Product Overview

The Sony Pregius S IMX900-AQR ES is a high-performance CMOS sensor designed for industrial imaging with RGB output and global shutter technology.

The Sony IMX900-AQR ES is a cutting-edge CMOS image sensor developed for industrial applications, utilizing Sony’s 4th generation Pregius S global shutter technology. Featuring a diagonal size of 5.81 mm (Type 1/3.1 inch) and 3.20 million effective pixels, this sensor is designed to deliver superior image clarity and speed. Its global shutter ensures that all pixels capture light simultaneously, eliminating motion blur and delivering distortion-free images even in fast-moving environments, making it perfect for applications like factory automation (FA), intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and robotics.

With a resolution of 2064 x 1552 pixels and a pixel size of 2.25 x 2.25 μm, the IMX900-AQR ES ensures detailed image capture, making it highly suitable for high-speed imaging applications. Capable of delivering up to 113 frames per second (fps) at 10-bit, this sensor is optimized for real-time processing, ensuring fast and accurate imaging, crucial for environments like logistics, traffic monitoring, and sports simulations.

This sensor operates with a low power consumption through a triple power supply system: analog (2.9V), digital (0.8V), and interface (1.8V), making it both energy-efficient and powerful. High sensitivity and low dark current characteristics enhance image quality, especially in low-light or variable lighting conditions.

Key features of the IMX900-AQR ES include:

  • 3.20 MP resolution (2064 x 1552)
  • Global shutter for distortion-free image capture
  • Compact 2.25 x 2.25 μm pixel size for high-definition imaging
  • Frame rate of 113 fps (10-bit) for high-speed, real-time image capture
  • Low power consumption with a triple power supply (2.9V, 0.8V, 1.8V)
  • High sensitivity and low dark current for clear, sharp images
  • MIPI and SLVS interfaces for fast, reliable data transmission
  • Ceramic LGA package (12.0 mm x 9.3 mm) for flexible system integration

The IMX900-AQR ES is particularly effective in factory automation (FA), intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and robotics. In FA, the sensor’s fast frame rate and global shutter allow for precise monitoring and inspection of fast-moving parts on production lines, improving accuracy and operational efficiency. In ITS, the sensor excels at real-time traffic monitoring and license plate recognition, capturing high-quality images even in challenging lighting conditions. The sensor's high-speed imaging is also ideal for robotics, enabling precise navigation, obstacle detection, and material handling tasks.

The compact pixel size and high sensitivity of the IMX900-AQR ES ensure it performs well in both low-light and high-contrast environments. The sensor’s MIPI and SLVS interfaces provide fast and reliable data transfer, simplifying integration into high-performance imaging systems. Additionally, the durable ceramic LGA package offers flexibility and durability for demanding industrial designs.

The Sony IMX900-AQR ES combines advanced global shutter technology, high-speed imaging, and low-light performance, making it a powerful solution for a wide range of industrial applications. Whether used in high-speed production lines, real-time traffic monitoring systems, or robotics, this sensor delivers the precision, speed, and reliability required for modern industrial imaging challenges.
