Description

The Sony IMX304LQR-C is a high-resolution CMOS image sensor designed for industrial and specialized applications such as factory automation (FA) cameras and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). With a large Type 1.1 optical format and an impressive resolution of 12.37 megapixels (4112 x 3008), this sensor delivers superior image quality with precise detail, making it ideal for applications requiring high accuracy and clarity.

The IMX304 features Sony’s Pregius global shutter technology, which ensures distortion-free imaging, even when capturing fast-moving objects. Its 3.45 µm pixel size provides high sensitivity, allowing the sensor to perform well in various lighting conditions, while its low dark current and low parasitic light sensitivity (PLS) contribute to reducing noise and enhancing image clarity. The sensor operates at a frame rate of 23.3 fps, making it particularly suitable for low-speed machine vision tasks and ITS applications that require detailed and accurate image capture.

The IMX304 operates efficiently with a triple power supply systemanalog 3.3V, digital 1.2V, and interface 1.8V—which helps maintain low power consumption. This sensor also includes a variable charge-integration time, offering users flexibility in adjusting exposure times to meet specific imaging requirements in industrial and transportation environments.

  • Resolution: 12.37 MP (4112 x 3008 pixels)
  • Pixel size: 3.45 µm x 3.45 µm
  • Maximum frame rate: 23.3 fps
  • Global shutter for motion distortion-free imaging
  • Low power consumption with triple power supply system
  • Applications: Factory automation cameras, intelligent transportation systems, low-speed machine vision

The IMX304LQR-C is housed in a durable 226-pin LGA package with an LVDS interface, making it easy to integrate into camera systems for industrial and ITS applications. Its combination of high resolution, global shutter technology, and low power consumption makes it an ideal solution for developers looking to implement precise, reliable imaging systems. Whether it's for traffic monitoring or machine vision, the IMX304 offers high-quality, distortion-free imaging powered by Sony’s Pregius technology.
