With the advancement of Industry 4.0 and high-end smart manufacturing, the demands placed on image sensors by machine vision have reached unprecedented levels. Sony’s new-generation Pregius S series CMOS image sensors, the IMX928-AMB (monochrome) and IMX928-AQB (color), are redefining the standards for Automated Optical Inspection (AOI), 3D measurement, and high-end surveillance with their ultra-high resolution, global shutter technology, and advanced back-illuminated pixel structure.
As a well-known supplier of electronic components in the industry, Shenzhen Mingjiada Electronics Co., Ltd. is supplying these two genuine, in-stock chips in bulk worldwide and simultaneously purchasing related inventory at premium prices.
I. Key Technical Highlights: Pregius S and 2.74μm Pixels
The IMX928 series belongs to Sony’s advanced Pregius S technology platform, combining the advantages of global shutter and back-illuminated (BSI) structures.
In the past, industrial cameras had to compromise between high resolution and high frame rates, but the IMX928 breaks this limitation. It features a large 2.0-inch optical format with a diagonal length of 31.9 mm and a physical pixel size of 2.74μm x 2.74μm.
Thanks to the 2.74μm fine-pitch process, the sensor significantly reduces chip area and power consumption while maintaining high sensitivity. This makes it an ideal replacement for older, larger-pixel-size sensors.
II. Parameter Comparison Between IMX928-AMB and IMX928-AQB
To meet the needs of different application scenarios, Sony has launched two versions: monochrome and color:
IMX928-AMB: Designed specifically for monochrome cameras, it omits the Bayer array filter to directly capture full-spectrum light signals, offering the highest light utilization and resolution performance.
IMX928-AQB: Equipped with an RGB Bayer array (color filter), suitable for applications requiring color reproduction, such as electronic component recognition and visual inspection.
Below are the core specifications for both chips:
Model: IMX928-AMB (Monochrome) / IMX928-AQB (Color)
Effective Resolution: 8256 (H) x 8256 (V) approx. 68 million pixels
Sensor Size: 2.0 inches (31.9 mm diagonal)
Pixel Size: 2.74 µm x 2.74 µm
Shutter Type: Global Shutter — No motion blur
Frame Rate: Up to 138.9 fps at full resolution (8-bit)
Output Interface: SLVS-EC (supports 2/4/6/8-lane configurations)
Power Consumption: Approx. 5.9W
Package: Ceramic package with connector, sealed glass with AR anti-reflective coating
III. Frame Rate and Readout Speed: The Engine of High-Speed Industrial Inspection
For automated equipment, “speed” equals productivity. The IMX928 series delivers astonishing speed even at its full resolution of 68 million pixels.
The IMX928’s frame rate performance at different bit depths is as follows:
8-bit output: Up to approximately 138.9 frames per second (maximum speed, suitable for real-time monitoring)
10-bit output: Up to approximately 126.8 frames per second
12-bit output: Up to approximately 90.6 frames per second
This performance is made possible by its high-speed SLVS-EC interface. Compared to traditional LVDS or MIPI interfaces, SLVS-EC not only offers faster data transfer speeds but also significantly reduces PCB routing complexity and power consumption.
IV. Application Scenarios: Which High-End Devices Is It Suitable For?
Thanks to its combination of “high resolution” and “global shutter” capabilities, the IMX928 series is widely used in the following high-end industrial sectors:
Semiconductor and Electronics Manufacturing Inspection (AOI/AVI): On high-speed placement or sorting machines, the 68-megapixel resolution allows for a single-shot coverage of larger PCB boards while clearly identifying minute solder joint defects, thereby preventing missed inspections.
Large-Format Display Inspection: For pixel inspection of smartphone screens or even TV panels, the high resolution enables high-precision imaging without the need to reposition the camera.
3D Cameras and Measurement: When paired with laser line scanning, the global shutter ensures that moving objects do not distort, generating precise 3D point cloud data.
Life Sciences and Sports Analysis: Capturing details of biological samples or athletes’ movements during high-speed motion.
