CMOS Image Sensors with Global Shutter Function for Industrial Use
In such cases where a high-speed moving subject is to be
shot with standard CMOS Image sensors, flash band phenomenon will occur and it might be a problem especially for thefields of ITS (Intelligent Traffic Systems) use. The new sensors
feature a global shutter function and able to capture a highspeed moving image without focal plane distortion.

pixel-type CMOS image sensors that use Sony's low-noise CCD structure, and realizes high picture
quality.

Global Shutter Function
For industrial use, it is required to capture the exact shape of ahigh-speed moving subject. The existing CMOS image sensors
have a rolling shutter as the electronic shutter function; therefore, flash band phenomenon was inevasible in principle. (Seephotograph 1.) A new pixel with analog memory was developed for the IMX249LLJ/LQJ and eliminated generation of thefocal plane distortion by enabling to scan all pixel signals atonce (referred to as "global shutter function" below). Thesensors accomplished high-picture quality combining with thecolumn-parallel A/D conversion technology used for theexisting Sony's CMOS Image sensors. (See photograph 2.)

Trigger Mode
The IMX249LLJ/LQJ are equipped with trigger mode, and theexternal pulse can control accumulation time. The sensors
also have a pulse output function to indicate respective condi-tions during shutter operation and can be coordinated with
peripheral circuits.

A Variety of Operating Modes
The IMX249LLJ/LQJ have internal register settings which canswitch vertical scan direction (normal/inverted) of the sensors
and support 2 frame set output mode utilizing high-speed frame
rate. In this 2 frame set output mode, separate exposure time
can be set for 2 consecutive frames, and each set of 2 frames

can be handled as 1 set to automatically output consecutive
images. This mode can generate a picture with a wide dynamic
range as a result of the combination of multiple frames. Also thesensors support all-pixel scan (WUXGA) and full HD scanmode as the image data output format.
