Sony Pregius S IMX545 – 12.42 MP Color CMOS Sensor

The Sony IMX545AAQJ-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor designed with Sony’s 4th generation Pregius S global shutter technology. Featuring a diagonal size of 14.0 mm (Type 1/1.1 inch) and 12.41 million effective pixels, this sensor is optimized for high-resolution and high-speed imaging applications, such as factory automation (FA) and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The global shutter ensures that all pixels capture light simultaneously, providing distortion-free and motion artifact-free images, even in fast-moving scenarios.

The IMX545AAQJ-C offers a resolution of 4128 x 3008 pixels, with a pixel size of 2.74 x 2.74 μm, ensuring high image clarity and sensitivity. Operating at a frame rate of 68 frames per second (fps), this sensor is well-suited for applications where fast, accurate image capture is essential. The global shutter functionality guarantees that even high-speed objects are captured clearly, making it ideal for dynamic environments such as production lines and real-time traffic monitoring.

Powering this sensor is a quadruple power supply (analog 3.3 V, 2.9 V, digital 1.1 V, and interface 1.8 V), optimizing power consumption while maintaining superior imaging performance. The IMX545AAQJ-C’s high sensitivity and low dark current characteristics further enhance its ability to deliver high-quality images in challenging lighting conditions, ensuring excellent performance even in low-light environments.

Key features of the IMX545AAQJ-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 imaging
• Frame rate of 68 fps for fast, accurate 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 IMX545AAQJ-C is particularly effective in factory automation (FA) and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). In FA settings, the sensor’s high frame rate and global shutter make it an ideal solution for monitoring and inspecting fast-moving objects on production lines, improving efficiency and precision in automated systems. In ITS, this sensor excels in traffic monitoring, vehicle detection, and real-time surveillance, providing sharp, high-quality images even in fast-paced environments.

Its compact pixel size of 2.74 x 2.74 μm, combined with high sensitivity, makes the IMX545AAQJ-C highly effective in environments with challenging lighting conditions, such as low-light scenarios. The SLVS and SLVS-EC interfaces ensure fast and reliable data transfer, simplifying integration into high-performance imaging systems. The LGA 230-pin package adds flexibility, making it ideal for space-constrained designs while delivering high-speed, high-resolution performance.

The Sony IMX545AAQJ-C’s combination of high-resolution imaging, global shutter technology, and efficient power consumption makes it a powerful and versatile solution for a wide range of industrial applications. Whether used in high-speed production lines or real-time traffic monitoring systems, this sensor provides the speed, precision, and reliability required for modern industrial imaging challenges.
