The OV5623 is a high-performance 5.17 megapixel
CMOS CameraChip™ for digital still image, video
camcorder and mobile handset products. With an
optical format of only 1/2.5 inches, the OV5623
takes advantage of the compact 2.2
μm
x 2.2
μm
pixel size of the OmniPixel2™ technology, which is
one of the industry’s smallest pixel sizes
commercially available.
OmniPixel2’s proprietary new process, which is
manufactured using 0.13-micron process
technology, and innovative pixel design are keys to
the OV5623’s high dynamic range. It enables an
increased fill factor of 40 percent and more
vibrant and truer-to-life color reproduction.
The OV5623 sensor is also designed with zero-gap micro-lens
structures, which allows pixels to capture over 20 percent
more light making more effective use of the smaller pixel’s
active area. Additionally, the OV5623 offers improved
quantum efficiency, which optimizes image performance and
gives rise to a further increased full well capacity.
The OV5623 incorporates a 2592 x 1944 image array and a
10-bit A/D converter capable of operating at 7.5 frames per
second (fps) in full resolution. The OV5623 can also operate
at 60 fps at 864 x 648 resolution enabling enhanced video
viewing on TV. The large image array also allows for a digital
image stabilization function.
