MagnaChip Semiconductor announced the launch of two new CMOS image sensors for the mobile phone camera market.

The MC521EA is a 1/4” optical format 2 megapixel (1600 x 1200) CMOS sensor with integrated advanced image processing, one time programmable, non-volatile memory enabling unique module serialization and calibration, a MIPI (Mobile Industry Process Interface) port and GPIOs, which can be used to support autofocus, as well as other camera functions.

The MC511EA is a 1/5” optical format 1.3 megapixel (1280 x 1024) CMOS sensor that offers the same advanced image processing and control functions as the MC521EA and enables modules as small as 6x6x4mm. This small form factor, together with support for a single 2.8V power supply and low power consumption allows OEMs to address the substantial market requirement for slim and low cost industrial designs.

The products will be showcased at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona, Spain from February 12 - 15, 2007.
