Description

This data brief outlines an ultra small reflowable

CIF+ camera module (VS6451) for use across a

range of mobile phone handsets and accessories.

It is primarily designed to be used as a second

camera in video conferencing applications, but

could equally be used as a primary camera. The

camera silicon device is SMIA class 2 profile 0

compliant and is capable of generating raw bayer

CIF+ images up to 30 fps. The VS6451 supports

the CCI control and CCP2.0 data interfaces.

As different phone platforms have different

baseband processors with varying capabilities, it

may not be possible for all phones to support the

associated image processing algorithms. Where

the baseband cannot support this processing

load, a separate hardware accelerator (STV0984)

device can be incorporated in the phone system

to run the algorithms in hardware. The STV0984

processor can support 2 cameras. The

specifications of these devices are contained in a

separate document.

The module design is optimized to provide an

ultra small footprint and height, and is designed to

be reflowable at lead-free solder profiles. The

product is lead free.

The lens design is optimized for video conferen-

cing and maintains its performance even after the

high temperatures of lead-free reflow.

VS6451 offers an ultra low power consumption

hardware standby mode consuming less than

30 µW.
