Description

The D0447FDB is a CMOS sensor designed for high resolution digital colour stills cameras and machine vision applications. It is available in both monochrome (VV5801) and colour (VV6801) versions. The VV6801 colour sensor provides high colour fidelity with low colour aliasing making it ideal for stills photography. On the other hand, the VV5801 monochrome device is perfect for machine vision applications due to its higher sensitivity. The sensor has an image array size identical to the VV6850/5850, which allows for existing optics to be used.

Specifications and features

• High resolution (1300K) CMOS sensor
• Versatile operating modes including ‘Live Video’ mode, Horizontal Cine Mode, and new Vertical Cine modes for viewfinder applications, as well as exposure monitoring modes
• Digital control of pixel reading for flexibility, including external ADC interface
• Control/configuration via serial interface
• Bayer pattern R,G,B colorisation (other patterns/colours can be accommodated)
• Monochrome version available - VV5801 - functionally identical to the VV6801, but with higher sensitivity
• Low power operation (125mW Typical)
• Industry standard 84 pin LCC and BGA packages

Application Scenarios

The D0447FDB CMOS sensor can be used in high resolution digital colour stills cameras and machine vision applications. The monochrome version (VV5801) is perfect for machine vision applications due to its higher sensitivity while the colour version (VV6801) is ideal for stills photography due to its high colour fidelity and low colour aliasing.

Comparison

• High resolution sensor
• Low power operation
• Monochrome and colour versions available for different applications
• Pinout is backwardly compatible with the VV6850/5850 sensors for easy design into existing applications

• Not suitable for low light applications
• Slightly higher power consumption compared to other sensors in its category
• Does not support other color patterns out of the box, but this can be accommodated with extra programming
