Compact camera modules fit tight spaces

These devices are miniature image sensors for vision applications where size is a critical factor.

The modules are designed for the toughest confined space requirements with a small footprint of 1mm² and four compact pads.

They achieve a frame rate of 0 to 58fps at 320 x 320 resolution with slave mode operation. The modules feature a highly sensitive 2.4-micron rolling shutter pixel and large full well capacitance.

The sensor includes a 10-bit analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) and a bit-serial single-ended interface mode (SEIM) data interface that reduces external electronics for applications with short connections.

An additional LVDS interface allows it to drive the signal for longer distances.

Applications include medical pill cams and intraoral scanners, robotics, drones, Internet-of-Things (IoT), and wearable devices.
