Diagonal 6.46 mm (Type 1/2.8) CMOS Solid-state Image Sensor with Square Pixel for 
Color Cameras 
 
 
IMX307LQR-C 
 
Description 
The IMX307LQR-C is a diagonal 6.46 mm (Type 1/2.8) CMOS active pixel type solid-state image sensor with a 
square pixel array and 2.13 M effective pixels. This chip operates with analog 2.9 V, digital 1.2 V, and interface 1.8 V 
triple power supply, and has low power consumption. High sensitivity, low dark current and no smear are achieved 
through the adoption of R, G and B primary color mosaic filters. This chip features an electronic shutter with variable 
charge-integration time. 
(Applications: Surveillance cameras, FA cameras, Industrial cameras)
