OMNIVISION’s OV13A40 is an ultra-compact 8 megapixel image sensor built on OMNIVISION’s second-generation, 1.0-micron PureCel®Plus-S stacked die pixel technology. Designed specifically for dual-camera applications, the OV13A40 achieves a z-height of less than 6.8 mm, meeting the compact space requirements of next-generation smartphones.

A customized chief ray angle (CRA) enables the OV13A40 to be used as a tele-sensor in a 3x optical zoom configuration, which offers DSLR-like image quality and user experience. The OV13A40 is also optimized for dual-camera zoom solutions, with features such as context switching and frame synchronizing to simplify camera system architecture.

The OV13A40 brings a host of advanced imaging capabilities to smartphones, including zigzag high dynamic range (zHDR). The sensor supports multiple resolution and frame-rate configurations, including full-resolution 8 megapixel images and video at 30 frames per second (fps) with zHDR, and 1080p video at 60 fps.
