Product details

Overview

CAM-6G3-084CLR from STMicroelectronics is a turnkey monochrome camera promodule integrating the VD56G3 1.53 MP global-shutter image sensor, a 2.51 mm EFL f/2.0 lens with 84° diagonal field of view, MIPI CSI-2 (1–2 lane) output, and I²C control interface - designed for rapid evaluation and embedded vision integration in space-constrained systems.

For engineers reviewing the CAM-6G3-084CLR datasheet, CAM-6G3-084CLR pinout, CAM-6G3-084CLR application, or CAM-6G3-084CLR equivalent, key selection factors include its 6.5 × 6.5 mm head footprint, 3.98 mm module height, 30-pin Hirose BM28 FPC connector, RAW8/RAW10 output format, and six GPIOs for trigger/illumination synchronization.

Technical Context

The CAM-6G3-084CLR implements the VD56G3 sensor's on-chip global shutter architecture with configurable binning, cropping, and context management (up to 4 contexts), enabling deterministic exposure timing and multi-scene switching without external frame buffering. Its MIPI CSI-2 interface supports 1- or 2-lane operation at up to 1.5 Gbps per lane, while I²C (SCL/SDA) handles register configuration and status readback.

Power delivery is segmented across three rails: VANA_2V8 (2.8 V analog), VDDIO_1V8 (1.8 V I/O), and VCORE_1V15 (1.15 V core), each decoupled per layout guidelines. The module accepts an external 6–27 MHz clock (CLKIN) and provides temperature sensing and test pattern generation for validation.

Key Specifications

Resolution	1.53 MP (1124 × 1364); supports full-frame capture or programmable ROI for bandwidth reduction.
Optical FoV (D/H/V)	84° / 60° / 69°; enables wide-area coverage in compact mechanical envelopes (6.5 × 6.5 × 3.98 mm head).
EFL & Aperture	2.51 mm focal length, f/2.0; delivers high light sensitivity and shallow depth of field (30 cm → 6 m).
Output Interface	MIPI CSI-2 with 1 or 2 data lanes; compatible with common embedded SoCs (e.g., i.MX8, RK3399, Jetson Nano) without bridge ICs.
Control Interface	I²C (SCL/SDA); allows full register access for autoexposure, gain, timing, and GPIO configuration.
Supply Voltages	2.8 V (VANA), 1.8 V (VDDIO), 1.15 V (VCORE); requires independent LDOs or PMIC sequencing per ST layout recommendations.

CLKP/CLKN	MIPI CSI-2 clock	Differential clock pair; must be matched in length to data lanes for timing compliance.
CLKIN	External clock input	Accepts 6–27 MHz single-ended reference; used for pixel clock derivation and internal PLL locking.
VANA_2V8	Analog supply	2.8 V rail for pixel array and analog front-end; sensitive to noise; requires dedicated LC filtering.
VDDIO_1V8	I/O supply	1.8 V for MIPI and I²C interfaces; defines logic threshold for SDA/SCL and CSI-2 receiver inputs.
GPIO0–GPIO5	Configurable I/O	Programmable as input/output with pull-up/down; used for trigger sync, LED strobe, or context switching via register write.
SCL/SDA	I²C bus	Standard-mode (100 kHz) or fast-mode (400 kHz) interface for configuration and status monitoring.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Global shutter operation	Eliminates motion blur in high-speed inspection; enables precise time-of-flight or synchronized multi-camera capture.
On-sensor autoexposure & dark calibration	Reduces host CPU load and eliminates need for external light metering or calibration routines during startup.

FAQ

What development tools are required to evaluate CAM-6G3-084CLR on a PC?

The CAM-6G3-084CLR requires the ST EVK Main hardware tool for USB connection and the free Evaluation GUI software, both downloadable from ST's Imaging Software portal. No additional drivers or FPGA configuration are needed - the EVK Main handles MIPI-to-USB conversion and power sequencing automatically.

Can CAM-6G3-084CLR be used with NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano without adapter hardware?

Yes - the CAM-6G3-084CLR connects directly to Jetson Orin Nano's MIPI CSI-2 header using the P-Board adapter. Its 30-pin Hirose BM28 connector mates with the P-Board's matching receptacle, and ST-provided Linux kernel drivers support RAW8/RAW10 streaming out-of-the-box with no FPGA or bridge IC.

How does the 84° FoV lens differ optically from the 73° and 152° variants in the same promodule family?

The 84° variant uses a 2.51 mm EFL f/2.0 lens with 30 cm → 6 m depth of field and <1.5% TV distortion, optimized for mid-range working distances where balance between coverage and resolution is critical - unlike the 73° (3.03 mm EFL, longer DoF) or 152° (1.69 mm EFL, extreme wide-angle with higher distortion).

Is the CAM-6G3-084CLR RoHS-compliant and qualified for industrial temperature range?

Yes - CAM-6G3-084CLR meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is rated for operation from –30 °C to +85 °C ambient, validated per ST's industrial qualification standards. The lens adhesive and flex assembly are cleanroom-cured and tested for thermal cycling stability across this range.
