Description

The Sony IMX255LQR-C is a high-performance CMOS image sensor designed for both industrial and specialized applications such as traffic surveillance. This Type 1 sensor offers an impressive resolution of 8.95 megapixels (4112 x 2176), making it suitable for high-detail imaging needs, including 4K pixel coverage. Built with Sony’s Pregius global shutter technology, the IMX255 ensures distortion-free image capture, which is essential for fast-moving objects in dynamic environments.

The IMX255 features a pixel size of 3.45 µm, which is optimized for high sensitivity and low noise, ensuring clear and sharp image quality in a wide range of lighting conditions. Operating at a maximum frame rate of 93.7 fps, this sensor is ideal for applications that require both high resolution and high-speed imaging, such as machine vision, traffic monitoring, and automated inspection systems.

The IMX255LQR-C shares the same pin-compatible package as the IMX253, allowing seamless integration and easy upgrades in systems using the IMX253 sensor. It supports an efficient triple power supply systemanalog 3.3V, digital 1.2V, and interface 1.8V—to maintain low power consumption, making it suitable for continuous operation in industrial environments.

  • Resolution: 8.95 MP (4112 x 2176 pixels)
  • Pixel size: 3.45 µm x 3.45 µm
  • Maximum frame rate: 93.7 fps
  • Global shutter for motion distortion-free imaging
  • Pin-compatible with IMX253 for easy system upgrades
  • Applications: Machine vision, traffic surveillance, automated inspection

The IMX255LQR-C excels in high-resolution and high-speed imaging, making it an ideal sensor for capturing detailed visuals in both industrial and traffic-related applications. Its 4K pixel coverage combined with the Pregius CMOS global shutter technology delivers top-tier performance, ensuring accurate imaging even in high-motion environments. With its robust LGA 226-pin package and LVDS interface, the IMX255 is a flexible and powerful solution for next-generation imaging systems.
