Product Overview

The IMX305LQR-C is an 8.95 MP color CMOS sensor with a global shutter, optimized for high-speed industrial imaging.

The Sony Pregius IMX305LQR-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor designed for applications such as factory automation (FA) and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Featuring a diagonal 16.1 mm (Type 1) CMOS active pixel type sensor, it boasts 8.95 million effective pixels in a square pixel array. The IMX305LQR-C offers high-quality image capture due to its global shutter technology, which prevents image distortion caused by motion. Additionally, the sensor supports a variable charge-integration time, allowing for more flexible exposure control.

The IMX305LQR-C operates with three separate power supplies: analog (3.3 V), digital (1.2 V), and interface (1.8 V), ensuring optimized power efficiency. This sensor also stands out for its low power consumption, making it suitable for industrial use cases where energy efficiency is a priority.

This sensor achieves high sensitivity, low dark current, and minimized PLS (parasitic light sensitivity), ensuring clean, noise-free images in challenging lighting conditions. With a resolution of 4112 x 2176 pixels, the IMX305LQR-C delivers exceptional image clarity and detail at a 63.7 frames per second (fps) rate, making it ideal for high-speed imaging tasks. The pixel pitch is 3.45 µm x 3.45 µm, a standard for high-definition imaging sensors, allowing for more accurate detection of fine details.

For industrial applications such as machine vision and automated inspection, the IMX305LQR-C can help enhance system performance by providing high-quality image output without motion artifacts. Additionally, it supports the LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling) interface and comes in an LGA (Land Grid Array) package with 226 pins, making it easier to integrate into custom imaging systems.

  • Resolution: 4112 x 2176 pixels
  • Pixel size: 3.45 x 3.45 µm
  • Frame rate: 63.7 fps
  • Global Shutter technology
  • Low power consumption
  • Applications: FA cameras, ITS cameras

The IMX305LQR-C is designed for developers and system integrators seeking high-performance imaging sensors for custom solutions. Its global shutter capability and high-speed image processing make it a perfect fit for industrial automation, intelligent transportation, and other machine vision applications where precision and speed are crucial.
