STMicroelectronics CAM-5943-155CLR→CAM-5943-155CLR

The CAM-5943 promodules are a full range of sample camera modules made for a seamless evaluation and integration of the VD5943 5-megapixel monochrome image sensor. These ready-to-use vision extensions integrate VD5943 image sensor, lens holder, lens, and plug-and-play flex connection in a compact format down to 14.0 mm square. The CAM-5943 line leverages the complete toolbox of on-chip features of the VD5943 image sensor embedded, such as hybrid global/rolling shutter, on-chip HDR, multi-exposure and more. Multiple GPIOs enable users to synchronize the modules with triggers and illumination.

Featuring two or four lanes MIPI CSI-2 output and low operating power, the promodules are perfectly suited for embedded low-power setups. Multiple promodule references are available, featuring various lenses to best match the needs of every application in terms of optical setup and mechanical constraints. All camera modules are equipped with the same FPC-to-board connector and pinout. This plug-and-play architecture allows users to change promodule instantly, and reuse the same setup with different lenses, color options and even different image sensors in the ST BrightSense portfolio.CAM-5943 promodules can be tested and integrated on computers or embedded processing boards using hardware and software tools from STMicroelectronics.
