Sony Pregius S IMX568AAMJ-C

The IMX568-AAMJ is a Type 1/1.8, 5.10 MP monochrome CMOS image sensor for FA and ITS cameras. It combines a square-pixel array with a global shutter and variable charge-integration time, providing a defined acquisition approach for systems that capture moving subjects or operate with controlled exposure timing. 

Its individual technical identity is based on Pregius S technology. Sony combines back-illuminated sensor construction with stacked signal processing while retaining Pregius global-shutter pixel technology. This architecture supports a small chip size and high sensitivity, alongside the image quality characteristics of its global-shutter pixels. High sensitivity and low dark-current characteristics further distinguish the sensor’s monochrome imaging profile. 

For system development, the sensor provides a recommended recording resolution of 2448 × 2048 pixels and reaches up to 96 frame/s in 8-bit all-pixel scan mode. CSI-2 serial output is available in two- or four-lane configurations. All-pixel scan, 1/2 subsampling, 2 × 2 FD binning, and ROI modes support different readout strategies without changing the sensor platform. 

The IMX568-AAMJ is also IEC 61508 SIL 2 Ready certified. This is relevant to teams assessing components for SIL-rated safety applications, although system-level functional-safety compliance remains a design and validation responsibility.

A Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 safety function is expected to have a relatively low probability of failing dangerously when it is needed, according to IEC 61508.  It gives camera and system developers a documented sensor component to incorporate into their functional-safety engineering process. 

SIL 2 is common in applications where a failure could cause serious injury or significant equipment damage, such as  industrial process plants, chemical and oil & gas facilities, factory automation, railway signalling, power generation systems.
