Product Summary

12.41 MP global shutter CMOS sensor optimized for high-speed industrial and 3D vision applications.

The Sony IMX936-AMJ is a high-performance CMOS image sensor with a 14.0 mm diagonal (Type 1/1.1) and 12.41 megapixels, optimized for precision imaging in factory automation and 3D vision systems. Its square pixel array and global shutter technology enable high-speed, distortion-free image capture, essential for dynamic industrial environments. The sensor features a variable charge-integration time, allowing flexible exposure control to suit diverse lighting conditions. Operating on a quadruple power supply (3.3 V, 2.9 V, 1.1 V, 1.8 V), it balances power efficiency and high-speed performance. The IMX936-AMJ is known for its low dark current and high sensitivity, supporting excellent image quality in low-light applications. These features make it particularly suitable for embedded vision modules, stereo 3D cameras, and fast inspection systems that demand sharp, low-noise images. Compact and versatile, it integrates easily into both new and existing vision architectures and supports precision image analysis, object detection, and motion tracking.
