Product Overview

Designed for evaluating the 16.88 MP monochrome CMOS sensor with SLVS interface.

The Sony IMX387LLA EVB-Kit SLVS is an advanced Evaluation Board (EVB) designed to drive the IMX387LLA CMOS image sensor, enabling developers and engineers to evaluate its performance in a controlled environment. This kit allows raw image data to be captured and displayed directly on a PC screen, offering a complete solution for assessing the sensor’s capabilities. With a resolution of 16.88 megapixels and a monochrome output, the IMX387LLA sensor is well-suited for high-precision imaging tasks, including industrial automation, machine vision, and scientific applications.

The IMX387LLA sensor utilizes a high-speed SLVS (Scalable Low Voltage Signaling) interface, ensuring fast and efficient data transfer, which is essential for high-resolution imaging in real-time applications. This sensor is designed to capture highly detailed, monochrome images, making it ideal for tasks requiring high accuracy and precision without the need for color information, such as medical imaging, satellite imagery, and scientific research.

The Sony IMX387LLA EVB-Kit SLVS includes the following components:

  • Sensor Driver Board
  • Interface Board
  • Lens Mount and mechanism (no lens included)
  • CD with information and documentation

In addition, the kit includes the IMX342EVB-DA-FN and IMX342EVB-C3S-V28F39 modules, providing a modular setup that allows for flexible sensor evaluation. The kit’s F-mount for optics provides compatibility with a wide range of professional lenses, making it suitable for various imaging applications. While the kit does not include a lens, this adaptability enables developers to select the best optical setup for their specific use case, whether in industrial environments, scientific research, or advanced inspection systems.

One of the key strengths of the IMX387LLA sensor is its 16.88 MP resolution, which delivers high-detail, sharp images, making it suitable for applications that require exceptional precision. The sensor’s SLVS interface supports fast, high-bandwidth data transfer, allowing it to efficiently manage the significant data generated by its high resolution. This combination of resolution and speed makes the IMX387LLA sensor ideal for tasks that require both high-quality imaging and fast processing, such as automated quality control systems, scientific research, and industrial monitoring.

The monochrome output of the IMX387LLA sensor provides high sensitivity and superior performance in low-light conditions. This is particularly advantageous for applications such as microscopy, scientific imaging, and industrial inspection, where the ability to capture fine details in various lighting environments is critical. The sensor’s raw data output also enables developers to evaluate its native performance, providing accurate insights into key metrics such as dynamic range, noise levels, and image clarity.

The Sony IMX387LLA EVB-Kit SLVS simplifies the sensor evaluation process, offering a plug-and-play setup that significantly reduces development time. Its flexible configuration and high-speed SLVS interface make it easy to integrate into various imaging systems, allowing developers to quickly assess the sensor’s performance in real-world applications. Whether used for prototyping, testing, or system optimization, this EVB-Kit is a powerful tool for evaluating the IMX387LLA sensor’s capabilities in high-precision imaging tasks.

With its high-resolution monochrome output, efficient SLVS interface, and adaptability for various imaging scenarios, the Sony IMX387LLA EVB-Kit SLVS is an ideal choice for developers working in industries such as industrial automation, scientific research, and medical imaging. Its ability to deliver sharp, detailed images makes it a reliable solution for applications that require both precision and speed.
