Product details

Overview

CAM-6GY-084VIS from STMicroelectronics is a turnkey camera module integrating the VD66GY 1.53 MP global-shutter CMOS image sensor, an f/2.0 2.51 mm EFL lens with 84° diagonal field of view, MIPI CSI-2 (1–2 lane) output, and 30-pin Hirose BM28 FPC connector - designed for rapid evaluation and embedded vision integration in space-constrained applications such as industrial inspection and compact robotics.

For engineers reviewing the CAM-6GY-084VIS datasheet, CAM-6GY-084VIS pinout, CAM-6GY-084VIS application, or CAM-6GY-084VIS equivalent, key selection considerations include its 84° DFOV optical performance, 6.5 × 6.5 mm head footprint, MIPI CSI-2 interface compatibility, GPIO-triggered synchronization capability, and plug-and-play interoperability across ST's promodule ecosystem.

Technical Context

The CAM-6GY-084VIS implements the VD66GY sensor's on-chip global shutter architecture with hardware binning (2×2), autoexposure control, and context management supporting up to four independent imaging configurations. Its MIPI CSI-2 output operates at 1 or 2 data lanes with embedded clock recovery, enabling low-power, high-integrity image streaming to host processors.

It uses three regulated supply rails (VANA_2V8, VDDIO_1V8, VCORE_1V15), accepts 6–27 MHz external clock input, and provides six configurable GPIOs for trigger synchronization, illumination control, and status signaling - all routed through a standardized 30-pin FPC-to-board interface shared across ST's CAM-66GY family.

FAQ

What development hardware is required to evaluate CAM-6GY-084VIS on a PC?

The CAM-6GY-084VIS requires the ST EVK Main evaluation kit to connect via USB to a Windows PC. This kit provides the bridge from the module's MIPI CSI-2 output to USB video class (UVC) format, enabling immediate use with the free Evaluation GUI software for live preview, register tuning, and image capture without driver development.

Can CAM-6GY-084VIS be used with embedded Linux platforms?

Yes - the module interfaces directly to MIPI CSI-2 capable SoCs (e.g., NXP i.MX8, STMP32MP1, Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4) using the P-Board adapter. ST provides open-source Linux kernel drivers and V4L2 user-space utilities, enabling integration into Yocto or Buildroot-based systems with minimal BSP modification.

How does the 84° DFOV lens differ optically from the 73° and 152° variants?

The CAM-6GY-084VIS uses a 2.51 mm EFL f/2.0 lens with 84° DFOV and 30 cm → 6 m depth of field - optimized for mid-range working distances. It offers higher light throughput than the 73° variant (f/2.2) and significantly lower TV distortion (<1.5%) than the 152° ultra-wide lens (<27%), balancing field coverage and geometric fidelity.

Is the CAM-6GY-084VIS compatible with other ST promodules' mechanical and electrical interfaces?

Yes - all CAM-66GY variants share identical 30-pin Hirose BM28 connector pinout, mechanical mounting footprint, and optical center offset (7.45 mm). This enables direct hardware reuse across lens options, monochrome variants (e.g., CAM-56G3), and future VD66GY-based modules without PCB redesign or firmware changes.
