With the rapid development of AIoT and autonomous driving, market demand for high-definition, low-light image sensors has exploded. As a leading supplier of electronic components, Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Mingjiada Electronics”) has announced that it has stocked Sony’s highly anticipated new product—the IMX678-AAQR1-G CMOS image sensor.
I. Product Introduction
The IMX678-AAQR1-G is Sony’s second-generation STARVIS 2 starlight-level color CMOS image sensor. It features a 1/1.8-inch optical format (8.86 mm diagonal), 8.4 million effective pixels, and native 4K@48fps output, and is specifically designed for ultra-low-light, high dynamic range, and high-definition security and industrial vision applications.
Featuring back-illuminated (BSI) technology and 2.0μm large pixels, combined with Sony’s Clear HDR and ultra-low-noise circuitry, its night vision capability is approximately 2.5 times better than the previous generation. It achieves a dynamic range of over 140dB during the day, ensuring clear details in both bright and dark areas. The model suffix -G indicates standard tape-and-reel or tray packaging of genuine original products. Mingjiada Electronics offers brand-new, genuine stock.
