Omnivision Launches 3MP Sensor with MDDI Interface

Yahoo: Omnivision announced 1/4" 3MP sensor with Qualcomm's MDDI interface, designed to optimize partitioning with Qualcomm's chipsets. The new OV3647 uses 1.75um pixels and is capable of operating at up to 15fps in full resolution.

The OV3647 fits in 7 x 7 x 5 mm camera modules with a very short optical track, and thus is versatile enough to work well both with fixed focus and auto-focus modules. The OV3647's embedded, one time programmable (OTP) memory is designed for part recognition and simplification of module designs using different lenses.

Digitimes also reports that Omnivision vice president of sales Ray Cisneros has said digestion of CMOS image sensor inventory at customers is almost complete and demand from handset customers is also recovering. Cisneros said current inventory levels have resumed to a healthy level. Sales prospects for CMOS image sensors are anticipated to improve in the second half of 2008.
