Overview

The OV5017 is a black and white digital camera

chip that uses OmniVision’s CMOS image core

technology. Combining the CMOS sensor technol-

ogy and an easy to use digital interface, the

OV5017 offers a low cost solution for high-quality

video image applications.

The digital video port supplies a continuous byte-

wide image data. On-chip programmable features

include variable frame rate, exposure setting, and

image size. All the camera features are register

based, accessing the video data and configuring

the chip is as easy as read/write of a static mem-

ory.
