The smartphone imaging sensor presents 50MP readability, HDR, and enhanced low-light efficiency in a compact design.
OMNIVISION, a developer of semiconductor applied sciences, together with digital imaging, analog, and contact & show know-how, introduced the launch of OV50M40 picture sensor. This sensor incorporates capabilities for varied smartphone digital camera setups corresponding to entrance, foremost, ultra-wide, and telephoto, providing a 0.61-micron pixel CMOS sensor with 50-megapixel output. It contains options like single publicity twin analog acquire (DAG) for video HDR and an always-on low energy mode.
The sensor helps HDR capabilities by staggered and DAG HDR applied sciences, enhancing each video and nonetheless picture high quality. Its built-in DAG permits for single-exposure HDR, minimizing movement artifacts in variable lighting. The sensor performs effectively in low-light situations with its 4-cell binning method, noise discount, and high-gain mode, able to reaching as much as 64x analog acquire for enhanced photos in low mild.
Moreover, the sensor options part detection autofocus (PDAF) in each binning and full-resolution modes, and {hardware} re-mosaic for optimum telephoto digital camera efficiency. Its always-on perform allows movement detection and low energy utilization. The sensor ensures high quality photos whether or not utilized in rear or front-facing cameras, supporting as much as 3x crop-zoom for telephoto lenses with fast mode switching.
Constructed utilizing OMNIVISION’s PureCelPlus-S stacked-die know-how, the sensor achieves decision in a compact type issue with small 0.61µm pixels. It gives a 12.5MP preview and captures nonetheless photos with 4-cell binning for elevated sensitivity. The sensor helps varied modes, together with 50MP stills at 12 fps, 12.5MP photos at 60 fps, and high-frame-rate video seize. This 1/2.88-inch sensor additionally helps the CPHY/DPHY MIPI interface and twin DOVDD voltage ranges.
“There’s rising demand for small type issue 50MP decision picture sensors in smartphone purposes, together with entrance, foremost, ultra-wide and telephoto cameras,” mentioned James Liu, senior product advertising and marketing supervisor, OMNIVISION. “Our new OV50M40 picture sensor can present cell phone OEMs with a single digital camera answer with the efficiency and options that may fulfill a number of purposes, simplifying the availability chain and lowering value.”
