High-Performance, Low-Power 2K 4‑Megapixel Image Sensor for Consumer Security and Surveillance Cameras

The OS04D is a 4-megapixel (MP) image sensor that brings 2K resolution digital images and high-definition (HD) video at 30 frames per second (fps) to IP and HD analog security cameras, including smart home, doorbell and baby monitoring devices. The OS04D CMOS image sensor utilizes a high-performance backside-illuminated (BSI) pixel while also providing 40% power consumption savings, as well as improvements of over 30% in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR1) and 40% in sensitivity when compared with its predecessor.

The OS04D image sensor’s 2.0‑micron (µm) BSI pixel is based on OMNIVISION’s PureCel®Plus technology and enables higher sensitivity, ultra-low noise and better overall image quality. Select conversion gain (SCG) allows the sensor to flexibly select low and high conversion gain depending on the lighting conditions. On-chip auto explorer control (AEC) and auto gain control (AGC) further accelerate system-on-chip (SoC) booting time. Low power consumption is beneficial for battery operated devices, especially doorbell security cameras. It comes in a cost-effective 1/3‑inch optical format and is pin-to-pin compatible with OMNIVISION’s OS04L image sensor as well as other new products that will be launched in the future.

The OS04D supports MIPI interfaces.
