Overview
The Sony IMX947 is a large-format Type 2.5 global shutter CMOS image sensor in Sony's Pregius S family. Its 26.37 MP square array (5,136 × 5,136) of 5.48 µm pixels combines a 39.7 mm diagonal with up to 423 fps readout — a high-resolution, high-speed combination aimed at demanding industrial imaging.
Pregius S uses a back-illuminated, stacked pixel structure that keeps sensitivity and saturation capacity high while shrinking chip size, and the global shutter eliminates the rolling-shutter distortion that ruins moving-object images. The IMX947 sits alongside the IMX927/937 series in sharing the 2.5-inch optical format but with a distinct large-pixel architecture, and samples were scheduled from April 2026.
Key Benefits
26.37 MP at high speed: up to 423 fps (8-bit) full-frame for high-throughput inspection. Distortion-free: Pregius S global shutter freezes fast-moving objects. Compact large format: 39.7 mm Type 2.5 square in a 45 × 52 mm ceramic package. Flexible readout: selectable 8/10/12-bit output over SLVS-EC v3.1/v3.2.
Applications
Semiconductor and PCB inspection, high-speed 3D metrology, machine vision and robotics, factory automation, traffic and infrastructure monitoring, and industrial quality control.
