Trading Markets: Omnivision announced OV5647, a 1/4-inch, 5MP RAW image sensor based on its 1.4um BSI technology. OmniVision’s 1.4um OmniBSI pixel delivers 680-mV/lux-sec sensitivity. OV5647 has 720p/60fps and 1080p/30fps HD video modes. The 720p/60 HD video is captured in full field of view with 2 x 2 binning. Additionally, a post-binning re-sampling filter function unique to the OV5647 removes image artifacts around edges and minimizes spatial artifacts. The sensor fits into 8.5 x 8.5-mm module size with a z-height of less than 5-mm. It supports parallel port or two-lane MIPI and provides 10-bit images in RAW RGB format.
The OV5647 is sampling now and will enter mass production in July 2010. According to iSuppli, 5MP cameras will account for over one-third of all camera phones by 2012.
