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

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.
