With high image quality, ease of integration, and compact size, the OV2741 is ideal for many endoscopic devices used in diagnostic and surgical procedures, including airway-management (esophagoscopes, laryngoscopes, thorascopes, pleuroscopes, bronchoscopes, mediastinoscopes) and gastro-intestinal (gastroscopes, duodenoscopes, amniscopes) applications.
The OV2741 image sensor has a 1/6-inch optical format for excellent low-light operation, a 1.4-micron pixel size and supports RAW data output. The sensor’s PureCel-S stacked pixel architecture delivers a high-quality images with improved sensitivity, less saturation, high full-well capacity, no blooming and low color crosstalk.
The OV2741’s low power consumption of just 90 mW, while operating at 60 FPS and full HD resolution, keeps the distal tip of the endoscope cooler for greater patient comfort. The OV2741 is also stereo-ready, enabling two image sensors to be synchronized for 3D video during surgical procedures.
The sensor integrates one-time-programmable (OTP) memory to store manufacturing and calibration information. It also has an on-chip pulse width modulator (PWM) to drive LED illumination without the need for an external driver IC. Additionally, the OV2741 can be both autoclaved for reusable applications and sterilized for disposable ones.
Samples of the OV2741 are available now, and it is expected to enter volume production in Q3 2018. The sensor is being demonstrated this week at OmniVision’s Booth #1563 at MD&M East in NYC, June 12-14, 2018.
