OV5670 5 million pixels camera chip Photosensitive chip Image sensor integrated circuit

The OV5670 PureCel® image sensor can capture full resolution 5-megapixel (2592 x 1944) images at 30 frames per second (FPS), quad HD video at 30 FPS, cropped 1080p HD at 60 FPS, or 720p HD at 60 FPS. When recording 720p HD video with binning, the sensor achieves sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio that is comparable to popular 1.75-micron pixel-based sensors.

When the OV5670 is recording full resolution video, it uses approximately 35 percent less power than OMNIVISION’s previous generation 5-megapixel sensor. The sensor’s ultra low power mode further reduces power consumption, thus minimizing battery drain.

The OV5670 fits into a compact 6 x 6 x 3.5 mm camera module. The device is available in both CSP and RW packages.
