OV7680VGA
1/10 inch VGA image sensor for low cost,
ultra-slim camera phones
available in
a lead-free
package
The OV7680 employs OmniVision’s proprietary OmniPixel2
The OV7680 is a single-chip, high-performance VGA
image sensor with an optical format of 1/10 inch.
Using a 2.2 μm x 2.2 μm pixel built on OmniPixel2™
technology, the OV7680 enables ultra thin camera
modules of just 4.5 x 4.5 x 3.17 mm. This is a critical
characteristic for slim camera phones and notebook
applications where the camera module can be no
thicker than the LCD housing.
architecture, which significantly increases signal-to-noise
ratio and delivers exceptional low-light performance.
Operating at a low voltage, the OV7680 image sensor
provides the full functionality of a single chip 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 OV7680 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 OV7680 delivers low-noise, low-cost,
low-power consumption, high integration, wide dynamic range
and excellent low-light performance.
The OV7680’s ultra thin module size allows for a
1-plastic lens design. Additionally, the OV7680’s
unique non-linear micro lens shift technology allows
for a reduction in the distance between sensor and
lens; reducing module height even further without loss
of image quality or camera performance.
