Sony Ready 21MP Four Thirds Image Sensor Capable of Shooting Full Resolution 120fps Video

Sony Semiconductor Solutions has released specifications for a 21.46MP Four Thirds (21.77mm diagonal) CMOS sensor. At the moment, the IMX472-AAJK is the first known serial sensor with a multi-layer layout. It features a 27dB programmable gain amplifier, 12-bit A / D converter and 14-bit SLVS-EC scalable interface. This allowed for impressive opportunities.

So, in full resolution of 5280 x 3956 pixels with 12-bit representation, you can shoot at 121 fps. By choosing 10-bit representation, you can increase the frequency to 158.4 fps. By decreasing the resolution, you can also increase the frequency. So, when shooting with a resolution of 1760 x 1318 pixels, you can calculate not the frequencies of 358.7 fps and 465.7 fps with 12-bit and 10-bit data representation, respectively. The complete table of reading modes is shown below:

The sensor description says the AAJK variant is a Quad Bayer sensor. This does not exclude the possibility of releasing a version with a conventional Bayer filter. For packaging, we chose an LGA package with dimensions of 20.58 x 16.45 mm with 216 pins.
