Agilent Technologies announced a new family of integrated CMOS camera modules that can be designed into mobile phones and wireless PDAs.
The ADCM-1650 and ADCM-1670 camera modules offer sensitivity for capturing images in low-light conditions. Because they are fully integrated and require no external components, the new modules reduce time to market for handset and PDA designers.
The modules combine high image quality CIF or VGA resolution CMOS image sensors with a tightly integrated image processor, an embedded power supply and high-quality lens to offer a complete imaging solution. Their miniature size allows the addition of a camera module in even the smallest applications.
Mike Walters, mobile imaging business manager for Agilent's Sensor Solutions Division, noted, "Our technology and high volume manufacturing allow us to deliver high quality imaging solutions in quantities required by mobile handset manufacturers."
The ADCM-1650 and ADCM-1670 offer CIF (352 x 288 pixel) resolution, and the ADCM-2650 provides VGA (480 x 640 pixel) resolution. CIF resolution is recommended for phone-to-phone use, while VGA resolution is suggested for phone-to-web and phone-to-email applications.
They use a proprietary low noise imaging-optimized IC process and innovative analog circuitry for very high sensitivity pixel designs that enable enhanced low-light performance. This allows great pictures to be taken even under dimly lit conditions. The new camera modules also incorporate low power internal voltage regulation for optimum power management.
