Product details

Overview

CAM-6G3-152CLR from STMicroelectronics is a turnkey camera promodule integrating the VD56G3 1.53 MP global-shutter monochrome image sensor, ultra-wide-angle lens (152° diagonal FoV), lens holder, and 30-pin FPC-to-board connector in a 9.0 × 9.0 × 7.15 mm mechanical package. It delivers RAW8/RAW10 MIPI CSI-2 output over 1–2 lanes, supports autoexposure, binning, and context management, and is optimized for embedded vision evaluation in space-constrained applications such as industrial inspection and robotics.

For engineers reviewing the CAM-6G3-152CLR datasheet, CAM-6G3-152CLR pinout, CAM-6G3-152CLR application, or CAM-6G3-152CLR equivalent, this module enables rapid validation of wide-field-of-view machine vision systems using ST's EVK Main (USB host) or P-Board (MIPI CSI-2 embedded platform), with full Linux driver and GUI software support.

Technical Context

The CAM-6G3-152CLR implements the VD56G3 sensor's on-chip global shutter architecture with 1124 × 1364 resolution and 3.75 µm pixel pitch, enabling motion-free capture in high-speed industrial settings. Its 152° DFOV lens (EFL = 1.69 mm, f/2.0) achieves ultra-wide coverage with TV distortion <27%, while maintaining focus from 14.4 cm to infinity.

Electrical integration is standardized across ST promodules: 30-pin Hirose BM28 B0.6-30DP/2-0.35V connector, dual-supply operation (VANA_2V8, VDDIO_1V8, VCORE_1V15), I²C control (SCL/SDA), six GPIOs for trigger/illumination sync, and MIPI CSI-2 compliant timing with 6–27 MHz external clock input.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Resolution	1.53 MP (1124 × 1364); supports real-time 60 fps at full resolution for high-throughput inspection.
Optical FoV	152° diagonal / 97° horizontal / 118° vertical; captures full scene without mechanical pan-tilt in compact enclosures.
Output Interface	MIPI CSI-2 with 1 or 2 data lanes; enables low-power, high-bandwidth connection to SoCs like i.MX8 or STM32MP1.
Lens EFL & Aperture	1.69 mm focal length, f/2.0; maximizes light capture in low-illumination environments while minimizing module height.
Depth of Field	14.4 cm → ∞; eliminates manual refocusing during deployment in variable-distance applications.
Supply Voltages	VANA_2V8, VDDIO_1V8, VCORE_1V15; decoupled analog/digital domains ensure low-noise image acquisition.
GPIO Count	6 dedicated GPIOs; allows hardware-triggered capture and synchronized LED illumination control.

Pinout & Package

Package: 9.0 × 9.0 × 7.15 mm module head dimension; 13.65 × 9.0 × 7.15 mm total footprint with Hirose BM28 B0.6-30DP/2-0.35V 30-pin FPC-to-board connector.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
GND	Ground reference	Multiple GND pins provide low-impedance return paths for analog, digital, and power domains.
VCORE_1V15	Digital core supply	Powers sensor logic and MIPI transmitter; requires tight regulation for stable CSI-2 signaling.
XSHUTDOWN	Hardware reset input	Active-low signal to fully power down sensor; enables system-level power gating.

CLKP/CLKN	MIPI CSI-2 clock lane	Differential clock for synchronous data recovery; critical for timing margin in high-speed mode.
CLKIN	External clock input	Accepts 6–27 MHz crystal or oscillator; used for sensor timing and PLL synchronization.
VANA_2V8	Analog supply	Powers pixel array and analog front-end; isolated routing prevents noise coupling into image data.
VDDIO_1V8	I/O supply	Drives I²C and GPIO interfaces; matches common SoC I/O voltage levels.
GPIO0–GPIO5	General-purpose I/O	Configurable as inputs/outputs for trigger sync, illumination control, or status feedback.
SCL/SDA	I²C control interface	Standard two-wire bus for register configuration, exposure control, and sensor status readback.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Ultra-wide 152° DFOV lens	Enables single-camera coverage of large areas (e.g., conveyor belt width >1 m at 30 cm distance), reducing system cost and complexity.
Global shutter operation	Eliminates motion blur in fast-moving object inspection (e.g., PCB assembly lines), ensuring pixel-accurate measurement without rolling shutter artifacts.
On-sensor context management (4 contexts)	Allows pre-programmed exposure/gain/ROI configurations to be switched in <1 ms-ideal for multi-stage automated optical inspection (AOI).
Defective pixel correction & auto dark calibration	Reduces post-processing load on host processor and maintains consistent image quality across temperature and aging variations.
Plug-and-play 30-pin connector compatibility	Permits rapid lens/sensor substitution across ST BrightSense promodules without redesigning carrier board layout or firmware.

FAQ

What development tools are required to evaluate CAM-6G3-152CLR?

The CAM-6G3-152CLR requires either the ST EVK Main hardware tool (for USB-connected PC evaluation with Evaluation GUI software) or the P-Board hardware tool (for direct MIPI CSI-2 connection to embedded platforms running Linux). Both tools include compatible drivers and open-source software stacks downloadable from ST's Imaging Software portal.

Does CAM-6G3-152CLR support color imaging?

No - CAM-6G3-152CLR is a monochrome variant based on the VD56G3 sensor. ST offers a separate color version under order code CAM-66GY. The 152° lens is optimized for monochrome response; spectral filtering and Bayer pattern interpolation are not implemented in this module.

Can the 152° lens be replaced with other lenses on the same module?

No - the lens is permanently focused, glued, and tested in a cleanroom environment. Mechanical and optical alignment is fixed per part number. Lens interchangeability is achieved only by swapping entire promodules (e.g., CAM-6G3-152CLR → CAM-6G3-084CLR), leveraging the identical 30-pin connector and pinout.

What is the maximum frame rate achievable with CAM-6G3-152CLR at full resolution?

At full 1124 × 1364 resolution and RAW10 format, CAM-6G3-152CLR supports up to 60 fps using 2-lane MIPI CSI-2 at 1.5 Gbps per lane. Frame rate scales with lane count and format: RAW8 enables up to 75 fps, while cropped or binned modes exceed 120 fps depending on ROI size and processing constraints.
