IMX179 diagonal 5.7 mm (1/3.2 type) CMOS camera image sensor

■IMX179 is a diagonal 5.7 mm (1/3.2 type) CMOS active pixel type image sensor with a square pixel array and 8.08M effective pixels. The chip uses three power supplies, analog 2.7 V, digital 1.2 V, and IF 1.8 V, with low power consumption. High sensitivity, low dark current, and no smearing are achieved by adopting R, G, and B primary color pigment mosaic filters. The chip has an electronic shutter with variable charge storage time.

■In addition, this product is designed for use in mobile phones and tablets. Sony does not guarantee the quality and reliability of the product when this product is used for other applications.
