ultimate 1/4 inch camera-on-a-chip
The OV9655 CameraChip™ is a quarter inch, lowvoltage SXGA (1.3 MegaPixel) CMOS image sensor
that offers the full functionality of a camera and
image processor on a single chip, making it especially
suitable for mobile applications.
The OV9655 is built on OmniVision’s proprietary
OmniPixel® architecture which is a guarantee for
excellent image quality because it reduces or
eliminates common sources of image contamination
such as fixed pattern noise and smearing to produce
a clean, fully stable color image. OmniPixel’s unique
pixel architecture also offers a high signal-to-noise
ratio, enabling the OV9655 to perform exceptionally
well in low-light conditions.
The OV9655 supports image sizes SXGA(1280 x 1024), VGA and
any size scaling down from VGA to 40x30. It provides full-frame,
sub-sampled, scaled or windowed 8-bit/10-bit images in a wide
range of formats controlled through a serial camera control bus
(SCCB) interface. The image array is capable of operating at up
to 30 frames per second (fps) in VGA and 15 fps in full mode with
complete user control over image quality, formatting and output
data transfer. All required image processing functions, including
exposure control, gamma, white balance, color saturation, hue
control, white pixel canceling and noise reduction are
programmable through the SCCB interface. The OV9655 also
integrates an LCD scaler and strobe controller.
