SOI766
	Color CMOS VGA Sensor

General Description

The S0I766 is a low voltage CMOS image sensor that provides the full functionality of a single-chip VGA camera and image processor in a small footprint package. The SOI766 provides full-frame, sub-sampled or windowed 8-bit images in a wide range of formats. controlled through the Serial Camera Bus(SCCB) interface. This product has an image array capable of operating at up to 30 frames per second (fps) in VGA with complete user control over image quality, formatting and output data transfer. All required image processing functions, including exposure control, gamma, white balance, color saturation, hue control and more, are also programmable through the SCCB interface. In addition, SOI use proprietary sensor technology to improve image quality by reducing or eliminating common lighting / electrical sources of image contamination, such as Fixed Pattern Noise (FPN), smearing, blooming, etc., to produce a clean, fully stable color image.

Features

High sensitivity for low-light operation Low operating voltage for embedded portable applications Standard SCCB interface VGA, QVGA, QQVGA, CIF, QCIF, QQCIF and windowed outputs with Raw RGB, RGB (GRB 4:2:2), YUV (4:2:2) and YCbCr (4:2:2) formats VarioPixel? method for sub-sampling formats Automatic image control functions including: Automatic Exposure Control (AEC), Automatic Gain Control (AGC), Automatic White Balance (AWB), Automatic Brightness Control (ABC), Automatic Band Filter (ABF) for 60Hz noise and Automatic Black-Level Calibration (ABLC) Image quality controls including color saturation, hue, gamma, sharpness (edge enhancement), and anti-blooming
