Sony Unveils Revolutionary 394FPS Industrial Image Sensor for 2025

Tokyo, Japan - Sony Semiconductor Solutions announced plans to release a new industrial image sensor featuring high-speed processing capabilities and increased pixel count to enhance factory automation processes.

The IMX925 stacked CMOS image sensor, scheduled for sample shipment in May 2025, will offer processing speeds of up to 394 frames per second and 24.55 effective megapixels, marking a fourfold increase in processing speed compared to conventional products.

The new sensor employs the company's proprietary Pregius S global shutter technology and features a back-illuminated pixel structure. 

It enables high-quality imaging in a compact design compatible with C-mount standards.

Sony Semiconductor Solutions will simultaneously release three additional models with varying sensor sizes and frame rates, expanding its industrial equipment portfolio. 

The new lineup includes the IMX935, IMX926, and IMX936 models, all of which are scheduled for a May 2025 sample shipment.

The sensors utilize Sony's SLVS-EC high-speed interface, which supports data transmission up to 12.5 Gbps per lane. 

This enables higher camera precision and speed while requiring fewer data lanes.

According to the company, the new models' power consumption is twice as efficient as that of conventional products, potentially reducing operational costs in industrial applications.

The compact design maintains a high pixel count within a C-mount-compatible 1.2-type size, featuring 2.74 µm pixels that deliver high sensitivity and saturation capacity.
