BusinessWire: Omnivision announces the OVB0, said to be the world’s smallest 200MP image sensor with pixel size at just 0.61µm for smartphone cameras. The OVB0B is the first 200MP to offer 100% quad phase detection (QPD) for fast autofocus.
The OVB0B features the industry’s first 16-cell binning capability for 4K2K video with 16 times the sensitivity. In low light environments it achieves 12.5MP performance with 2.44µm-equivalent pixel size using near pixel 4x4 binning. An on-chip remosaic enables 50MP at 24 fps and 8k video at 30 fps with 1.22µm-equivalent performance. The OVB0B can also output 12.5MP at 30 fps with 3-exposure staggered HDR timing.
“Consumers want high resolution captures and high quality preview and video. As the image sensor technology leader, we have applied our PureCel Plus-S stacked die technology to dramatically push mobile main cameras to a new level,” said Arun Jayaseelan, staff marketing manager at Omnivision. “With the new OVB0B, we now offer the industry’s highest resolution in a small package for high end smart phones along with the best low-light performance in its class.”
“We estimate more than 40 million image sensors with 100MP+ resolution are expected to be shipped to smartphone vendors in 2022,” says Jeffrey Mathews, senior analyst at Strategy Analytics.
The OVB0B supports CPHY, DPHY and dual DOVDD (1.8V and 1.2V). Samples of the OVB0B are available now.
