1/6 inch VGA CameraChip for ultra-thin camera modules
With a footprint of only 1/6 square inch, the OV7670
is one of the smallest VGA sensors in mass
production today. Based on a 3.6 μm pixel
architecture, the OV7670 enables ultra thin camera
modules of just 6 x 6 x 4.1 mm. This is a critical
characteristic for slim camera phones and notebook
applications since the camera modules can to be no
thicker than the LCD housing.
Also important in enabling such thin modules is that the OV7670
allows module designs to move to a 2-plastic lens design.
Additionally, the OV7670’s unique non-linear micro lens shift
technology allows for a reduction in the distance between sensor
and lens, shrinking the module even further without loss of image
quality or camera performance.
The OV7670 employs OmniVision’s proprietary OmniPixel®
architecture, which significantly increases signal-to-noise ratio
and delivers exceptional low-light performance. Operating at a
low voltage, the OV7670 image sensor provides the full
functionality of a single chip VGA camera and image processor
in a small footprint package, This includes full-frame, sub-sampled
or windowed 8-bit images in a wide range of formats controlled
through a serial camera control bus (SCCB) interface.
The OV7670 can operate at 30 frames per second (fps) in VGA
with full user control over image quality, formatting and output
data transfer. As part of OmniVision’s next generation of image
sensors, the OV7670 delivers low-noise, low-cost, low-power
consumption, high integration, wide dynamic range and excellent
low-light performance.
