VS6650

The VS6650 is a 1.0 Megapixel camera module for use across a range of mobile phone platforms. The camera module, which is SMIA 1.0 profile 1 compliant, can generate 1.0 Megapixel images up to 30 fps.

Based on the SMIA architectural concepts, the VS6650 can be used with or without image processor (i.e. STV0976 or STV0984). The module is suitable for performance-driven camera phones and cost-driven high volume designs. The embedded horizontal scaler typically enables the realization of power-efficient viewfinder that uses host software processing. For performance driven applications or when a different video interface is required, the STV0976 mobile imaging processor ensures state-of-the-art image reconstruction and compression at up to 15 fps.

The VS6650 features allow straightforward integration into mobile phone designs: low EMI video interface and package/socket shielding, low wire count (8 total), embedded power management (30 µW power-down) and embedded PLL. A minimal list of external components is required: supply decoupling capacitors, CCI pull-ups and a chargepump capacitor.

The VS6650 3-element lens design ensures high quality image capture while maintaining low module height. The overall optical stack, including lens system, IR filter and sensor optical structures is developed within ST.

The VS6650 package uses the second generation of SmOP2 packaging technology. Sensor and lens are assembled in a fully automated test and focus process for high volume and low cost production. This 1.0 Megapixel sensor fits within the SMIA95 form factor (9.5 x 9.5 x 7.6 mm³).
