Description

The Sony IMX253LQR-C is a highly advanced CMOS image sensor designed for industrial imaging applications where high resolution, speed, and precision are critical. This Type 1.1 sensor features a remarkable 12.37 megapixels (4112 x 3008) resolution, enabling it to capture ultra-high-definition images with exceptional clarity. Leveraging Sony's Pregius global shutter technology, the IMX253 ensures distortion-free imaging, making it ideal for fast-moving objects in machine vision, factory automation, and inspection systems.

One of the standout features of the IMX253 is its industry-leading pixel size of 3.45 µm, which offers high sensitivity and low noise, ensuring excellent performance in varying light conditions. This sensor supports a maximum frame rate of 68.3 fps, making it suitable for high-speed applications where rapid image acquisition is necessary. Additionally, it includes a trigger mode that allows external control over the exposure time, enhancing its flexibility in automated environments.

The IMX253LQR-C also features an ROI (Region of Interest) mode, which enables users to crop specific areas of interest within the frame, significantly reducing data processing requirements and speeding up overall system performance. Its low power consumption is facilitated by a triple power supply system—analog 3.3V, digital 1.2V, and interface 1.8V—making it efficient for continuous use in industrial applications.

  • Resolution: 12.37 MP (4112 x 3008 pixels)
  • Pixel size: 3.45 µm x 3.45 µm
  • Maximum frame rate: 68.3 fps
  • Global shutter for distortion-free high-speed imaging
  • ROI mode for optimized data processing
  • Applications: Machine vision, factory automation, inspection systems

With its cutting-edge technology, the IMX253LQR-C is designed to meet the needs of modern industrial systems. Its robust LGA 226-pin package and LVDS interface ensure easy integration into a wide range of machine vision systems, while the sensor's high resolution and speed enable precision in applications requiring fast and accurate imaging. Powered by Sony’s Pregius CMOS global shutter, this sensor is perfect for applications demanding both high image quality and rapid frame rates.
