Ruth's sister OV7670 Sensor Camera Module

SKU CH-CDKV-Z7VKM

OV7670 camera module delivers 640×480 VGA video at up to 30 fps over I2C, with programmable gamma, white balance and colour controls

  • VGA capture at 30 fps with 640 x 480 sensor array
  • Low 60 mW draw at 15 fps VGA YUV for battery projects
  • Programmable gamma, white balance and saturation via SCCB bus
  • Operates from -30 °C to 70 °C for harsh environments
  • 46 dB signal-to-noise and 52 dB dynamic range for clear images

OV7670 Sensor Module for I2C Projects

The Ruth's sister OV7670 Sensor Camera Module is a compact image sensor designed for embedded vision applications. It communicates over an I2C-compatible SCCB bus and delivers VGA resolution at 640x480 pixels. The module operates from a 2.5V to 3.0V supply with an internal 1.8V regulator. It suits developers adding basic camera input to microcontroller boards.

Fits Microcontroller Builds with SCCB Control

The sensor connects directly to a host processor through the SCCB interface, requiring only power and two signal lines. It outputs 8-bit data in formats such as YUV, RGB565 or GRB4:2:2, reducing the need for external image processing hardware. The small 1/6-inch optical format and 25-degree field of view allow placement in tight enclosures. Builders must provide a stable IO voltage within the specified range.

Steady 30 FPS VGA Capture Within Temperature Limits

Sustained operation delivers up to 30 frames per second at VGA resolution while drawing 60mW at 15fps. The sensor maintains a 46dB signal-to-noise ratio and 52dB dynamic range for consistent image quality. It functions reliably between 0 and 50 degrees Celsius and survives storage down to -30 and up to 70 degrees. Hibernation current stays below 20 microamperes for low-power intervals.
