OVM6948 200 x 200 product brief
The World's Smallest CameraCubeChip™ Brings High-
lead free
Quality Imaging to Single-Use Endoscopes and Catheters
available in
a lead-free
OmniVision's OVM6948 CameraCubeChip™ is one of the
package world's smallest commercially complete camera modules.
Designed especially for small-outer-diameter medical
endoscopes and catheters, the OVM6948 also is a suitable
camera solution for a wide range of applications, including
dental, veterinary, Internet of Things (IoT), industrial and
wearables. The OVM6948 leverages OmniVision's
CameraCubeChip™ wafer-level packaging technology and
proven OmniBSI™+ pixel architecture to deliver best-in-class
image quality and low-light performance in a complete package
that measures 0.65 mm x 0.65 mm with a z-height of just
1.168 mm, enabling a wide 120-degree field of view and an
extended focus range of 3 mm to 30 mm.
The OVM6948 has a 1/36-inch optical format and an image
array capable of capturing 200 x 200 resolution images and
video at up to 30 frames per second (fps). It offers exceptional
low-light sensitivity of 1000 mV/lux-sec, and using
OmniVision's proprietary sensor technology, delivers excellent
image quality in terms of color fidelity, sharpness and low
noise.
Benefiting from the sensor's low power consumption of a mere
25 mW, less heat is generated at the distal tip of the
endoscope, improving patient comfort and permitting longer-
duration procedures. The sensor enables easy integration, with
a four-pin interface and analog data output capable of data
transmission of up to 4 meters with minimal signal noise.
