For car owners who are in need of added help in backing up and resolving blind spots, OmniVision offers a next generation compact imaging SoC. The ultra-compact 1/4 inch OV7960 and OV7962 delivers exceptional low-light performance (<0.01/lux) in the world's smallest automotive qualified package - up to 50 percent smaller than competing CMOS devices.

Demand for in-vehicle video cameras is expected to rise as automotive manufacturers integrate video cameras in more mainstream vehicles. According to Techno Systems Research (TSR), a third-party market research firm, the percentage of new vehicles with integrated cameras is projected to increase from ~20 percent in 2008 to nearly 70 percent in 2012. CMOS sensors are projected to represent the majority of unit sales, as CCD unit sales continue to decline.

Offering the world’s smallest package of 6.67 mm x 7.12 mm x 0.71 mm, the OV7960 and OV7692 devices are provided in identical 62-pin AutoVision CSP (aCSP) lead-free packages. Samples are immediately available with volume production projected for the third quarter of calendar 2009.
