Sony Pregius S IMX568 – 5.1 MP Color CMOS Sensor

The Sony IMX568AAQJ-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor designed with Sony’s 4th generation Pregius S global shutter technology. With a diagonal size of 8.8 mm (Type 1/1.8 inch) and 5.10 million effective pixels, this sensor is optimized for industrial applications, including factory automation (FA) and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Its global shutter technology ensures that all pixels capture light simultaneously, eliminating motion blur and distortion, making it ideal for high-speed imaging environments.

The IMX568AAQJ-C delivers a resolution of 2472 x 2064 pixels with a compact pixel size of 2.74 x 2.74 μm, providing excellent image clarity and high sensitivity. With a frame rate of 96 frames per second (fps), this sensor is perfect for real-time imaging applications that require fast and accurate image capture, such as vehicle detection and high-speed inspections on production lines. The global shutter ensures that fast-moving objects are captured clearly without distortion, making it ideal for dynamic and fast-paced environments.

Operating with a quadruple power supply (analog 3.3 V, 2.9 V, digital 1.1 V, and interface 1.8 V), the IMX568AAQJ-C is optimized for efficient power consumption while delivering top-tier imaging performance. Its high sensitivity and low dark current characteristics ensure sharp, clear images even in low-light conditions, enabling the sensor to perform well in challenging lighting environments.

Key features of the IMX568AAQJ-C include:

• 5.10 MP resolution (2472 x 2064)
• Global shutter for distortion-free image capture
• Compact 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 enhanced image quality in low-light conditions
• MIPI interface for fast, reliable data transmission
• Ceramic LGA package for flexible system integration

The IMX568AAQJ-C is particularly effective in applications such as factory automation (FA) and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). In FA environments, the sensor’s high frame rate and global shutter allow for accurate monitoring and inspection of fast-moving parts on production lines, improving both efficiency and quality control. In ITS applications, the sensor is highly effective for real-time traffic monitoring, vehicle detection, and license plate recognition, capturing high-quality images even at high speeds.

The sensor’s compact pixel size of 2.74 x 2.74 μm, along with its high sensitivity, allows it to perform exceptionally well in low-light environments, ensuring accurate image capture in challenging conditions. The MIPI interface ensures fast and reliable data transmission, making integration into high-performance imaging systems easier. Additionally, its ceramic LGA packaging provides durability and flexibility for system designs, making it suitable for space-constrained applications while delivering high-speed, high-resolution performance.

The Sony IMX568AAQJ-C offers a powerful combination of global shutter technology, high-speed imaging, and low-light performance, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial imaging applications. Whether used in fast-paced production lines or real-time traffic monitoring systems, this sensor provides the precision, speed, and reliability required for demanding imaging tasks.
