The CAM-55G1 modules from STMicroelectronics provide a ready-made camera system for evaluation and integration of the VD55G1 0.56 Mpixel monochrome image sensor. These ready-to-use cameras combine a VD55G1 sensor, lens holder, lens, and flexible printed circuit (FPC) connection, integrated into a single module as small as 5.0 mm2.
Multiple GPIOs enable users to synchronize the modules with triggers and an illumination source. Featuring a single-lane MIPI CSI-2 output, the modules are perfectly suited for low-power embedded vision applications.
The CAM-55G1 cameras are supplied with a choice of lenses to match the needs of various applications, providing different options for optical set-up and mechanical specifications. All camera modules are equipped with the same FPC-to-board connector and pin-out. This plug-and-play architecture allows users to change their choice of module, and re-use the same set-up with different lenses, color options and even different image sensors from the ST BrightSense portfolio.
The modules are backed by a comprehensive set of free enablement software, drivers and evaluation tools, including drivers for a Linux® operating system.
