Sony IMX06A-AJ1R-J and IMX06A-AMR-J

Sony IMX06A

The Sony IMX06A-AJ1R-J and IMX06A-AMR-J is a Type 1/0.98 rolling shutter CMOS image sensor with approximately 50 MP effective resolution in a 4:3 format and a 1.6 µm unit cell. It targets industrial color and monochrome cameras that need high detail, low noise, and strong sensitivity in limited light. A MIPI CSI 2 interface simplifies connection to common ISPs and SoCs.

 

 

Highlights

  • High resolution in the 1 inch class for wide field inspection and precise measurement, ~50 MP
  • Low noise and high sensitivity to preserve detail and color when illumination is limited
  • MIPI CSI 2 output for straightforward system integration
  • Designed for industrial use with Sony rolling shutter lineage and ecosystem support

Target Applications

  • Factory automation and machine vision inspection
  • Line-scan replacement in tiled or stitched capture
  • Precision robotics and large-field metrology
  • Scientific and industrial imaging where monochrome fidelity is required

 

Features

  • Rolling shutter, back illuminated pixel architecture for sensitivity and low noise
  • Effective pixels: approximately 50 MP, 4:3 aspect, Type 1/0.98, 1.6 µm unit cell
  • MIPI CSI 2 interface; on chip features include re mosaic support per Sony materials
  • Frame rate reference: about 15 fps class over D PHY for reference, mode dependent

 

 

Evaluation and design support

 

We can help you from sensor to solution with evaluation planning, driver and MIPI bring up guidance, ISP presets, optics selection help, and bridges to common SoCs and FPGAs. We can size bandwidth, buffer, and storage needs for your scene and recommend a fast path to first image.

What problems does IMX06A solve in inspection cameras?

It delivers high pixel count in a compact optical size so systems capture more detail without enlarging optics or working distance.

 

Is IMX06A suitable for low-light scenes?

Yes. The back-illuminated pixel design and low-noise pipeline support cleaner images when illumination is limited.

 

Which interface does IMX06A use?

It outputs over MIPI CSI 2, making it straightforward to integrate with embedded ISPs and common SoCs.

 

How should I size frame rate and bandwidth?

Start from your exposure and line time targets, then validate bit depth and lane configuration. Confirm the final fps in Sony documentation.

 

Do you support bring up and ISP tuning?

Yes. Macnica provides driver guidance, ISP presets, optics recommendations, and integration help from sensor to solution.
