SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
July 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a leading
developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, today announced
the OV13853, a high performance 13-megapixel PureCel™ image sensor
that brings DSLR quality images and features to mainstream mobile
devices. Leveraging OmniVision's proven 1.12-micron pixel
technology, the OV13853 can achieve best-in-class high and
low-light performance, while delivering support for advanced
features such as phase detection autofocus (PDAF).
"The mobile device ecosystem has progressed vastly, and we
believe that DSLR features such as PDAF can now potentially be in
play even for the mainstream smartphone segment. In light of this,
we are announcing today our first 13-megapixel sensor with special
phase detection pixels to support PDAF for this segment," said
Badri Padmanabhan, product marketing
manager at OmniVision. "The OV13853 enables PDAF and is a
pin-to-pin compatible upgrade from our previous 13-megapixel
sensor. The OV13853 can thus be easily integrated into mainstream
smartphone designs, which can dramatically shorten lead time to
production."
The 1/3.06-inch OV13853 supports an active array of 4224 x 3136
pixels (13.2-megapixels) operating at 30 frames per second (FPS)
with zero shutter lag, enabling seamless transition between
recording video and still images. The sensor supports 4K2K
ultra-high definition video at 30 FPS with full-horizontal field of
view (FOV) and electronic image stabilization (EIS). The OV13853
can also record high frame rate 1080p HD video at 60 FPS with EIS
to enable high quality video recording.
The OV13853 fits into a compact 8.5 mm x 8.5 mm module with a
z-height of less than 5 mm. The sensor is currently in volume
production.
