UCAM-III  Description

The uCAM-III (microCAM-III) is a highly integrated serial camera module that can be attached to any host system that requires a video camera or a JPEG-compressed still camera for embedded imaging applications. The uCAM-III is an updated version of the uCAM-II, but is backward compatible and interchangeable, and has a few enhancements over the previous model which can be taken advantage of (refer to Revision History section).

UCAM-III  Features

Small size, low cost, and low powered camera module for embedded imaging applications.

uCAM-III: 5V DC Supply nominal

On-board EEPROM provides a command-based

interface to the external host via TTL serial link.

On-board 128KB of RAM, an upgrade over the

uCAM-II, which enables complex images with 

texture to be captured without automatic downsampling.

UART: up to 3.68Mbps for transferring JPEG still pictures or raw images.

Onboard VGA color sensor and RAW / JPEG

CODEC for different resolutions.

Built-in down sampling, clamping and

windowing circuits for VGA, QVGA, or 160x120 image resolutions.

Built-in color conversion circuits for 16-bit

Crosby, 8-bit gray, 16-bit RGB, or standard JPEG

images.
