The IMX334LQR-C is a high-performance color CMOS image sensor manufactured by Sony Semiconductor Solutions. Featuring Sony STARVIS back-illuminated pixel technology, this sensor offers a 1/1.8-inch optical format and approximately 8.42 million effective pixels. It is designed for high-resolution imaging applications requiring excellent sensitivity, low dark current, and reliable image acquisition.
The IMX334LQR-C features an effective pixel array of 3864 × 2180 pixels, delivering approximately 8.42 megapixels. Its recommended recording resolution is 3840 × 2160 pixels, providing approximately 8.29 megapixels of 4K UHD image output. The sensor adopts a 2.0 × 2.0μm pixel structure, combining high-resolution imaging with advanced back-illuminated technology.
Based on Sony STARVIS technology, the sensor provides high sensitivity, low dark current, and reduced smear characteristics. Its RGB primary color filter array supports accurate color image reproduction and high-quality imaging in both visible-light and near-infrared environments. These characteristics make it suitable for security surveillance, industrial inspection, and professional imaging applications.
The IMX334LQR-C supports full-pixel scanning at a maximum frame rate of 60 frames per second with 12-bit output. It also supports horizontal and vertical 2 × 2 line binning, allowing 1920 × 1080 image output at up to 120fps in 10-bit mode. These flexible readout configurations provide different options for high-resolution video recording and high-speed image acquisition.
The sensor incorporates high dynamic range (HDR) functions, including multiple-exposure HDR and digital-overlap HDR. These technologies help capture image details in scenes with significant brightness differences, improving visibility in both bright and dark areas. This makes the device particularly suitable for surveillance cameras and industrial imaging systems operating under variable lighting conditions.
The device supports 10-bit and 12-bit analog-to-digital conversion, providing flexible image output options for different image processing requirements. Its correlated double sampling (CDS) and programmable gain amplifier (PGA) functions help optimize image signal quality and improve imaging performance under different illumination conditions.
The IMX334LQR-C integrates programmable gain adjustment from 0dB to 72dB. The gain range includes up to 30dB analog gain and additional digital gain from 0.3dB to 42dB, providing flexible signal amplification for different camera designs.
For high-speed image transmission, the sensor supports a MIPI CSI-2 serial output interface with selectable 4-lane and 8-lane configurations. It supports RAW10 and RAW12 image output formats, enabling high-bandwidth communication with compatible image signal processors (ISPs), application processors, and embedded vision platforms.
Additional integrated functions include variable-speed electronic shutter control, all-pixel scanning, horizontal and vertical 2 × 2 binning, window cropping, normal and inverted readout modes, built-in timing adjustment circuitry, horizontal and vertical drivers, and serial communication functions. These features simplify camera system integration and provide flexibility for image acquisition design.
The IMX334LQR-C operates with three separate power supply domains: 2.9V analog power, 1.2V digital power, and 1.8V interface power. It supports input clock frequencies of 6MHz to 27MHz, 37.125MHz, and 74.25MHz, providing flexible timing configurations for different camera systems.
The device is housed in a 128-pin ceramic LGA package measuring approximately 15.0 × 12.5mm. It supports an operating temperature range of -30°C to +85°C, with a performance guarantee temperature range of -10°C to +60°C.
The Sony IMX334LQR-C is suitable for 4K security cameras, CCTV surveillance systems, industrial cameras, factory automation equipment, machine vision systems, traffic monitoring devices, and other professional imaging applications.
