Product Summary

The IMX676AAMR1-C is a 12.62 MP CMOS sensor designed for high-resolution security camera applications, with a 60 fps frame rate and low power consumption.

The Sony IMX676AAMR1-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor from the Sony Starvis 2 series, specifically designed for advanced security camera applications. With a diagonal size of 10.04 mm (Type 1/1.6 inch) and 12.62 million effective pixels, this sensor delivers exceptional image clarity, even in challenging lighting conditions. Leveraging Sony’s advanced Starvis 2 technology, the IMX676AAMR1-C offers high sensitivity, low dark current, and minimal noise, making it ideal for security and surveillance applications that require detailed and reliable imaging.

The sensor features a resolution of 3552 x 3552 pixels, providing ultra-sharp, high-definition images. With a compact pixel size of 2 x 2 μm, the IMX676AAMR1-C is optimized for low-light performance, enabling it to capture clear and detailed images in dim lighting conditions. It operates with a rolling shutter mechanism and uses RGB primary color mosaic filters, ensuring accurate color reproduction. The sensor runs 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 imaging performance.

Key features of the IMX676AAMR1-C include:

  • 12.62 MP resolution (3552 x 3552)
  • Rolling shutter for area sensor imaging
  • 2 x 2 μm pixel size for high sensitivity and low-light performance
  • 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 environments
  • Electronic shutter with variable charge-integration time
  • MIPI interface for reliable data transmission
  • LGA (Ceramic) 132-pin package for durable system integration

The IMX676AAMR1-C is particularly suited for a variety of security camera applications, including surveillance, outdoor security, and traffic monitoring. Its high sensitivity and low-light performance make it ideal for capturing clear images in low-light conditions, ensuring detailed footage even in nighttime or dim environments. The rolling shutter mechanism provides smooth and stable video recording, while the electronic shutter with variable charge-integration time allows for precise control over exposure settings.

With its 2 x 2 μm pixel size, the IMX676AAMR1-C is designed to gather light effectively, making it a powerful tool for security cameras that need to operate in varying lighting conditions. The sensor’s MIPI interface ensures fast and efficient data transmission, simplifying integration into modern security systems. The durable LGA (Ceramic) 132-pin package ensures longevity, making the IMX676AAMR1-C suitable for industrial-grade security systems requiring long-term reliability.

The Sony IMX676AAMR1-C’s combination of advanced Starvis 2 technology, high-speed performance, and excellent low-light imaging capabilities makes it a powerful solution for security and surveillance applications. Whether deployed in residential, commercial, or public environments, this sensor delivers the precision, speed, and reliability necessary for modern security needs.
