The IMX577-AACK-C is a high-resolution color CMOS image sensor manufactured by Sony Semiconductor Solutions. Featuring Sony Exmor RS stacked back-illuminated CMOS technology, this sensor offers a 1/2.3-inch optical format and approximately 12.33 million active pixels. It is designed for high-resolution digital imaging applications requiring fast image capture, high sensitivity, and advanced image processing capabilities.
The IMX577-AACK-C features an active resolution of 4056 × 3040 pixels, delivering approximately 12.33 megapixels of image output. Its effective pixel count is approximately 12.47 million, while the total pixel count reaches approximately 12.93 million. With a 1.55 × 1.55μm pixel structure, the sensor combines compact dimensions with back-illuminated imaging technology to achieve high sensitivity and low-noise image performance.
Based on Sony Exmor RS stacked CMOS technology, the sensor integrates a back-illuminated pixel structure and column-parallel analog-to-digital conversion circuits. This architecture enables high-speed image acquisition while maintaining reliable image quality. Its RGB primary color filter array supports accurate color image reproduction for digital video and photography applications.
The IMX577-AACK-C supports full-resolution imaging at up to 60 frames per second in 10-bit mode and 43 frames per second in 12-bit mode. It also supports 4K2K high-resolution video capture and high-speed 1080p imaging at up to 240 frames per second in binning mode, making it suitable for applications requiring high-resolution recording and high-frame-rate video acquisition.
The sensor incorporates Digital Overlap High Dynamic Range (DOL-HDR) technology, which combines multiple exposures with different integration times to improve image details in scenes with significant brightness variations. It supports two-frame and three-frame HDR configurations, with full-resolution HDR frame rates of up to 30fps and 15fps, respectively.
The device supports 10-bit and 12-bit on-chip analog-to-digital conversion, together with RAW12, RAW10, RAW8, and COMP8 output formats. These options provide flexibility for image processing and compatibility with different video processing architectures.
For high-speed image transmission, the IMX577-AACK-C integrates a MIPI CSI-2 serial output interface supporting selectable 2-lane and 4-lane configurations. The interface supports transmission rates of up to 2.1Gbps per lane and complies with MIPI D-PHY version 1.2 specifications, enabling integration with compatible image signal processors (ISPs) and embedded processing platforms.
Additional integrated functions include defect pixel correction (DPC), an ambient light sensor (ALS), a built-in temperature sensor, user-programmable OTP memory, and low-power streaming modes. The sensor also supports pixel binning, vertical subsampling, window scanning, independent image flipping and mirroring, and dual-sensor synchronization.
The IMX577-AACK-C operates with three independent power supply domains: 2.8V analog power, 1.05V digital power, and 1.8V interface power. Its input clock frequency ranges from 6MHz to 27MHz, providing flexibility for camera system timing and hardware design.
The device is housed in a 92-pin high-precision ceramic LGA package measuring approximately 10.70 × 8.50mm. It is designed for compact digital camera and consumer camcorder applications requiring high-resolution imaging and advanced video capture capabilities.
The Sony IMX577-AACK-C provides a combination of 12.3MP imaging, Exmor RS stacked CMOS technology, high-speed 4K video capture, and DOL-HDR functionality. It is a specialized image sensor for compatible digital imaging and consumer video camera designs.
