11 Prototyping and Evaluation Modules
OmniVision Technologies Inc. supplies prototyping and evaluation modules to demonstrate
operation of the associated C
AMERA
C
HIP
products, as well as to demonstrate associated
companion backend processor, where required.
11.1 OV9650EAA Prototyping Module
The OV9650EAA prototyping module is used for general design-in and evaluation purposes. The
module provides a simple 32-pin header-connector interface to the relevant I/O and control
registers in the OV9650 C
AMERA
C
HIP
. The module includes the necessary sensor, lens/holder, a
few capacitors, and resistors.
The OV9650EAA prototyping module can be directly connected to any companion backend
processor solution or system interface. The header-connector interface allows for access to the
10-bit digital output data, PCLK, vertical sync, horizontal sync and SCCB signals. The backend
interface can use the Serial Camera Control Bus (SCCB) interface software to adjust the control
register values.
11.2 OV9650ECX USB 2.0 Evaluation Module
The OV9650ECX USB2.0 evaluation module is provided so that potential customers may evaluate
both the live video function of the C
AMERA
C
HIP
as well as the SCCB control interface software. The
OV9650 C
AMERA
C
HIP
output is a RGB raw data or YUV stream connected to a USB 2.0 controller
operating at a high-speed bus data rate (480 Mbps).
Using a high performance computer system with a USB 2.0 host (cannot guarantee for every
system), the OV9650 USB module will stream video in SXGA format (1280x1028 at 15 fps), VGA
format (640x480 at 30 fps) or in QVGA format (320x240 at 60 fps). This configuration requires a
Windows
®
2000 or XP operating system. Additionally, the SCCB software allows the evaluator to
adjust the image characteristics in real-time.
12 Lens selection
The OV9650 is a quarter-inch format C
AMERA
C
HIP
that is compatible with numerous lenses in the
market. The key considerations in lens selection are lens quality and resultant cost. OmniVision
Technologies, Inc. has qualified several lens suppliers for the various formats, sizes, and quality of
lenses available. OmniVision has developed a Lens Supplier Partner List to complement our
C
AMERA
C
HIP
products. This listing is available at
on the Partners page. Contact
your local OmniVision FAE for recommended OV9650 lenses.
