Semiconductor Camera Module for Embedded Vision

The WaveShare OV5640 Camera Board (B) is a semiconductor image sensor module built around the OV5640 sensor. It delivers 5 megapixel still capture at 2592x1944 resolution for developers integrating cameras into embedded systems, robotics or IoT prototypes.

Fisheye Optics and Board-Level Connectors

A 2.0 mm focal-length fisheye lens provides a 170 degree diagonal field of view on a 1/4 inch sensor with 1.4 um pixels using OmniBSI technology. The 35.70 mm by 23.90 mm PCB exposes an 8-bit DVP parallel data bus and an SCCB control interface compatible with I2C, requiring a 3.3 V supply and direct board-to-board or header wiring.

Host Interface and Voltage Compatibility Check

Before ordering, verify that the host processor or SoC supports an 8-bit DVP camera interface and can drive SCCB at 3.3 V logic levels. The module outputs RAW RGB, YUV 422/420, RGB565/555/444 and CCIR656 formats, so confirm the image pipeline can ingest one of these without additional conversion hardware.

Questions about this item

Which SCCB control interface does the OV5640 camera board use and what practical limit does it set?

The board uses an SCCB control interface that is I2C compatible for register configuration. This serial bus caps the register write speed to standard I2C rates, so initialisation sequences must allow adequate delay between commands.

What physical mounting area does the 35.70 mm × 23.90 mm board need?

The module measures 35.70 mm by 23.90 mm and requires a flat mounting surface with at least that footprint plus clearance for the 2.0 mm focal length fisheye lens that protrudes from the PCB.

How is the OV5640 camera board installed and which step is often missed?

Connect the DVP 8-bit data lines and SCCB control lines to a 3.3 V host, power the module at 3.3 V, then configure the sensor registers over SCCB before enabling the DVP clock; skipping the register setup leaves the sensor in default state and no image data appears.
