Global shutter sensor used in robotics application

Next-Gen Global Shutter Sensors with Higher Resolution, Lower Power, and Superior Integration Flexibility

Introducing Sony Pregius S (4th Generation)

Sony Pregius S is the 4th generation of Pregius technology. These advanced CMOS sensors adopt a backside-illuminated (BSI) architecture, enabling:

Compact Pixels, Clear Images
Smaller 2.74 µm pixels without compromising image quality
More Resolution in Less Space
Higher resolution density for compact system integration
Enhanced Performance in Low Light
Improved low-light performance
Power-Efficient for Embedded Vision
Lower power consumption for embedded vision platforms

Pregius S sensors are ideal for edge AI, high-resolution AOI systems, and multi-camera robotics platforms. Popular sensors include the IMX530 (24.5 MP), IMX531 (16.1 MP), and IMX532 (12.3 MP) — delivering next-gen performance in compact packages.

Ready to Integrate Pregius Into Your Vision System?

FRAMOS provides expert guidance on choosing the optimal Pregius or Pregius S sensor – balancing resolution, size, speed, and power – to help you build high-performance, reliable vision systems.
