Product Overview

The IMX585AAMJ1-C is an 8.41 MP monochrome CMOS sensor optimized for high-sensitivity security camera applications.

The Sony IMX585AAMJ1-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor from the Sony Starvis 2 series, optimized for security and surveillance applications. With a diagonal size of 12.84 mm (Type 1/1.2 inch) and 8.41 million effective pixels, this sensor is designed to deliver exceptional image quality in low-light conditions. Its advanced Starvis 2 technology ensures high sensitivity, low dark current, and minimal noise, making it ideal for security cameras and other imaging systems that require clear, detailed images even in challenging environments.

The IMX585AAMJ1-C features a resolution of 3856 x 2180 pixels, with a compact pixel size of 2.9 x 2.9 μm, offering high-definition image capture. It utilizes a rolling shutter mechanism, making it particularly well-suited for capturing still scenes or moderate-speed motion. This sensor is designed to operate efficiently with a triple power supply (analog 3.3 V, digital 1.1 V, and interface 1.8 V), ensuring low power consumption while maintaining high-performance image processing.

Key features of the IMX585AAMJ1-C include:

  • 8.41 MP resolution (3856 x 2180)
  • Rolling shutter for area sensor imaging
  • 2.9 x 2.9 μm pixel size for high-sensitivity, high-resolution imaging
  • Triple power supply (3.3V, 1.1V, 1.8V) for efficient power consumption
  • High sensitivity and low dark current for enhanced image quality in low-light conditions
  • Electronic shutter with variable charge-integration time
  • MIPI interface for reliable data transmission

The IMX585AAMJ1-C is particularly suited for security camera applications, where clear, high-quality imaging is essential for monitoring and surveillance. Its high sensitivity and low dark current characteristics enable the sensor to perform exceptionally well in low-light environments, such as during nighttime surveillance or in dimly lit areas. The rolling shutter is effective for capturing high-quality stills and video footage in these scenarios, ensuring that fine details are captured without excessive motion blur.

With its 2.9 x 2.9 μm pixel size, the IMX585AAMJ1-C offers excellent light-gathering capabilities, allowing it to deliver clear, detailed images in various lighting conditions. The sensor’s MIPI interface ensures fast and reliable data transmission, simplifying integration into modern security camera systems. Additionally, the sensor’s low power consumption makes it ideal for energy-efficient devices, enabling long-lasting performance in battery-powered or energy-sensitive applications.

The Sony IMX585AAMJ1-C combines advanced imaging technology, high sensitivity, and low power consumption, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of security and surveillance applications. Whether used in residential security cameras, commercial monitoring systems, or public surveillance, this sensor provides the clarity, reliability, and performance required for modern security solutions.
