The IMX415-AAQR-C is a high-performance color CMOS image sensor manufactured by Sony. Featuring Sony STARVIS back-illuminated pixel technology, this sensor offers a 1/2.8-inch optical format and approximately 8.46 million effective pixels. It is designed for 4K imaging applications requiring high sensitivity, low dark current, and reliable image acquisition in various lighting conditions.
The IMX415-AAQR-C provides a recommended recording resolution of 3840 × 2160 pixels, delivering approximately 8.29 megapixels of 4K UHD image output. Its 1.45 × 1.45μm pixel architecture combines compact pixel dimensions with high light sensitivity, making it suitable for surveillance cameras, industrial cameras, and professional imaging systems.
Based on Sony STARVIS back-illuminated technology, the sensor provides high sensitivity and low-noise imaging performance. Its RGB primary color filter array supports color image acquisition, while its low dark current and reduced smear characteristics contribute to reliable image quality in visible-light and near-infrared imaging environments.
The sensor utilizes a rolling shutter architecture with an electronic shutter function and variable charge-integration time. It supports flexible exposure control, allowing camera developers to adjust image acquisition parameters according to different lighting conditions and application requirements.
The IMX415-AAQR-C supports 10-bit and 12-bit analog-to-digital conversion. In full-pixel scan mode at the recommended 3840 × 2160 resolution, the maximum frame rate reaches 60.3 frames per second in 12-bit mode and 90.9 frames per second in 10-bit mode, providing flexibility for high-resolution video and image processing applications.
The device incorporates high dynamic range (HDR) functions, including multiple-exposure HDR and digital-overlap HDR. These features help improve image capture in scenes with significant differences between bright and dark areas, making the sensor suitable for surveillance and other demanding imaging environments.
Additional image processing functions include correlated double sampling (CDS) and programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The sensor supports analog gain adjustment from 0dB to 30dB and combined analog and digital gain adjustment up to 72dB, providing flexible image signal amplification.
For high-speed image transmission, the IMX415-AAQR-C supports a MIPI CSI-2 serial output interface with selectable 2-lane or 4-lane configurations. It supports RAW10 and RAW12 output formats, allowing integration with compatible image signal processors (ISPs), application processors, and embedded vision platforms.
The sensor integrates timing adjustment circuitry, horizontal and vertical drivers, and serial communication functions, simplifying hardware integration into camera systems. It also supports all-pixel scanning, 2 × 2 horizontal and vertical binning, window cropping, and normal or inverted readout modes.
The IMX415-AAQR-C operates with three separate power supply domains: 2.9V analog power, 1.1V digital power, and 1.8V interface power. It supports input clock frequencies of 24MHz, 27MHz, 37.125MHz, 72MHz, and 74.25MHz.
The device comes in a 114-pin ceramic LGA package measuring approximately 12.0 × 9.3 × 1.52mm. Its compact package design makes it suitable for integration into professional surveillance cameras, industrial imaging equipment, and embedded camera systems.
The Sony IMX415-AAQR-C is suitable for 4K security cameras, surveillance systems, factory automation cameras, industrial inspection equipment, machine vision systems, and other professional imaging applications.
