Omnivision Announces AutoVision Sensors

Yahoo: Omnivision unveiled its AutoVision solutions for usage in driver assistance applications such as back-up camera and blind spot detection systems. The ultra-compact 1/4" OV7960 and OV7962 deliver responsivity of 12V/lux-sec in what is claimed to be "the world's smallest automotive qualified package - up to 50% smaller than competing CMOS devices". The 62-pin CSP package size is 6.67 mm x 7.12 mm x 0.71 mm.

The OV7960 is optimized for interlaced NTSC/PAL signal formats to directly interface with in-car LCD screens or devices with 75 Ohm loading, while the OV7962 is optimized for digital progressive and analog applications. Both versions operate across a wide-temperature range, from -40 degrees C to 105 degrees C meeting AEC-Q100, grade-2 requirements.

Samples are immediately available with volume production planned for the third quarter of calendar 2009. According to TSR, the percentage of new vehicles with integrated cameras is projected to increase from ~20% in 2008 to nearly 70% in 2012.
