Sony Semiconductor Solutions has broadened its image sensor portfolio and provided a new sensor model for machine vision to mass production. The sensors are now available from Framos.
The IMX392 using Sony’s Pregius Global Shutter sensor technology provides 2.3 megapixels and runs at 167 fps @ 10 bits or 200 fps @ 8 bit. This imager is suitable for high-speed applications in quality inspection, factory automation and traffic.
The Sony IMX392 is a 1/2.3-type of imager with a square 1920 (h) x 1200 (v) active pixel array. The sensor has a pixel size of 3.45µm and is available in both color and monochrome versions.
Vision engineers can improve the image quality in their applications by using the different read-out modes offered by the sensor, such as 2 x 2 vertical FD binning. In this mode, for example, the sensor allows the summing of neighboring pixels to provide a "super pixel" that helps when under low light conditions. The sensor comes with an 8/10/12 bit A/D converter and image data is transferred over a low voltage sub-LVDS interface.
