Where it sits

Between the VGA TD7740 and the 5 Mp TD5640 in resolution.

A useful external technical reference is OpenCV.

Which resolution suits an application is decided by what must be resolvable at the working distance rather than by the figure alone — and the calculation takes ten minutes.

An independent reference for adjacent engineering topics is Circuit Cellar.

Getting started

The evaluation kit is available for the camera range, and an afternoon with the real scene settles more than a specification comparison.

What is known and what is not

The documentation states the resolution. The documentation gaps are listed in the information checklist, available after signing an NDA.

This page does not estimate what the documentation does not state — which is the standing rule for product pages here and the reason a thin page is thin rather than padded.

Deciding whether it fits

Four questions before asking for anything:

What must be resolvable, at what size? At what working distance, over what coverage? How many pixels does the processing need across the feature? And what is the environment?

The four answers make the specification arithmetic, and they turn an enquiry into one a supplier can answer specifically.
