Smaller Pixels and Improved Picture Quality
Due to the strong desires for module miniaturization in the cameras included in cellular phones, it is necessary to reduce the pixel size when increasing the pixel count.
Faster Operation
The IMX020 adopts Sony's unique column-parallel A/D conversion technique that is optimal for increasing operating speeds. Sony also introduced their unique two-channel data strobe type sub-LVDS serial interface, which allows applications to read out the 10 bits per pixel output at 864 Mbps (a pixel rate of 86.4 MHz). Despite the large number of pixels, 5M pixels, this allows the IMX020 top operate at 15 frame/s in progressive scan mode and to achieve the high speed of 120 frame/s in 1/8 decimation mode, which is equivalent to QVGA output mode.
Extensive Set of Solutions
To respond to our customer's diverse needs, Sony provides solutions in a variety of forms as IMX020-related products.
• Independent sensor
• IU020 series (lens modules): sensor + optical system
• MCB990 series (camera modules): sensor + camera DSP + optical system
These lens and camera modules use a lens optimized for the IMX020 and achieve miniaturization, high resolution, and low shading.
