1/3‑inch 13MP Image Sensor for Mainstream and Entry-Level Smartphone Cameras

The OMNIVISION OV13B image sensor is the latest addition of our widely deployed 13MP family, featuring a 1/3-inch optical format and ultra-low power consumption. Built with our PureCel®Plus pixel technology, the OV13B provides mainstream and entry-level smartphone designers with the industry’s best 1.12 micron pixel performance for rear- or front-facing cameras. This sensor will not only fulfill the tremendous demand in the mainstream market, but can also boost the performance of entry-level smartphones. Additionally, it is a perfect fit for both wide-angle and telephoto cameras in multi-camera configurations.

In comparison with its predecessors, the OV13B has significantly lower power consumption for extended battery life. It also has a smaller chip size, enabling an 8.5 mm x 8.5 mm autofocus module for main cameras, or a 6.4 mm x 7.2 mm fixed focus module for front-facing cameras with a Z height below 4 mm.

The OV13B image sensor supports phase detection autofocus (PDAF), while providing multiple resolution options to meet the needs of end users, including full-resolution 13MP image output at 30 frames per second (fps), 4K2K video at 30 fps, 1080p full high definition (HD) at 60 fps, or 720p HD at 120 fps.
