OV7949 NTSC/PAL product brief high-performance automotive CameraChip™ sensor available in a lead-free package The newly enhanced OV7949 advanced CMOS CameraChip sensor is designed specifically for automotive imaging applications for driver assistance and safety systems. The 1/3 inch, highly integrated OV7949 video camera packs a high level of functionality with a brand new design specifically engineered to excel in low light conditions (<0.01 lux) and operate within a wide temperature range from -40° to +85°C, which is critical for automotive use. Combined with its significantly reduced blooming and smearing effects, the OV7949 can easily compete with more expensive CCD solutions. In the fast growing market for automotive cameras, the OV7949 image sensor is the most cost efficient high-performance solution for applications requiring a color video camera with a small footprint, low voltage, low power consumption and excellent low-light performance. The OV7949 supports NTSC/PAL composite video output and can directly interface with an in-car LCD screen or other device with 75 Ohm loading. The OV7949 has completed all required AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualifications.
