Automotive SoC for Entry-Level Rear View Cameras with Industry’s Best Low-Light Performance, Lowest Power and Smallest Size

OMNIVISION’s OX01E10 is a 1.3‑megapixel (MP) SoC in a 1/4” optical format, providing the automotive industry’s best imaging performance for entry-level rear view cameras (RVC) across a wide range of challenging lighting conditions, along with the most compact form factor and lowest power consumption. It integrates a 3‑micron image sensor and an advanced image signal processor (ISP), enabling designers to achieve a small form factor with excellent low-light performance, ultra-low power and reduced cost while improving reliability by using only one printed circuit board (PCB).

The OX01E10’s sensor is built on the PureCel®Plus pixel architecture, renowned for its low-light sensitivity and providing the industry’s best SNR performance. Additionally, it provides two on-screen display overlay layers for driver guidelines, as well as distortion correction to straighten any curved edges from lenses with a wide viewing angle.

This is the only imaging device for entry-level RVC that doesn’t require a metal heat sink, allowing plastic camera module bodies to reduce costs. With its compact package size, it enables smaller cameras that can fit in tighter spaces. Additionally, by integrating both the sensor and ISP into a single chip, designers can save on both cost and space by eliminating the second PCB in typical two-chip implementations.

OMNIVISION’s dual conversion gain technology is employed in this SoC to achieve an HDR of 120 dB with only two captures. Its integrated ISP further enables superior image quality with a number of advanced features, such as lens chromatic aberration correction, and advanced noise reduction and local tone mapping.

The OX01E10 SoC provides a 1340 x 1020 array size at 30 fps. It also enables output flexibility with both 2‑lane MIPI and 10‑bit DVP interfaces, and is AEC‑Q100 Grade 2 certified.
