DESCRIPTION
The VS6524 is a VGA resolution CMOS color dig-
ital camera featuring low size and low power con-
sumption and targeting mobile applications. The
VS6524 is manufactured in 0.18 μm ST CMOS im-
aging process. It integrates a high-sensitivity pixel
array, a digital image processor and camera con-
trol functions.
The VS6524 is capable of streaming VGA video
up to 30 fps, with ITU-R BT.656-4 YUV 4:2:2 frame
format. It supports both 1.8 V and 2.8 V interface
and requires a 2.4 to 3.0 V analog power supply.
Typically, the VS6524 can operate as a 2.8 V sin-
gle supply camera or as a 1.8 V / 2.5 V supply
camera. The integrated PLL allows for low fre-
quency system clock, and flexibility for successful
EMC integration. This complete camera module is
ready to connect to camera enabled baseband
processors, back-end IC devices or PDA engines.
The VS6524 package uses the second generation
of SmOP2 packaging technology where the sen-
sor, passives and lens are assembled in a fully au-
tomated test and focus process, allowing high
volume and low cost production.
