Libra 536 Global Shutter Mono CMOS Camera, 8.1 MP, 152 fps, 10 GigE
Libra 536Design Tools
An 8.1 MP global shutter camera with 10 GigE output for high-speed semiconductor and industrial inspection.
The Libra 536 uses the Sony IMX536 global shutter sensor (2856 × 2848, 2.74 µm pixels) and a 10 GigE interface to deliver full-resolution images at up to 152 fps. It is aimed at semiconductor production tasks such as wafer inspection and advanced packaging, and its compact 45 × 45 × 74.3 mm body simplifies instrument integration.
Key Features
- Sony IMX536 mono sensor with 72% peak QE at 470 nm; response extends from the visible into the near-infrared
- Full 8.1 MP resolution at 152 fps (8-bit) and 100 fps (10-bit and 12-bit)
- Global shutter prevents skew and blur on fast-moving parts, reducing false or missed defect detections
- 10 GigE gives stable, lossless transfer for multi-camera setups and long cable runs; PoE supported
- External hardware trigger (Hirose 12-pin) synchronizes exposure with stage motion in step-scan and continuous-transport lines
- Readout noise down to 1.4 e⁻ RMS and dynamic range up to 72 dB (12-bit)
- 1 µs timestamp accuracy; DSNU 0.38 e⁻, PRNU 0.52%
Typical Applications
- Wafer inspection
- Advanced packaging and chip-package defect inspection
- Material classification
- Slide scanning
- Life sciences imaging
