OmniVision unveils OVB0B 200MP sensor for smartphones

OmniVision has announced at CES 2022 the OVB0B– dubbed as the world’s smallest 200MP image sensor with pixel size at just 0.61-micron for high-end smartphones. According to OmniVision, it is the first 200MP to offer 100% quad phase detection (QPD) technology for fast autofocus performance.

The OVB0B features a 16-cell binning capability for 4K2K video with 16 times the sensitivity. In low light environments, it achieves 12.5MP performance with 2.44µm-equivalent pixel size using near pixel 4×4 binning. An on-chip remosaic enables 50MP at 24 frames per second (fps) and 8k video at 30 fps with 1.22µm-equivalent performance. The OVB0B can also output 12.5MP at 30 fps with 3-exposure staggered HDR timing.

The OVB0B supports CPHY, DPHY, and dual DOVDD (1.8V and 1.2V).

“The introduction of 200MP image sensor products for smartphone cameras promises to capture stunning details within images, meeting the needs of smartphone vendors who are aggressively looking to differentiate their devices with enhanced cameras that feature high-resolution image sensors. We estimate more than 40 million image sensors with 100MP+ resolution are expected to be shipped to smartphone vendors in 2022,” said Jeffrey Mathews, Senior Analyst at Strategy Analytics.
