Sony Pregius S IMX566 – 8.13 MP Color CMOS Sensor

The Sony IMX566AAQJ-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor that leverages Sony’s 4th generation Pregius S global shutter technology. With a diagonal size of 11.1 mm (Type 2/3 inch) and 8.13 million effective pixels, this sensor is designed for industrial imaging applications such as factory automation (FA) and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The global shutter ensures that all pixels capture light simultaneously, eliminating motion blur and producing distortion-free images, making it highly effective in fast-moving environments.

The IMX566AAQJ-C delivers a resolution of 2856 x 2848 pixels with a compact pixel size of 2.74 x 2.74 μm, offering high image clarity and excellent sensitivity. With a frame rate of 62 frames per second (fps), this sensor is suitable for real-time imaging applications where speed and precision are crucial, such as real-time traffic monitoring, high-speed industrial inspections, or vehicle detection in intelligent transportation systems. The global shutter technology ensures clear and accurate capture, even when imaging fast-moving objects.

Powered by a quadruple power supply (analog 3.3 V, 2.9 V, digital 1.1 V, and interface 1.8 V), the IMX566AAQJ-C offers efficient power usage while delivering high-quality performance. Its high sensitivity and low dark current characteristics ensure superior image quality, even in low-light conditions, enabling the sensor to produce clear, detailed images in challenging lighting environments.

Key features of the IMX566AAQJ-C include:

• 8.13 MP resolution (2856 x 2848)
• Global shutter for distortion-free image capture
• 2.74 x 2.74 μm pixel size for high-resolution imaging
• Frame rate of 62 fps for fast, real-time 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 in low-light conditions
• MIPI interface for fast, reliable data transmission
• LGA 230-pin package for flexible system integration

The IMX566AAQJ-C is particularly well-suited for applications in factory automation (FA) and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). In FA systems, the sensor’s global shutter and high frame rate enable accurate monitoring and inspection of fast-moving objects, improving production line efficiency and product quality control. In ITS applications, the sensor’s high sensitivity and fast frame rate make it ideal for traffic monitoring, vehicle detection, and real-time license plate recognition.

With its compact pixel size of 2.74 x 2.74 μm and high sensitivity, the IMX566AAQJ-C performs exceptionally well in environments with low light or fluctuating lighting conditions. Its MIPI interface enables fast and reliable data transfer, facilitating easy integration into high-performance imaging systems. The sensor’s LGA 230-pin package adds flexibility, making it suitable for space-constrained designs while maintaining high-resolution and high-speed performance.

The Sony IMX566AAQJ-C combines global shutter technology, high-speed imaging, and low-light performance, making it a versatile and powerful solution for a wide range of industrial imaging applications. Whether used in high-speed production lines or real-time traffic management systems, this sensor provides the precision, speed, and reliability required for modern imaging challenges.
