CMOS image sensor is cost-efficient, ultrathin camera module solution for entry level camera phones, secondary cameras for 3G handsets and integrated notebook cameras.
The OV7680 features a novel nonlinear microlens shift technology that significantly reduces the distance between the sensor and the lens and consequently enables the height of the camera module to be reduced to just 2.5mm without compromising quality or performance.
The OV7680 can operate at 30 frames per second in VGA resolution making it especially well suited for video conferencing, whether as the secondary camera in 3G phones or as the primary camera in PC notebooks.
The OV7680 single-chip, high performance VGA CameraChip sensor incorporates a 2.2um pixel size built on OmniPixel2 technology for maximum sensitivity and excellent low light performance.
The new VGA image sensor delivers low noise, low power consumption, a wide dynamic range and enables a module size of just 4.5 x 4.5 x 2.5mm, dimensions that allow for a single element plastic lens design.
