Sony Pregius S IMX540 – 24.55 MP Color CMOS Sensor

The IMX540AAQJ-C is a 24.55 MP color CMOS sensor with global shutter, designed for high-resolution industrial and ITS camera applications.

The Sony IMX540AAQJ-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor designed with Sony’s 4th generation Pregius S global shutter technology. With a diagonal size of 19.3 mm (Type 1.2 inch) and 24.55 million effective pixels, this sensor is built for industrial applications that require high-resolution and distortion-free image capture. Its global shutter ensures that all pixels capture light simultaneously, eliminating motion artifacts and delivering clear, detailed images even in fast-moving environments, making it ideal for applications such as factory automation (FA) and precision inspection systems.

With a resolution of 5328 x 4608 pixels and a pixel size of 2.74 x 2.74 μm, the IMX540AAQJ-C delivers exceptional image clarity and high sensitivity. Operating at a frame rate of 35 frames per second (fps), this sensor is well-suited for applications requiring both precision and reliability in image capture, particularly where detailed analysis is required. The global shutter ensures that even fast-moving objects are captured without distortion, making it perfect for dynamic environments such as high-speed production lines or industrial monitoring.

The IMX540AAQJ-C operates with a quadruple power supply (analog 3.3 V, 2.9 V, digital 1.1 V, and interface 1.8 V), optimizing its power consumption while maintaining superior performance. High sensitivity and low dark current characteristics make it particularly effective in low-light environments, ensuring that even in challenging lighting conditions, the sensor can deliver high-quality images with minimal noise.

Key features of the IMX540AAQJ-C include:

• 24.55 MP resolution (5328 x 4608)
• Global shutter for distortion-free image capture
• 2.74 x 2.74 μm pixel size for high-resolution imaging
• Frame rate of 35 fps for normal-speed image capture
• 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
• Ceramic LGA package (21 mm x 20 mm) for flexible system integration

The IMX540AAQJ-C is particularly suited for applications in factory automation (FA) and high-precision industrial inspection. In FA systems, its high resolution and global shutter allow for accurate monitoring and inspection of fast-moving objects, improving the overall efficiency and accuracy of automated systems. Its ability to deliver sharp, high-quality images in real-time makes it an invaluable asset in tasks requiring precision, such as quality control in manufacturing.

Its high sensitivity, combined with low dark current characteristics, enables the sensor to perform exceptionally well in low-light or high-contrast environments, ensuring detailed and accurate image capture regardless of lighting conditions. The SLVS and SLVS-EC interfaces provide fast, reliable data transmission, making the IMX540AAQJ-C easy to integrate into high-performance imaging systems. Its compact ceramic LGA package further simplifies integration, making it suitable for space-constrained applications.

The Sony IMX540AAQJ-C offers a powerful combination of high-resolution imaging, global shutter technology, and efficient power usage, making it a versatile solution for demanding industrial applications. Whether used in automated production lines or precision inspection systems, this sensor provides the speed, accuracy, and reliability needed for today’s complex imaging challenges.
