[OMNIVISION]

The OV2640 is the world’s first 1/4 inch 2 megapixel sensor. It’s a fully integrated CameraChip™ built on OmniVision’s latest 2.2 micron OmniPixel2™ architecture and can be assembled in the very popular 8 x 8 mm sockets with a building height as low as 5 mm, essentially thinner than today’s 1.3 megapixel camera modules. This optimal sensor size, coupled with an embedded compression engine, allows customers to use the same camera interface bandwidth as they have used with their 1.3 mega pixel sensors, making it very easy to upgrade their current platforms to the OV2640’s 2 megapixel solution without hardware or mechanical changes.
