OmniVision Expands Automotive CameraChip Family
OmniVision launched its OV7949, the newest member of its automotive CameraChip family. The OV7949 is a new high-performance, highly-integrated analog CMOS image sensor.
Reduced blooming capability is important for rear-view cameras, which need to be able to 'see' even when faced with bright headlights of trailing vehicles. Similarly, reduced blooming capability is important for 'black box' cameras, which are intended to visually document accidents for liability or insurance purposes, where the brightness of the brake lights of a vehicle directly in front of the sensor can blur or disturb the image and prevent a clear documentation of events.
''We believe the strong performance of the new OV7949 in extreme low-light conditions, combined with reduced blooming and exceptional dynamic range, make this the sensor of choice for our automotive customers,'' commented Hasan Gadjali, Vice President Advanced Products at OmniVision. ''Product evaluation of the OV7949 by top-tier automotive suppliers and OEMs is already underway, and early feedback has been very encouraging.''
