ST announced VS6724 2MP camera module. It uses 2.2um pixel generation.
SNR is quite low 35db, while DR is quite respectable 61db. The sensor is very fast - 30fps at full resolution.
The interface is 8b parallel - a departure from ST-Nokia SMIA standard.
The press release mentions that the sensor will be manufactured at the company’s leading-edge facilities in France, initially at Crolles and later on, also at Rousset. Samples of the VS6724 are available now, with volume production planned during the first quarter of 2007.
