Description

The CAM-55G0 promodules are a full range of sample camera modules made for a

seamless evaluation and integration of the VD55G0 0.38-megapixel monochrome

image sensor. These ready-to-use vision extensions integrate VD55G0 image

sensor, lens holder, lens, and plug-and-play flex connection in a tiny format down to

5.0 mm square.

The CAM-55G0 line leverages the complete toolbox of on-chip features of the

VD55G0 image sensor embedded, such as binning, autoexposure, or context

management. Multiple GPIOs enable users to synchronize the modules with triggers

and illumination. Featuring a single lane MIPI CSI-2 output, the promodules are

perfectly suited for embedded low-power setups.

Multiple promodule references are available, featuring various lenses to best match

the needs of every application in terms of optical setup and mechanical constraints.

All camera modules are equipped with the same FPC-to-board connector and pinout.

This plug-and-play architecture allows users to change promodule instantly, and

reuse the same setup with different lenses, color options and even different image

sensors in the ST BrightSense portfolio.

CAM-55G0 promodules can be tested and integrated on computers or embedded

processing boards using hardware and software tools from STMicroelectronics. The

compatible EVK Main and P-Board hardware kits enable straight connection to PC

and embedded processing platforms respectively. Evaluation GUI software and Linux

drivers are available for download from the Imaging Software section of the website.
