Features
- Ultra-Low Power, high sensitivity, low noise VGA sensor
- Operates 7mA VGA 60 FPS down to 50µA in monitor mode
- Automatic wake and sleep operation with programmable event interrupt to wake host processor
- On-chip high precision oscillator, auto exposure/gain, ambient light sensor, and zone detection
- Metered exposure provides a well-exposed first frame and after extended sleep (blanking) period
- External frame synch and stereo camera support
- Flexible binning, subsampling, and region of interest
- The embedded line provides metadata frame, AE statistics, zone trigger, and other interrupt event information
- On-chip high precision oscillator and LDO
- 1-lane MIPI CSI2 and 8-bit parallel/serial data format that supports 1-bit, 4-bit, and 8-bit protocol
- I2C 2-wire serial interface supporting burst operation for fast register access
- < 13 mm^2 CSP sensor package option
- High CRA for low profile module design
- Pixel Size: 3.6um x 3.6um
- Image Diagonal: 1/6"
- Shutter Type: Electronic Rolling Shutter
- Frame Rate@24MHz: QQVGA 1 FPS to VGA 60 FPS
