OmniVision Technologies declared the introduction of the OV7955, a high performance and affordable NTSC analog and digital image sensor ideal for use in mainstream automotive applications.
The new OV7955 is AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified, provides superior low-light sensitivity and compatible with all ultra-compact modules. It serves to be an ideal camera solution for surround-view, rear-view, and blind spot detection systems.
According to OmniVision’s automotive marketing manager, Jeff Morin, the demand for rear-view camera systems has increased in light of the imperatives of the Cameron Gulbransen Kids Transportation Safety Act. By introducing a 40% smaller and cost-effective image sensor into the market, the demand for rear-view cameras can be met. Featured with low cost, compact footprint and unique performance, the OV7955 is being shipped to major global automotive manufacturers for integration within several mainstream automotive designs.
The OV7955 has been developed based on the OmniPixel3-HS pixel architecture. It produces an excellent low-light sensitivity of 16 V/Lux-sec and superior signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that can be effectively deployed for operation under complex lighting conditions. The sensor's incorporated memory for initialization minimizes the overall bill-of-materials and size of the camera module. Using the crop and resize feature, the same camera module can be virtually created to any vehicle platform without the need for extra mechanical adjustments. The OV7955 is being offered in a compact 5.7 x 5.4 mm aCSP package.
The OV7955 rear-view camera will be demonstrated at Convergence, which will be held from October 16 to 17, 2012 at Detroit, Michigan.
