General Description 
The OV6630 (color) and OV6130 (black and white) CMOS Im-
age sensors are single-chip video/imaging camera devices 
designed to provide a high level of functionality in a single, 
small-footprint package. Both devices incorporate a 352 x 288 
image array capable of operating up to 60 frames per second 
image capture. Proprietary sensor technology utilizes advanced 
algorithms to cancel Fixed Pattern Noise (FPN), eliminate 
Frame exposure/line exposure option

 Color saturation, brightness, contrast, white balance, 
exposure time, gain 
smearing, and drastically reduce blooming. All needed camera 
functions including exposure control, gamma, gain, white 
balance, color matrix, windowing, and more, are programmable 
through an I

C interface. Both devices can be programmed to 
provide image output in 4-bit, 8-bit or 16-bit digital formats. 
Applications include: Video Conferencing, Video Phone, Video 
Mail, Still Image, and PC Multimedia.
