Product Summary

High-speed, event-based 0.92 MP vision sensor with 110 dB dynamic range, ideal for real-time dynamic scene capture.

The IMX636AAMR-C is a high-performance, Type 1/2.5" event-based vision sensor offering 0.92 MP resolution (1280 x 720), ideal for capturing rapid changes in dynamic scenes. Each pixel on the IMX636AAMR-C independently detects brightness changes, outputting asynchronous data on pixel coordinates, timestamps, and brightness polarity only when threshold changes occur. This efficient data handling, combined with low latency of 100 µs or less, allows the sensor to capture and transmit high-speed events while minimizing redundant data. The sensor provides a high dynamic range of over 110 dB, outputting voltage in a logarithmic response to light intensity, making it suitable for challenging lighting conditions. With SLVS and MIPI compatibility, this sensor is versatile for industrial, IoT, surveillance, automotive, and medical applications, enabling precision tracking and detection in real-time.
