OmniVision unveils a 1.3 megapixel SoC for the car's 360-degree circumnavigation system and rearview camera
April 18 , 20230
OmniVision has unveiled its new 1.3 megapixel OX01E20 system-level chip (SoC) for the vehicle's 360-degree Roundabout System (SVS) and rearview camera (RVC). The OX01E20 brings best-in-class LED flicker suppression (LFM) and 140db high Dynamic range (HDR) capabilities to Howe Group's portfolio of automotive single chip image sensor and signal processor solutions.
"content per vehicle continues to drive growth in the ADAS market," said Mark Fitzgerald, director of autonomous vehicle research at Strategy Analytics, which is part of TechInsights. "The high performance, low power consumption, and small package size circumnavigation and rearview camera solutions are very attractive to vendors looking to provide their customers with convenient ADAS solutions."
"Automotive manufacturers are looking for superior LFM, HDR, and low-light performance in their next generation vehicles, and we have designed the new OX01E20 SoC to meet their needs," said Paul Wu, customer marketing manager, OmniVision Automotive. The OX01E20 is pin-to-pin compatible with the previous generation 1.3 megapixel automotive SoC, making it quick and easy to upgrade to higher performance. In fact, our OX01E20 SoC design has earned the trust of several major automakers."
The OX01E20 provides SVS and RVC with superior imaging performance for a variety of harsh lighting conditions, while also having a compact form and low power consumption. The OX01E20 packs a 3-micron image sensor, advanced image signal processor (ISP), and full-featured distortion/perspective correction (DC/PC) and on-screen display (OSD) in a single 1/4 inch optical format package, enabling designers to achieve small size, excellent low-light performance, ultra-low power consumption, and low cost at the same time. At the same time, OX01E20 can only use a single PCB board, which is conducive to improving the reliability of the camera module.
Key features that make the OX01E20 stand out from competing solutions:
● Both industry-leading 140dB HDR and LFM
● Excellent HDR and LFM performance in the entire temperature range of the vehicle
● Advanced ISP, including DC/PC and OSD
● Using a-CSP technology, small size solutions can be realized
Low power consumption
● Based on the Howe Group's PureCel® Plus architecture, which provides excellent low light sensitivity and high signal-to-noise ratio
