OMNIVISION OV07690-AL9A

OV7690 VGA product brief
available in
a lead-free
package
1/13 inch VGA CameraChip™ sensor with OmniPixel3™
technology
The OV7690 is the world's smallest single-chip,
high-performance VGA CameraChip image sensor,
with an optical format of only 1/13-inch . Using a
new generation of the OmniPixel3-HS™ (High
Sensitivity) architecture, the OV7690 offers
improved signal-to-noise ratio and unparalleled
light sensitivity.
The OV7690's unique, non-linear micro lens shift
technology, coupled with the newly developed
CSP3 packaging technology, frees product
designers to develop unique, slim devices
incorporating VGA sensors.
This technology allows for ultra-thin camera modules with a
single plastic lens design of just 4.5 x 4.5 x 3.17 mm, a critical
characteristic for slim camera phones and notebook
applications where camera modules can be no thicker than the
LCD housing.
Integrating image processing functions on-chip, the lowvoltage OV7690 image sensor provides the full functionality
of a 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 OV7690 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 OV7690 delivers low-noise, low-cost,
low-power consumption, high integration, wide dynamic range
and excellent low-light performance.
