Sony Pregius IMX304LLR-C is a Type 1.1, 12.37 MP monochrome CMOS image sensor for FA and ITS cameras. Its 3.45 µm square-pixel array provides a recommended recording resolution of 4096 × 3000 pixels, supporting detailed monochrome image acquisition in a 17.6 mm-diagonal optical format.
The sensor’s defining characteristic is its Pregius global-shutter pixel technology. Pregius uses a low-noise CCD structure in an active-pixel CMOS architecture and is designed to produce high-quality images with global-shutter operation. IMX304LLR-C also provides variable charge-integration time, so exposure control can be adapted to the acquisition requirements of the camera system.
Full-resolution all-pixel scan reaches 23.4 frame/s with 12-bit conversion. A vertical and horizontal 1/2 subsampling mode provides a 2048 × 1500-pixel output at 46.3 frame/s, while ROI mode supports selection of a required image area. These modes give camera designers alternatives between full field of view, reduced output resolution, and readout-area selection.
The sensor includes CDS, programmable analogue gain, digital gain, and low-voltage LVDS DDR serial output with four- or eight-channel operation. Its documented high sensitivity, low dark current, low PLS characteristics, and low power consumption support its intended industrial-camera use.
IMX304LLR-C supports monochrome image acquisition where a high-resolution Type 1.1 global-shutter sensor, variable integration time, and selectable readout modes are relevant design parameters. Its documented use in FA and ITS cameras makes it appropriate for systems that must combine detailed monochrome imaging with controlled exposure and industrial-camera interfaces.
