GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The VV5801 (monochrome) and VV6801 (colour) products offer both high resolution and enhanced performance levels.
The VV6801 colour sensor has been developed principally to address the demands of the high resolution colour Digital Stills camera market. It provides high colour fidelity with low colour aliasing which is particularly relevant for stills photography.
The VV5801 monochrome device is ideal for Machine Vision applications. The functionality of the sensor is identical to the VV6801, with higher sensitivity.
Control and readout timing requirements are similar and pinout is backwardly compatable to the VV6850/5850 800K pixel sensors, giving ease of design into existing VV6850/5850 800K pixel applications. The VV6801 and VV5801 have an identical image array size to the VV6850/5850, allowing for existing optics to be used.

CHARACTERISTICS
• High resolution (1300K) CMOS sensor designed for use in Digital Colour Stills Cameras and Machine Vision applications
• Versatile operating modes, including ‘Live Video’ mode, Horizontal Cine mode, and new Vertical Cine modes for viewfinder applications, as well as exposure monitoring modes
• Digital control of pixel reading for flexibility, including external ADC interface
• Control/configuration via serial interface
• External frame/line buffering schemes offer effective pixel offset cancellation and low noise operation
• Bayer pattern R,G,B colourisation (other patterns/colours can be accommodated)
• Monochrome version available - VV5801 - functionally identical to the VV6801, but with higher sensitivity
• Low power operation (125mW Typical)
• Industry standard 84 pin LCC and BGA packages
