2‑Micron 4‑Megapixel CMOS Image Sensor with PureCel®Plus Technology for Security Applications

OMNIVISION’s OS04C20 is a 2.0‑micron pixel, 4‑megapixel (MP) resolution CMOS image sensor for both IoT and home security cameras. When paired with the designer’s selected platform, the OS04C20 can enable a system ultra low power mode for battery-powered cameras with AI functionality. Additionally, it provides high 2688 x 1520 resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio, while adding the premium near-infrared (NIR) and ultra low light, SNR1s performance of its PureCel®Plus technology. This sensor also offers multiple high dynamic range (HDR) options for the highest quality 4MP still and video captures of fast-moving objects at 60 frames per second.

The OS04C20 is built on the PureCel®Plus pixel architecture to achieve a superior low-noise design, providing an SNR1s that is 150% better than OMNIVISION’s prior-generation OV4689 4MP mainstream security sensor. This new sensor maintains the same high 4MP resolution as the popular OV4689, while adding improved NIR, ultra low light and HDR performance for these IoT and home security cameras, along with a new ultra low power mode that consumes 98.9% less power than the normal mode for longer battery life.

OS04C20 is pin-to-pin compatible with the OS04C10, and also supports RAW 12‑bit output.
