OV9724-A28A Image Sensor

The OV9724-A28A is an image sensor with 0.90MP CMOS sensor from OmniVision. This image sensor is best-in-class and offers extremely low power consumption at 65mW when operating in HD video recording mode. It uses a compact 1/2.7” optical format and has the ability to capture incredibly detailed HD video and still images. The OV9724-A28A is designed specifically for mobile applications and embedded systems, where low power consumption and space-saving size are paramount.

Application Field

The OV9724-A28A Image Sensor is ideal for capturing high-quality, low-power images in embedded systems such as wearable electronics and digital cameras. It can be used for digital SLRs, smartphones, tablets, surveillance systems, video conferencing, life-logging, medical imaging, and automotives. It is also suitable for digital surveillance systems that require high sensitivity, low noise, and wide dynamic range.

Working Principle

The OV9724-A28A Image Sensor uses CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) technology and captures images using a pixel array. CMOS sensors are popular in image sensors because of their superior capability compared to other technologies, such as Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) sensors. The CMOS technology allows the image sensor to draw less power and operate at lower temperatures than the CCD sensor.

The OV9724-A28A Image Sensor uses a four-channel color digital image sensor with a pixel array that contains 1824 pixels (3 x 3μm) and operates at a maximum resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels (720p HD) at 30 frames per second. It has high sensitivity, low noise, wide dynamic range, and low power consumption. It offers auto white balance, mirror/flip, horizontal and vertical subsampling, gamma correction, and windowing.

Conclusion

The OV9724-A28A Image Sensor is an excellent choice for capturing high-quality images in mobile and embedded applications. It has superior capabilities compared to other image sensors, such as improved power efficiency and a wide dynamic range. It is best suited for capturing HD video and still images in low-light conditions. It also offers features such as auto white balance, mirror/flip, subsampling, windowing, and gamma correction for improved image quality.
