Product Overview

The IMX991-AABJ-C offers high-performance SWIR imaging in an uncooled package, featuring global shutter technology for precision industrial applications.

The Sony IMX991-AABJ-C is a 0.34 MP monochrome CMOS sensor designed for SWIR imaging applications. With a global shutter and variable charge-integration time, this sensor is optimized for precision imaging across a wide waveband (0.4 µm to 1.7 µm). It is suitable for applications like product sorting, foreign material inspection, and semiconductor testing. The sensor offers high sensitivity and resolution, while maintaining low dark current and power consumption. The uncooled package version ensures a balance between performance and cost-efficiency. Operating at 240 fps, the IMX991-AABJ-C provides rapid imaging performance, making it ideal for fast-paced industrial processes.
