The OV9762 is a high performance CameraChip™ sensor designed specifically for front-facing camera applications in smartphones and tablets. The OV9762 leverages OMNIVISION’s first 1.87‑micron OmniBSI™‑2 pixel to deliver improved performance and best-in-class 720p high definition (HD) video at 30 frames per second (fps).

The sensor’s slightly larger 1.87‑micron pixel enables enhanced image and video quality in a compact package that is pin-to-pin compatible with the previous-generation OV9760 CameraChip™ sensor.

The OV9762 can record 1.3‑megapixel (1376 x 960 pixels) video at 30 fps, or best-in-class 720p HD video at 30 fps with electronic image stabilization (EIS). When binned to VGA resolution (640 x 480 pixels) video, the sensor delivers twice the sensitivity compared to full resolution, ensuring high quality video capture in difficult low-light conditions.

The OV9762 fits into a 4.3 mm x 4.1 mm package.
