1/4" Color CMOS 5-Megapixel (2592 x 1944) Image Sensor with Improved OmniBSI™-2 Technology

The OV5693 is OMNIVISION’s highest performance 1/4‑inch, 5‑megapixel image sensor, delivering DSC-quality imaging and low-light performance as well as full 1080p high-definition video recording at 30 frames per second (fps). Using OMNIVISION’s proprietary 1.4‑micron OmniBSI™‑2 pixel architecture, the OV5693 provides best-in-class low-light performance and image quality in a slim camera module. This makes the OV5693 an ideal camera solution for slim flagship smartphones and tablets, providing exceptional 5‑megapixel “selfie” images and high-quality 1080p video.

Leveraging OMNIVISION’s second-generation industry-leading backside illumination pixel technology, the OV5693 offers full resolution 5‑megapixel images at 30 fps, an integrated scaler, and 2×2 binning functionality with re‑sampling filter. The scaler enables electronic image stabilization, while maintaining full field-of-view in both 720p and 1080p HD video modes. The 2×2 binning functionality, which features a post-binning re-sampling filter, further increases the sensor’s sensitivity, while minimizing spatial artifacts and removing image artifacts around edges to produce crisp, clean color images.

The sensor features a high-speed 2‑lane MIPI interface running up to 900 Mbps per lane and fits into an industry standard module size of 8.5 x 8.5 mm with a z‑height of 4.2 mm for an autofocus module.
