Description
The VS6555 is an ultra small reflowable VGA
camera module for use across a range of mobile
phone handsets and accessories. It is primarily
designed to be used as a secondary camera for
video conferencing applications, but could equally
be used as a primary camera. The camera silicon
device is SMIA class 0 profile 0 compliant and is
capable of generating raw bayer VGA images up
to 30 fps. The VS6555 supports the CCI control
and CCP2.0 data interfaces
As different phone platforms have different
baseband processors with varying capabilities, it
may not be possible for all phones to support the
associated image processing algorithms. Where
the baseband cannot support this processing
load, a separate hardware accelerator (STV0984
or STV0986) device can be incorporated in the
phone system to run the algorithms in hardware.
The STV0984 and STV0986 processors can
support 2 cameras.
The module design is optimized to provide an ultra
small footprint and height, and is designed to be
reflowable at lead-free solder profiles. The product
is lead free.
The lens design is optimized for video
conferencing and maintains its performance even
after the high temperatures of lead-free reflow.
VS6555 offers an ultra low power consumption
hardware standby mode consuming less than
30 μW.
