolution (2472 x 2064 pixels). With a diagonal size of 11.1 mm (Type 1/1.8) and pixel dimensions of 2.74 x 2.74 µm, this sensor is designed for high-performance applications such as factory automation (FA) and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The IMX537AAMJ-C operates with a quadruple power supply (analog 3.3 V, 2.9 V, digital 1.1 V, and interface 1.8 V), ensuring efficient power management while delivering a frame rate of up to 259 fps. Thanks to the global shutter technology, the sensor is capable of capturing distortion-free images even for fast-moving subjects, making it ideal for high-speed industrial imaging. Additionally, the IMX537AAMJ-C features SLVS and SLVS-EC interfaces, facilitating rapid data transmission. Its low dark current and high sensitivity further enhance the image quality, particularly in low-light environments. The 4th Generation Pregius S technology ensures consistent performance, offering high-speed data output, high saturation, and excellent image quality across various industrial applications.
