Sony IMX990 · 1.31072MP 1/2" global-shutter CMOS image sensor

IMX990 Sensor Specifications & Compatible M12 and C-Mount Lenses

IMX990 image sensor

The Sony IMX990 has 1280x1024 pixels at 5µm pitch. The InGaAs sensor covers visible and short-wave infrared wavelengths from 400 to 1700nm. Confirm lens transmission, focus, and coatings at the application wavelength; standard visible or near-infrared lens specifications are insufficient. Dimensions are calculated from the Sony recommended recording window: 6.4x5.12mm, with a diagonal of 8.196mm.

Lens selection for the IMX990

A calculated lens table is not available for this sensor. Confirm the sensor's active readout area with the manufacturer, then contact our engineers for a lens match.

How to choose a lens for the IMX990

Start from the field of view and working distance your application needs. Confirm that the lens image circle covers the active sensor diagonal and that the mount provides the required focus travel and rear clearance. A lens megapixel rating alone does not establish resolution on this sensor. Compare measured MTF at the spatial frequencies your task needs, at the intended aperture, wavelength, distance, and field position, accounting for the 5.0 µm pixel pitch. Estimate framing with the Commonlands field of view calculator.

Sourcing a camera module around the IMX990? Commonlands manufactures M12 lenses and C-mount lenses and ships from San Diego, with same-day shipping on in-stock lenses ordered before 12 PM PST. We also design and build custom MIPI CSI-2 camera modules that integrate the lens, the IMX990 sensor, and the carrier board, available from 1,000 units per year, and assemble consigned IMX990 boards with Commonlands lenses in our San Diego ISO 6 cleanroom from 100 to 100,000 units per year. Talk to an applications engineer.

IMX990 lens and camera module FAQ

What lens fits the IMX990 sensor?

A lens match requires sufficient image-circle coverage, suitable MTF, and mechanical clearance. Contact our engineers with the sensor's active dimensions, pixel pitch, required field of view, and working distance.

What is the IMX990 sensor size?

The IMX990 is a 1/2" format sensor with a 6.4 × 5.12 mm active area and a 8.196 mm diagonal, built on 5.0 µm pixels at 1280x1024 resolution.

Does Commonlands build a custom MIPI camera module for the IMX990?

Yes. Commonlands designs and builds custom MIPI CSI-2 camera modules that integrate the lens, the IMX990 sensor, and the carrier board, available from 1,000 units per year with active lens-to-sensor alignment and 100% MTF testing. Consigned assembly of your IMX990 boards with Commonlands lenses runs from 100 to 100,000 units per year in our San Diego ISO 6 cleanroom. Talk to an applications engineer to scope a module.
