Overview

The CAM-5G1-160CLR is a camera expansion module featuring the STMicroelectronics VD55G1 global shutter image sensor. It includes a 160 degree wide-angle lens with a clear filter, providing high-speed image capture capabilities with a 30-pin FPC-to-board interface.

Why Choose This Part

The module streamlines sensor integration by providing a pre-calibrated optical assembly with automatic dark calibration and noise reduction. It supports context management for up to four distinct configurations, allowing the host to switch rapidly between different exposure or cropping profiles.

Applications

Machine Vision
Global shutter technology allows for capturing fast-moving objects without the rolling shutter distortion common in standard CMOS sensors.
Edge AI and Gesture Recognition
Integrated features like background removal and event-like mode optimize the data stream for neural network processing at the edge.
Autonomous Mobile Robots
The 160 degree Field of View (FoV) provides broad spatial awareness for obstacle detection and SLAM algorithms.
Eye Tracking and Biometrics
Utilizes high-speed capture and advanced calibration to monitor rapid movements for secure authentication or human-machine interfaces.

Getting Started

Connect the 30-pin FPC connector to a compatible STMicroelectronics development platform or a custom MIPI CSI-2 host interface. Initial configuration is performed via I2C, while image data is streamed over the MIPI CSI-2 bus; refer to ST's VD55G1 software driver package for register maps and context management.
