MicroCAM 3 (uCAM-III)

The uCAM-III (microCAM-III) is a highly integrated serial camera module which can be attached to any host system

that requires a video camera or a JPEG compressed still camera for embedded imaging applications, and is the new

upgrade to the popular uCAM-II, which is backwards compatible but includes some additional features.

The module uses a CMOS VGA colour sensor along with a JPEG compression chip that provides a low cost and low

powered camera system. The module has an on-board serial interface (TTL) that is suitable for a direct connection to

any host micro-controller UART or a PC system COM port.

The uCAM-III is capable of outputting both RAW format and JPEG format images.

User commands are sent using a simple serial protocol that can instruct the camera to send low resolution (80x60

to 160x120) single frame raw images for viewing or high resolution (160x128 to 640x480) JPEG images for storage

or viewing.

The uCAM-III comes in a compact form factor with a built in lens and a 5-wire connector that provides easy access

to both power and serial data.

There are 3 lenses available for this camera from 4D Systems. A 56 degree (Standard), a 76 degree, and a 116

degree.

These are available to purchase from 4D Systems separately if required. The uCAM-III ships with the 56 degree lens

installed.

There is a locking nut on the barrel thread of the lens, which is used to lock the focus in place once set, to prevent it

from inadvertently being changed.

OVERVIEW

Information about the module

•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 external host via TTL serial link.

•UART: up to 3.68Mbps for transferring JPEG still

pictures or raw images.

•On board VGA colour 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 colour conversion circuits for 16-bit CrYCbY,

8-bit gray, 16-bit RGB or standard JPEG images.

•No external DRAM required.

•Additions lenses available

•Locking nut for locking focus in place

•Weight ~6g.

•Dimensions: 32mm x 32mm x 21mm (without lens,

including header)

•RoHS

The uCAM-III is a backwards-compatible upgrade to the uCAM-II

It can be used in places where the uCAM-II was used, but adds additional benefits such as:

•Addition of Hardware Reset on 5-way header pin.

•Addition of 128KB of RAM on the camera to allow uCAM to handle more complex images rather than degrade

picture quality.

•Addition of new commands exposure, contrast and brightness control, as well as adjustable sleep timeouts.

•Pullup Resistor on RX pin to prevent floating pin being mistaken as data.
