Product Overview

The IMX662AAQR-C is a 2.14 MP RGB CMOS sensor for high-definition security camera systems, offering Full HD video at 90 fps with low power consumption.

The Sony IMX662AAQR-C is a high-sensitivity CMOS image sensor from the Sony Starvis 2 series, specifically designed for security camera applications. With a diagonal size of 6.45 mm (Type 1/2.8 inch) and 2.40 million effective pixels, this sensor delivers exceptional image clarity in various lighting conditions. The sensor is equipped with Sony's advanced Starvis 2 technology, which enhances low-light performance, minimizes dark current, and eliminates smear, making it an excellent choice for surveillance and monitoring systems.

The IMX662AAQR-C features a resolution of 1980 x 1080 pixels with a pixel size of 2.9 x 2.9 μm, providing full HD image quality with high light sensitivity. This sensor employs a rolling shutter mechanism and uses R, G, and B primary color mosaic filters, ensuring accurate color reproduction and vibrant images. It operates efficiently with a triple power supply (analog 3.3 V, digital 1.1 V, and interface 1.8 V), reducing power consumption while maintaining high-performance imaging capabilities.

Key features of the IMX662AAQR-C include:

  • 2.14 MP resolution (1980 x 1080)
  • Rolling shutter for area sensor imaging
  • 2.9 x 2.9 μm pixel size for high-sensitivity and detailed imaging
  • Triple power supply (3.3V, 1.1V, 1.8V) for efficient power consumption
  • High sensitivity and low dark current for improved performance in low-light environments
  • Electronic shutter with variable charge-integration time
  • MIPI interface for fast, reliable data transmission
  • Ceramic LGA package for enhanced durability and system integration

The IMX662AAQR-C is particularly well-suited for security camera applications, where high sensitivity and low-light performance are critical for effective surveillance. Its enhanced sensitivity and low dark current characteristics ensure clear and detailed image capture, even in dimly lit environments such as nighttime surveillance. The rolling shutter effectively handles typical security camera use cases, providing smooth video capture with minimal noise and distortion.

With its 2.9 x 2.9 μm pixel size, the IMX662AAQR-C offers excellent light-gathering capabilities, making it ideal for security applications requiring clear images under various lighting conditions. The sensor’s MIPI interface ensures fast data transmission, making it easy to integrate into modern security camera systems. Its durable ceramic LGA package further enhances reliability, making the sensor suitable for use in demanding environments where longevity and performance are paramount.

The Sony IMX662AAQR-C combines advanced Starvis 2 imaging technology, high sensitivity, and efficient power consumption, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of security and surveillance applications. Whether used in residential, commercial, or public security systems, this sensor delivers the clarity, reliability, and performance necessary for modern security solutions.
