High Definition Video with Enhanced Low-Light Sensitivity and OmniHDR®-S Technology for Advanced Automotive Vision Systems

The OV10640 is the automotive industry’s first image sensor to utilize backside illumination technology, enabling industry-leading sensitivity. The sensor uses OMNIVISION’s proprietary OmniHDR®-S technology to deliver high dynamic range (HDR) of up to 120 dB in highly compact automotive-grade packages, making it an excellent solution for a broad range of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), including: 360-degree surround view, rear view, machine vision, blind spot detection and lane departure warning.

The sensor’s 4.2 µm OmniBSI™ pixel is capable of recording highly detailed full-resolution 1.3 megapixel images and video at 60 frames per second (fps). The OV10640 leverages advanced OmniHDR®-S technology to deliver Split Pixel and Staggered HDR, in which the scene information is sampled simultaneously rather than sequentially. This process minimizes motion artifacts and delivers superior image quality in RAW output in the most demanding and difficult lighting conditions.

The OV10640 contains industry-leading safety mechanisms to fulfill functional safety goals as required by ISO 26262. The sensor comes in an a-CSP™ package and meets AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualifications.
