Product Overview

The IMX567AAQJ-C is a 5.1 MP color CMOS sensor with global shutter, designed for high-speed industrial imaging.

The Sony IMX567AAQJ-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor designed with Sony’s 4th generation Pregius S global shutter technology. Featuring a diagonal size of 8.8 mm (Type 1/1.8 inch) and 5.10 million effective pixels, this sensor is ideal for industrial imaging applications that require high speed and precision, such as factory automation (FA) and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The global shutter ensures that all pixels capture light simultaneously, eliminating motion blur and providing distortion-free images, even in fast-moving environments.

The IMX567AAQJ-C offers a resolution of 2472 x 2064 pixels, with a compact pixel size of 2.74 x 2.74 μm, ensuring high image clarity and sensitivity. Operating at a frame rate of 96 frames per second (fps), this sensor is well-suited for applications requiring fast, real-time image capture, such as vehicle detection and high-speed inspections on production lines. The global shutter guarantees that even fast-moving objects are captured with sharpness and clarity, making the IMX567AAQJ-C ideal for dynamic imaging environments.

Powered by a quadruple power supply (analog 3.3 V, 2.9 V, digital 1.1 V, and interface 1.8 V), the IMX567AAQJ-C is optimized for low power consumption while delivering excellent imaging performance. High sensitivity and low dark current characteristics further enhance its ability to deliver clear and sharp images in low-light conditions, ensuring high-quality imaging in challenging environments.

Key features of the IMX567AAQJ-C include:

  • 5.10 MP resolution (2472 x 2064)
  • Global shutter for distortion-free image capture
  • 2.74 x 2.74 μm pixel size for high-resolution imaging
  • Frame rate of 96 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 superior image quality in low-light conditions
  • MIPI interface for fast, reliable data transmission
  • LGA 230-pin package for flexible system integration

The IMX567AAQJ-C is particularly well-suited for applications in factory automation (FA) and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). In FA environments, the sensor’s high frame rate and global shutter allow for precise, distortion-free monitoring of fast-moving objects, improving accuracy and efficiency in automated processes. In ITS applications, this sensor excels in real-time traffic monitoring, vehicle detection, and license plate recognition, capturing sharp, high-quality images even at high speeds.

The sensor’s compact pixel size of 2.74 x 2.74 μm and high sensitivity make it highly effective in low-light environments, enabling accurate image capture in difficult lighting conditions. The MIPI interface ensures fast and reliable data transmission, simplifying the integration of the IMX567AAQJ-C into high-performance imaging systems. The sensor’s LGA 230-pin package also adds flexibility, making it suitable for space-constrained designs while delivering high-speed, high-resolution performance.

The Sony IMX567AAQJ-C’s combination of global shutter technology, high-speed performance, and excellent image quality makes it a powerful solution for a wide range of industrial imaging applications. Whether used in high-speed production lines or real-time traffic monitoring systems, this sensor delivers the precision, speed, and reliability required for modern imaging challenges.
