The IMX117CQT-C is a high-resolution color CMOS image sensor manufactured by Sony Semiconductor Solutions. Featuring Sony Exmor R back-illuminated imaging technology, this sensor offers a 1/2.3-inch optical format and approximately 12.4 million effective pixels. It is designed for digital imaging applications requiring high-resolution image capture, fast readout performance, and excellent image quality.
The IMX117CQT-C features an effective pixel array of 4072 × 3046 pixels, delivering approximately 12.4 megapixels of image resolution. Its 1.55 × 1.55μm pixel structure combines compact pixel dimensions with advanced back-illuminated technology to improve light collection efficiency and imaging sensitivity.
Based on Sony Exmor R technology, the sensor adopts a back-illuminated pixel structure that enhances light-gathering performance and helps reduce image noise. Its optimized microlens design improves the acceptance angle of incident light, supporting better optical performance in compact camera systems and wide-angle imaging applications.
The sensor supports 10-bit and 12-bit analog-to-digital conversion, providing flexible image output options for different image processing requirements. In full-resolution mode, the sensor achieves a maximum readout rate of approximately 35 frames per second, enabling high-speed continuous still image capture.
The IMX117CQT-C also supports 4K video readout modes and high-frame-rate video acquisition. Selected cropped readout modes allow 4K video capture at higher frame rates, while additional HD readout modes support slow-motion imaging applications. Actual frame rates depend on the selected resolution, readout window, and ADC bit depth.
The device integrates high-performance column-parallel analog-to-digital conversion circuitry, correlated double sampling (CDS), and programmable gain amplifier (PGA) functions. Its analog gain adjustment capability reaches approximately 27dB, helping optimize image signal amplification under different lighting conditions.
The sensor provides a high-speed Sub-LVDS serial output interface for image data transmission. This interface supports high-bandwidth communication between the image sensor and compatible image processing circuits, making it suitable for digital cameras and embedded video recording systems.
Additional integrated functions include variable-speed electronic shutter control, flexible image readout modes, horizontal and vertical cropping, and on-chip horizontal and vertical driver circuits. These functions provide flexibility for camera developers when designing high-resolution still imaging and high-speed video recording products.
The IMX117CQT-C features a 98-pin high-precision ceramic LGA package, with a compact design suitable for integration into digital imaging equipment. Its low-power architecture and optimized optical characteristics make it a practical solution for compact consumer camera systems.
The Sony IMX117CQT-C is suitable for digital still cameras, action cameras, sports cameras, consumer camcorders, aerial imaging cameras, and other high-resolution video recording applications.
