"This unique system-on-a-chip solution gives OmniVision a quantum leap forward in automotive imaging," said Inayat Khajasha, senior product marketing manager for automotive products at OmniVision. "Conventionally, HDR and high sensitivity have been mutually exclusive in automotive imaging. With the OV10626, however, we now offer both features in a compact, single-chip solution."

The OV10626 supports both NTSC analog and digital outputs, as well as dual dynamic overlay functions. The sensor's color HDR of up to 120 dB and low-light sensitivity of 15 V/Lux-sec ensure that clear, high-quality images are captured, even in extremely challenging lighting conditions.

The OV10626 is packaged in OmniVision's proprietary AutoVision chip-scale package (aCSP™), which is the industry's most compact and efficient package available.
