The VS6524 is manufactured in 0.18 µm ST CMOS imaging process. It integrates a high-sensitivity pixel array, a digital image processor and camera control functions. The VS6524 is capable of streaming VGA video up to 30 fps, with ITU-R BT.656-4 YUV 4:2:2 frame format. It supports both 1.8 V and 2.8 V interface and requires a 2.4 to 3.0 V analog power supply. Typically, the VS6524 can operate as a 2.8 V single supply camera or as a 1.8 V / 2.5 V supply camera. The integrated PLL allows for low frequency system clock, and flexibility for successful EMC integration. This complete camera module is ready to connect to camera enabled baseband processors, back-end IC devices or PDA engines. The VS6524 package uses the second generation of SmOP2 packaging technology where the sensor, passives and lens are assembled in a fully automated test and focus process, allowing high volume and low cost production.
