OG0TC is the first global shutter image sensor
for AR/VR/MR with OMNIVISION’s on-chip single-exposure DCG™
technology for ghost-free high dynamic range imaging
OMNIVISION, a leading global developer of semiconductor
solutions, including advanced digital imaging, analog, and touch & display technology, today
announced the new OG0TC BSI global shutter (GS) image sensor for
eye and face tracking in AR/VR/MR consumer headsets and glasses.
For the first time ever, OMNIVISION is bringing its patented DCG™
high dynamic range (HDR) technology to the AR/VR/MR market in the
2.2-micron (µm) pixel OG0TC GS image sensor.

With a package size of just 1.64mm x 1.64mm, the OG0TC is an
ultra-small and low-power image sensor for optimizing primarily
inward-facing tracking cameras. This small form factor is key to
industrial designs as multiple cameras are required for tracking
all aspects of the face (eyes, brows, lips, etc.). The OG0TC is
pin-to-pin compatible with OMNIVISION’s previous-generation BSI GS
image sensor for easy upgrades.
“Ultra-low power consumption is critical for AR/VR
battery-powered devices, and our OG0TC BSI GS image sensor reduces
power by more than 40% over our previous-generation OG0TB sensor,
which is already an extremely low-power device,” says Devang Patel,
marketing director – IoT/Emerging, OMNIVISION. “Pin-to-pin
compatibility makes the upgrade to the OG0TC easy for our
customers, so they do not need to make any change to their design
to save power and enjoy new features like DCG™ technology.”
Key features of the OG0TC image sensor include:
- The sensor is built on OMNIVISION’s PureCel®Plus-S stacked-die
technology.
- It features OMNIVISION’s patented DCG™ HDR technology and
offers 400x400 resolution with a 2.2µm pixel in a 1/14.46-inch
optical format.
- Nyxel® technology enables the best quantum efficiency at the
940nm near-infrared (NIR) wavelength for sharp, accurate images of
moving objects.
- It consumes less than 40% of the power at 30 frames per second
(fps) compared with the previous-generation sensor.
- The sensor’s high modulation transfer function enables sharper
images with greater contrast and more detail.
- It supports a flexible interface, including MIPI with
multi-drop, CPHY, etc.
Patel adds, “We are excited to introduce our single-exposure
DCG™ HDR technology for ghost-free image capture to the AR/VR
market. It already has proven to be extremely successful in the
security, mobile and automotive industries.”
The OG0TC GS image sensor is available now for sampling and is
in mass production. For more information, contact your OMNIVISION
