WaveShare OV5640 Camera Board (A) 5 Megapixel 2592x1944 Semiconductor

SKU CH-P5PW-0JRGC

A 5-megapixel camera module with OV5640 sensor captures 2592x1944 images, offers automatic exposure and white balance, and outputs multiple YUV.

  • 5 megapixel resolution at 2592x1944 captures detailed images
  • 4 µm OmniBSI pixels deliver high sensitivity with low crosstalk and noise
  • Automatic AEC, AWB, ABF, ABLC controls simplify image tuning
  • Multiple output formats including YUV, RGB565/555/444, CCIR656 and RAW RGB
  • Compact 35.70 x 23.90 mm board runs on 3.3 V via DVP 8-bit interface

WaveShare OV5640 Camera Board 5MP Module

The WaveShare OV5640 Camera Board (A) is a compact image sensor module built around the OV5640 sensor. It delivers 5 megapixel stills at 2592x1944 resolution and suits embedded vision projects, prototype devices and low-light monitoring where a small 35.70 mm by 23.90 mm footprint is required.

Compatibility Checklist Before Ordering

Your host board must provide a 3.3 V supply and an SCCB control bus that is I2C compatible. The sensor outputs raw pixel data over an 8-bit DVP parallel interface, so the processor or FPGA needs a matching capture port. Verify that your lens mount or enclosure can accommodate the fixed 3.8 mm focal length and 60 degree diagonal field of view.

Upgrade Path and When It Makes Sense

This module replaces lower-resolution VGA or 2 megapixel cameras that use the same DVP and SCCB connections. The jump is worthwhile when an application needs the 1.4 µm OmniBSI pixels for better low-light sensitivity, or requires on-chip scaling, windowing and colour controls such as gamma, saturation and lens correction without extra processing overhead.

Questions about this item

Does the WaveShare OV5640 Camera Board (A) ship with any cables or mounting hardware, or must those be sourced separately?

The package contains only the OV5640 Camera Board (A) itself; any FPC cable, connector or mounting hardware must be purchased separately.

Which resolution and output format should I select for a 5 megapixel capture at 2592x1944 using the DVP 8-bit interface?

Use the full 2592x1944 resolution with RAW RGB or RGB565 output over the DVP 8-bit data bus; both are listed as supported formats for the OV5640 sensor.

What does the 5 megapixel 2592x1944 rating deliver in practice when the module runs at 3.3 V over SCCB control?

It provides a 5 megapixel image at 2592x1944 pixels with 1.4 µm OmniBSI pixels, 60° diagonal field of view, and automatic AEC, AWB and lens correction managed via the SCCB interface.
