The OV9726 is a 1/6.5-inch native 720p/30 frames per
second (fps) high-definition (HD) CMOS image sensor,
designed specifically for ultra compact, high-performance
HD cameras for portable electronics. The OV9726 uses
OmniVision's proprietary 1.75-micron OmniBSI™ pixel
architecture to achieve superior low-light sensitivity
(1300 mV/lux-sec), reduced crosstalk and excellent
quantum efficiency to ensure high color fidelity and image
clarity. The sensor's short stack height of only 3.5 mm
enables the smallest available camera modules in its class,
making it an ideal choice for notebooks, netbooks,
webcams, mobile phones, portable media players (PMPs)
and other mobile entertainment devices.
OmniVision's native HD sensors offer the best available
image quality and camera performance as they do not
suffer from degradation or image artifacts due to scaling or
cropping, which is typically used to achieve HD resolution
from larger array sensors.
The OV9726 CMOS image sensor supports multiple
platform architectures and controllers with both parallel
and MIPI interfaces. It significantly reduces product
development time by allowing system designers to
leverage the same opto-electrical design across various
products and multiple market segments.
Exposure control, white balance and defective pixel
canceling are programmable through the SCCB interface. In
addition, OmniVision image sensors use proprietary sensor
technology to improve image quality by reducing or
eliminating common lighting/electrical sources of image
contamination, such as fixed pattern noise and smearing to
produce a clean, fully stable color image.
