Description

The OV0538-LB50 is an IC chip belonging to the electronic component model category, which is produced by OmniVision. The chip is fully integrated with a high-sensitivity 5-megapixel sensor built on OmniVision’s latest 2.2-micron OmniPixel2™ architecture. It enables high-resolution image capturing, even in low-light conditions, with its embedded compression engine which supports most common compression formats. The OV0538-LB50 supports a range of output formats, including Raw RGB, RGB (RGB565/555), GRB422, YUV (422/420), and YCbCr (4:2:2), with image sizes ranging from UXGA to 40x30 and variable frame rate control. Automatic image control functions like AEC, AGC, ABF, AWB, and ABLC are also available. The OV0538-LB50 can be used in cell phones, toys, PC multimedia, and digital still cameras.
