STV0976

Overview

The STV0976 is a low-power digital image processor supporting the VS6650 1.0 Megapixel (1152H x 864V) and VS6590 SVGA (800H x 600V) camera modules. It operates at up to 15 fps for 1.0 Megapixel or 30 fps for SVGA resolutions. The device features SMIA Class 0 sensor and host interfaces operating at 208 Mbit/s with 1.8 V LVDS signaling. Key electrical parameters include a single 1.8 V power supply, 15 µW standby power consumption, and streaming power of 85 mW max at 15 fps. It provides dedicated digital image processing functions including defect correction, noise filtering, demosaicing, and JPEG compression.

Feature Summary

• SMIA Class 0 (208 Mbit/s) sensor and host interfaces
• Integrated digital image processing: defect correction, noise filtering, lens shading correction, demosaicing, sharpening, gamma correction, and color space conversion
• Embedded camera controller for automatic exposure control, white balance, black level compensation, and flicker elimination
• Fine image downscaler with 13 steps of 0.5x from 1x to 7x and 5 steps of 1.0x from 7x to 12x

Applications

• Mobile phone
• PDA
• Wireless security camera

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix when purchasing. The STV0976E variant uses tray packing, while the STV0976E/TR variant utilizes 13-inch tape-and-reel packing. Confirm package compatibility and lead-free status as specified in the datasheet before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select the STV0976 for applications requiring SMIA-compliant megapixel imaging with low power consumption. Ensure the system supports a single 1.8 V supply and accommodates the TFBGA 56 package dimensions of 6mm x 6mm. Verify interface compatibility with either the VS6650 or VS6590 camera modules based on required resolution and frame rate.

Part Context

The STV0976 is pin-compatible with the STV0974 processor. Both devices utilize a TFBGA 56 AFOP lead-free package measuring 6mm x 6mm x 1.2mm. This compatibility facilitates design upgrades or replacements within existing hardware architectures without requiring PCB layout modifications.

Replacement Considerations

The STV0974 is confirmed as a pin-compatible alternative. Verify functional equivalence regarding supported camera modules and processing capabilities before substitution.
