Introduction: As the era of the Internet of Everything (IoE) continues to advance, whether serving as the “sharp eyes” of industrial automation, the “night vision” of security surveillance, or the “safety eyes” of autonomous driving, the performance of CMOS image sensors (CIS) directly determines the limits of a device’s perception capabilities. As a leading supplier of electronic components, MJD Electronics now offers a full range of Sony Semiconductor’s latest three flagship image sensor chips: the IMX927, IMX908, and IMX828.
These three chips represent Sony’s latest technological breakthroughs in high-precision industrial inspection, ultra-low-light security, and integrated automotive SerDes, respectively. Below is a detailed product overview and supply information.
I. The Heart of Industrial Inspection: Sony IMX927 — The 100-Megapixel Global Shutter “Eye of Industry”
Against the backdrop of Industry 4.0, the demands for resolution and speed in AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) equipment are becoming increasingly stringent. Sony’s IMX927 is currently the industry-leading global shutter CMOS image sensor, and MJD now offers both sample and volume supply channels.
Key Technical Breakthroughs
100-Megapixel Resolution: The IMX927 features approximately 105 million effective pixels (10,272 x 10,272) with a pixel size of 2.74μm, enabling it to capture extremely minute defects and meet the high-precision demands of display manufacturing and semiconductor wafer inspection.
Pregius S™ Global Shutter Technology: Unlike traditional rolling shutters, the global shutter ensures that all pixels are exposed simultaneously. When capturing fast-moving objects on a production line, it completely eliminates the “jelly effect” and image distortion, enabling precise, blur-free capture.
100 fps High-Speed Output: Even at resolutions as high as 100 million pixels, it achieves a maximum output of 100 fps (10-bit), thanks to its stacked structure and highly efficient drive circuitry, significantly reducing cycle times for precision inspection.
Flexible Output and Thermal Management: Supports the SLVS-EC high-speed interface and features a new connector-equipped ceramic package, facilitating module disassembly and thermal design, thereby accelerating the development cycle of high-end cameras.
Application Scenarios
Flat Panel Display (FPD) pixel inspection
Semiconductor chip appearance inspection
High-end aerial photography and digital pathology scanning
II. A Powerhouse for Security Surveillance: Sony IMX908 — The “King of Night Vision” with STARVIS 3 Technology
Addressing the challenges faced by urban security systems and dashcams in extremely low-light environments, Sony has launched the IMX908. This chip marks the first time advanced LOFIC technology has been integrated into a compact 1/2.8-inch package, delivering a significant leap in image quality. Mingjiada is now supplying this core component to security manufacturers.
Core Technology Breakthroughs
STARVIS 3™ and LOFIC Technology: The IMX908 features ultra-small 1.45μm pixels and incorporates LOFIC (Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor) technology. This enables a dynamic range of up to 96dB in a single exposure, allowing it to clearly capture both the details of backlit faces and highlights in the background without the artifacts caused by multi-frame synthesis.
Unparalleled Low-Light Performance: It delivers clear color images even in starlight conditions as low as 0.53 lx. By leveraging a back-illuminated structure and deep photodiodes, it significantly enhances sensitivity in the near-infrared spectrum, meeting the demands of 24/7 surveillance.
4K Resolution and Compact Size: Supports 4K resolution output while maintaining an optical size of 1/2.8 inches, helping OEMs design security cameras that are smaller and more discreet.
Suitable Applications
Smart building and city surveillance systems
High-end dashcams (especially for nighttime license plate recognition)
Intelligent transportation systems and access control
III. Breakthrough in Intelligent Driving: Sony IMX828 — The “In-Vehicle Transmission Revolution” with Integrated A-PHY
As smart cars advance toward advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), the number of cameras is surging, posing size and cost challenges for traditional discrete SerDes architectures. With its innovative integrated design, the Sony IMX828 offers the industry a brand-new solution. Mingjiada is currently accepting pre-orders for this chip to help automakers reduce costs and improve efficiency.
Core Technology Breakthroughs
Built-in MIPI A-PHY Interface: The IMX828 is the world’s first automotive-grade sensor with built-in SerDes functionality. It directly outputs A-PHY signals, eliminating the need for an external serializer chip. This not only reduces the camera module’s size by approximately 20% but also lowers BOM costs and simplifies wiring complexity.
150dB Ultra-High Dynamic Range: Even in scenarios with drastic changes in lighting, such as entering or exiting tunnels, or when facing the flickering of LED traffic lights, the IMX828 delivers high-precision image reproduction. Its unique pixel structure significantly improves LED overexposure issues, preventing misidentification of red traffic lights as yellow.
Ultra-Low Power Parking Monitoring: Equipped with a proprietary “Parking Monitoring Mode,” it operates at less than 100mW while detecting moving objects at a low frame rate. Upon detecting an anomaly, it immediately wakes up the ECU and switches to full-resolution recording, addressing range anxiety in new energy vehicles.
Applicable Scenarios
ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) perception cameras
Electronic rearview mirrors and surround-view systems
Perception suites for Level 2+ and higher autonomous driving
