IMX477-AACK-C

Description

IMX477-AACK-C is a diagonal 7.857 mm (Type 1/2.3) 12.3 Mega-pixel CMOS active pixel type stacked image

sensor with a square pixel array. It adopts Exmor RS™ technology to achieve high speed image capturing by column

parallel A/D converter circuits and high sensitivity and low noise image (comparing with conventional CMOS image

sensor) through the backside illuminated imaging pixel structure. R, G, and B pigment primary color mosaic filter is

employed. It equips an electronic shutter with variable integration time. It operates with three power supply voltages:

analog 2.8 V, digital 1.05 V and 1.8 V for input/output interface and achieves low power consumption.

In addition, this product is designed for use in consumer use camcorder. When using this for another application,

Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation does not guarantee the quality and reliability of product.

Therefore, don't use this for applications other than consumer use camcorder.

In addition, individual specification change cannot be supported because this is a standard product.

Consult your Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation sales representative if you have any questions.
