The MC511DB is a quarter-inch optical format 1.3Mpixel (1280 x 1024) CMOS sensor that enables modules as small as 8 x 8 x 5mm.

MagnaChip Semiconductor has begun shipping its MC511DB, 1.3Mpixel quarter-inch CMOS image sensor SoC for use in toys The MC511DB is a quarter-inch optical format 1.3Mpixel (1280 x 1024) CMOS sensor that enables modules as small as 8 x 8 x 5mm

This small form factor, together with support for a single 2.8V power supply and low power consumption, allows OEMs to address the substantial market requirement for slim and low cost designs.

This product offers on-the-fly bad pixel correction, positional lens vignetting correction, noise cancellation filters, and intelligent auto white balance with flash support, among other features.

In addition, the low noise 11bit analogue to digital convertor architecture and excellent low light sensitivity makes this product ideal for video applications and those requiring high quality imaging at low ambient light levels.

According to MagnaChip President Robert Krakauer: "MagnaChip's expansion to the toy market demonstrates continued momentum in our imaging business as we expand into new areas".

"Our expansion into the toy market is part of MagnaChip's overall strategy to leverage its imaging technology and systems level expertise to extend its product and service offerings into adjacent end markets".

"Our investment in advanced pixel technologies, along with our custom fabrication processes for CMOS sensors ensure that we deliver leading image quality".

"This expansion is timely, as demand for high resolution image display toys continues to be strong".
