Sony Pregius IMX661 – 128.9 MP Color CMOS Sensor

The Sony IMX661AAQR-C is a cutting-edge CMOS image sensor designed with Sony’s advanced Pregius global shutter technology, offering ultra-high resolution and precision. With a diagonal size of 56.73 mm (Type 3.6 inch) and an impressive 127 million effective pixels, this sensor is ideally suited for industrial applications that demand extremely detailed image capture, such as factory automation (FA) and large-scale inspection systems. The global shutter ensures that all pixels capture light simultaneously, eliminating motion blur and delivering distortion-free images in high-speed environments.

The IMX661AAQR-C provides a resolution of 13472 x 9568 pixels, with a pixel size of 3.45 x 3.45 μm, ensuring outstanding image clarity and sensitivity. This ultra-high resolution allows for capturing the finest details, making the sensor perfect for applications requiring large-scale imaging, such as aerial mapping, precision inspection, or high-end industrial camera systems. The sensor supports SLVS and SLVS-EC interfaces, enabling fast and reliable data transmission, making it a practical choice for systems that require high throughput and efficient processing of large image files.

This sensor operates with a quadruple power supply (analog 3.3 V, digital 1.2 V, and interface 1.8 V), ensuring efficient power consumption despite its high resolution and performance. The global shutter technology, combined with variable charge-integration time, enhances the flexibility of the sensor in capturing dynamic scenes without distortion or artifacts.

Key features of the IMX661AAQR-C include:

• 128.9 MP resolution (13472 x 9568)
• Global shutter for distortion-free capture of fast-moving objects
• 3.45 x 3.45 μm pixel size for high sensitivity and image clarity
• Quadruple power supply (3.3V, 1.2V, 1.8V) for efficient power management
• SLVS and SLVS-EC interfaces for high-speed data transfer

The IMX661AAQR-C is particularly well-suited for applications in factory automation (FA), where precision and speed are critical. In FA systems, this sensor excels at capturing high-resolution images of large areas or multiple objects at once, enabling detailed inspection and quality control in high-speed production environments. The global shutter technology ensures that fast-moving parts are captured clearly without motion blur, improving overall efficiency and reliability in automated processes.

In addition to its use in FA systems, the IMX661AAQR-C's ultra-high resolution and large format make it suitable for applications such as aerial mapping and scientific imaging, where capturing fine details over large fields of view is essential. The sensor’s pixel size of 3.45 x 3.45 μm ensures excellent light sensitivity, allowing for high-quality imaging even in low-light or high-contrast conditions.

With its combination of ultra-high resolution, global shutter technology, and efficient power consumption, the Sony IMX661AAQR-C is a versatile and powerful sensor for a wide range of demanding industrial and scientific imaging applications. Whether used in automated production lines or for detailed aerial surveys, this sensor delivers the precision, clarity, and speed required for complex imaging tasks.
