1/2.88" Color 50‑Megapixel (8192 x 6144) CMOS Image Sensor

Low-Power, High-Performance 50MP Image Sensor for Multiple Smartphone Cameras

The OV50M40 is a versatile 0.61‑micron (µm) pixel CMOS image sensor with 50‑megapixel (MP) output, and features functions such as staggered high dynamic range (HDR), dual analog gain (DAG) HDR, and always-on for front, main, ultra-wide and telephoto cameras in smartphones.

It supports always-on function for motion detection and ultra-low power. The OV50M40 can consistently capture high-quality images and it enables 2x or 3x high-quality crop-zoom for telephoto camera with fast mode switch.

The OV50M40 is built on OMNIVISION’s PureCel®Plus‑S stacked-die technology, enabling high-resolution 50MP with small 0.61 µm pixels. The sensor’s 12.5MP preview and still capture with 4-cell binning achieves 4x sensitivity (~1.22 µm equivalent pixel performance). It supports 50MP with PDAF autofocus at 12 fps, 12.5MP with PDAF autofocus at 60 fps, 4K2K video with PDAF autofocus at 60 fps, and 1080p at 120 fps.

The OV50M40 comes in a 1/2.88‑inch optical format and supports the CPHY/DPHY MIPI interface and dual DOVDD 1.8/1.2V.
