Overview
The OV5017is a black and white digital camera chip that uses OmniVision’s CMOS image core
technology. Combining the CMOS sensor technology and an easy to use digital interface, the
OV5017 offers a low cost solution for high-quality video image applications.
The digital video port supplies a continuous byte wide image data. On-chip programmable features include variable frame rate, exposure setting, and image size. All the camera features are register based, accessing the video data and configuring the chip is as easy as read/write of a static memory.
