Omnivision Technologies Inc. has pushed the OV16820 and OV16825 images sensors which provide 16-megapixel resolution. The images sensors can be widely used in digital still and video cameras.

The OV16820 and OV16825 support something called "burst mode" photography and can capture 4K by 2K resolution video at 60 frames per second. The sensors are made using a 1.34-micron back-side illuminated manufacturing process. They are respectively used in video camera markets and the high-end smartphone market.

Image processing functions are programmable through the serial camera control bus (SCCB) interface. The functions include defective pixel and noise canceling, image size, RAW scaling, frame rate, exposure, gain, cropping and orientation.

The OV16820 is available for sampling in a ceramic land grid array (CLGA) package while the OV16825 will be available in die form. Both are expected to enter volume production by the fourth quarter of 2012.
