“These camera solutions are designed to be extremely versatile, bringing high quality images and video in compact and affordable packages.  These two solutions are well suited to a wide range of applications in which cost, size or power consumption constraints can be key,” said Aaron Chiang, director of CameraCubeChip marketing at OmniVision.

The OVM7699 comes in a 2.1 x 2.1mm CameraCubeChip module with a z-height of approximately 2.3mm, while the OV7699 comes in a 2.03 x 2.08mm CSP. Both modules are currently available for sampling and are expected to enter volume production in the first quarter of 2016.
