48 Megapixel, 0.8 micron image sensor delivers high-end resolution

OMNIVISION OV48B 48 megapixel (MP) image sensor provides a 0.8 micron pixel size to enable high resolution smartphone cameras in a 1/2″ optical format. Built on firm’s PureCel Plus stacked die technology, device provides leading edge still image capture and video performance for both mainstream and high end smartphones. Device delivers a wide range of features such as digital crop zoom and a CPHY interface, making it versatile. Device integrates an on-chip 4-cell color filter array and hardware re-mosaic, which provides high quality, 48 MP Bayer output in real time. In low light conditions, this sensor can use near-pixel binning to output a 12 MP image with four times the sensitivity. Device consistently captures the best quality images without motion blur, as well as enabling digital crop zoom with 12MP resolution and fast mode switch. Additionally, it can be used with a wide field-of-view and a CPHY interface for dual- and tri-camera configurations with dedicated wide- and ultrawide-angle capabilities.
