Compact Global Shutter Camera Module for Near-Infrared Mobile Facial Authentication, AR/VR Eye Tracking and Machine Vision

OMNIVISION’s OVM7251 CameraCubeChip® module is built on the 3 µm OmniPixel®3‑GS global shutter architecture. The OVM7251 offers designers a small form factor, low power consumption and a cost effective 640 x 480 VGA resolution camera module. The module provides low power consumption via multiple standby modes and faster global shutter capture and processing during active mode. Additionally, it is available in an 850 nm version for AR/VR eye tracking, and a 940 nm version for machine vision and 3D sensing in mobile facial authentication.

The OVM7251’s sleep current consumption is only at 5 µA. During active mode, the module’s global shutter enables fast image capture. This arrangement can result in extended battery life for a broad range of applications, such as head-mounted displays for AR/VR, facial authentication in smart phones, and machine vision for factory automation, barcode readers and robot vacuum cleaners.

OMNIVISION’s CameraCubeChip® modules reduce design time by integrating the image sensors, processor and lenses in a miniature wafer-level, reflowable chip-scale package. The OVM7251 module is available now for sampling and volume production, along with an evaluation kit.
