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.

world’s smallest 2 megapixel CameraChip

The OV2640 takes advantage of the many process and design

improvements of the new OmniPixel2 architecture, including

more vibrant color, a zero-gap micro lens structure, an increased

fill factor as well as significant improvements in the quantum

efficiency and full well capacity resulting in a very small but highly

sensitive 2.2 micron pixel.

In addition to the benefits of the OmniPixel2 architecture,

OmniVision also integrated an advanced image signal processing

block (OmniQSP™), which provides high-grade picture processing

and additional features traditionally only found in digital still

cameras. This advanced imaging processor has become very

important as the camera phone continues to evolve from a simple

gadget to a full fledged digital camera.
