The 1/6-inch OV9770 is an advanced CMOS image sensor

designed for high performance 720p/30 fps high definition

(HD) video applications for the notebook, tablet and

entertainment markets. It is the first HD image sensor to use

the new 1.75-micron OmniBSI-2™ pixel, delivering the best

low-light performance (SNR10) and the highest sensitivity and

dynamic range in its class. The new OmniBSI-2 pixel

architecture brings a 20 percent improvement in peak quantum

efficiency, a 50 percent increase in full well capacity, and a

20 percent improvement in low-light performance, elevating

the OV9770 to a new quality standard for HD video capture in

720p resolution.

A native 720p HD sensor, the OV9770 captures 30 frames per

second (fps) in full 1280 x 720 resolution without losing image

quality from degradation or image artifacts due to scaling or

cropping. Image quality is further improved by minimizing

lighting and electrical sources of contamination such as fixed

pattern noise and smearing to produce a clean, stable color

image. All required image processing functions including

exposure control and defective pixel canceling are

programmable through the Serial Camera Control Bus (SCCB)

interface. The sensor also provides full-frame, sub-sampled or

windowed 8-bit/10-bit images in RAW through the SCCB

interface.

The OV9770 supports multiple platform architectures and

controllers with both parallel and MIPI interfaces, significantly

reducing product development time.
