The OV6680 is a single-chip, high-performance

SquareGA™ (SGA™) resolution (400x400) CameraChip™

sensor that incorporates all the functionality of a

camera and image processor in one small footprint

package. Using a 3.6 μm x 3.6 μm pixel built on

OmniPixel2™ technology utilizing a 0.18 μm CMOS

process, the OV6680 has outstanding low-light

performance to accommodate any lighting condition.

The OV6680 color camera is an excellent candidate for

secondary handset cameras for 2-way video

conferencing over 3G networks. This is enabled by its

ultra small module design (5x5x3.0 mm) and superior

low-light performance. Low light performance is most

critical for video conferencing applications because

LCD screens emit very little light (about 1 lux) and

indoor environments tend to be less bright.

product brief

Additionally, by outperforming smaller VGAs, it is also an

excellent alternative as a primary camera for low cost mobile

phones. The OV6680 provides full-frame, sub-sampled or

windowed 8-bit images in a wide range of formats, controlled

through the Serial Camera Control Bus (SCCB) interface.

The OV6680 operates at 30 frames per second (fps) in SGA

resolution (400x400 pixels) with complete user control over

image quality, formatting and output data. Enabling a 400x400

pixel output allows users to perform image stabilization functions

with post processing. All the required image processing functions

such as exposure control, gamma, white balance, color saturation

and hue control are also programmable through the SCCB

interface.
