The introduction of these mega-pixel products is the latest milestone for OmniVision in its commitment to provide high quality, high resolution image sensors to the digital still camera market. Our strategy has been to provide outstanding products starting with the lower resolution level and working our way up to higher resolution levels. These products, like many of OmniVision's offerings, are targeted at the digital still camera market. For digital still cameras, 1.3 mega-pixels is generally considered the level of resolution required to print an image in a standard photo size.
More pixels enable clearer printed images.
The sensor array is designed to work with a half inch lens format and is packaged in a 64 pin LCC package. The sensors have square pixels with a 5.2um x 5.2um pixel pitch. The 3.3 volt power supply enables low power consumption. Maximum frame rate of full array raw data readout is 30 frames per second. Maximum frame rate of YUV output, after color processing, is 30 frames per second.
