Product Overview
The IMX123LQT‑C is a 1/2.8‑inch 3.21MP back‑illuminated CMOS image sensor adopting Sony Exmor‑R pixel architecture with improved near‑infrared sensitivity. Column‑parallel ADC delivers low‑noise and high dynamic‑range imaging. Full‑resolution runs up to 60fps; higher frame‑rate available under cropped window mode. Targeted for machine‑vision, dash‑cam, surveillance and embedded vision systems, packaged in ceramic LGA‑98 for stable thermal performance.
Core Advantages
3.21MP BSI Pixel with Enhanced NIR Response
Physical active array 2065 × 1553, 2.5 µm pixel, greatly improved near‑infrared sensitivity for low‑light and IR‑assisted imaging.
High‑Speed Progressive Scan Readout
60fps full‑pixel readout; higher frame rates available under cropped window modes for motion capture applications.
Exmor‑R Column‑Parallel Low‑Noise Architecture
On‑chip parallel ADC and noise reduction delivers high SNR and wide dynamic range under varying lighting conditions.
Multi‑Channel Sub‑LVDS High‑Speed Serial Output
Robust high‑bandwidth Sub‑LVDS interface, suitable for connecting to ISP or FPGA vision processing units.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the pixel resolution and optical format of IMX123LQT‑C?
A1: 1/2.8‑inch optical format, active array 2065 × 1553 (3.21MP), pixel size 2.5 µm.
Q2: What frame rate does IMX123LQT‑C support?
A2: 60fps full‑resolution; higher frame rates are available in cropped‑window readout mode.
Q3: What interface does IMX123LQT‑C adopt?
A3: Multi‑channel Sub‑LVDS, designed for ISP or FPGA image data transmission.
Q4: Difference between Ceramic LGA‑98 and CLCC‑98?
A4: Official name is Ceramic LGA‑98 with bottom‑side pads. CLCC‑98 is a market alias; true CLCC uses side castellated pads.
Q5: IMX123LQT‑C vs IMX124LQT‑C?
A5: Same LGA‑98 footprint. IMX123LQT‑C: rolling‑shutter, enhanced NIR. IMX124LQT‑C: global‑shutter. Not plug‑and‑play, driver modification required.
Q6: What does suffix ‑‑C mean?
A6: Suffix‑C represents ceramic LGA‑98 package. Different suffix stands for different screening grade, do not replace without PCB validation.
Q7: Can IMX123LQT‑C directly replace IMX122 series?
A7: Not drop‑in compatible. Pin assignment and power sequence differ, PCB layout and firmware need re‑validation.
Q8: Are there pin‑to‑pin alternative sensors?
A8: No direct pin‑compatible substitutes. Verify package, interface, NIR performance and firmware for alternative parts.
Q9: Where to get datasheet and quotation?
A9: Submit request via Quick Inquiry form for datasheet, reference design, stock and volume pricing.
