Sony IMX925 series: Pushing the Limits of Speed and Imaging Quality

SONY IMX925 series

SONY has once again raised the bar for high-performance imaging with the release of the IMX925/IMX935 and IMX926/IMX936 global shutter sensors.

 

These sensors are engineered to deliver unprecedented speed and image quality, revolutionizing industries that require fast and precise image capture.

 

By combining cutting-edge technology with high-speed data transfer capabilities, Sony is paving the way for a new era of imaging solutions that will empower industries to achieve greater efficiency and accuracy.

 

 

IMX925: Features That Make a Difference

The IMX925 series brings powerful imaging capabilities, combining speed, resolution, and efficiency for a wide range of applications. Key features include:

  • High-Speed Imaging and Power efficiency

Driven by a new circuit structure, the IMX925 series reaches 394 fps at 24.5 MP, delivering high-speed imaging while doubling power efficiency compared to the previous model.

  • High-Resolution in a Compact Design

The IMX925 series, featuring Sony's Pregius S back-illuminated pixels, achieves 24.5 MP resolution in a compact size, with 2.74 µm pixels that enable integration into smaller devices without compromising performance.

  • Powerful Interface and Functions

With the IMX925 series, users benefit from high-speed data transfer through SLVS-EC, a 1-shot HDR function that extends dynamic range, multiple binning modes to boost sensitivity and speed, and color subsampling for precise color and wavelength-specific imaging.

 

 

Behind the Innovation: Cutting-Edge Technologies

The IMX925 includes advanced technologies that optimize its performance, such as:

  • Global Shutter Technology Pregius™ / Pregius S™
    Sony's Pregius™ and Pregius S™ technologies use a global shutter for distortion-free imaging across the entire frame.

The back-illuminated design improves light collection, while the compact pixel size enables higher resolution in smaller modules.

This combination of high-speed imaging and low noise makes it perfect for high-quality, precise applications like machine vision, surveillance, and automotive.

  • High-Speed Interface SLVS-EC™
    The SLVS-EC™ interface facilitates ultra-fast data transfer, supporting speeds of up to 12.5 Gbps per lane.

This high-speed interface enables the IMX925 series to handle high-resolution imaging at rapid frame rates, making it suitable for demanding applications in fields like robotics, automation, and scientific imaging.
