Oct. 1, 2009 (Business Wire) -- Electronic components distributor Digi-Key Corporation, recognized by design engineers as having the industry’s broadest selection of electronic components available for immediate shipment, and OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a leading developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, announced today the companies have entered into an agreement for the distribution of OmniVision’s digital imaging solutions in North America.
OmniVision’s products are now in stock and available for purchase through Digi-Key’s US and Canadian websites. Additionally, these products will be featured in future print and online catalogs.
OmniVision uses state-of-the-art CMOS process technologies combined with proprietary pixel architectures and advanced image-processing algorithms to offer a fast and cost-effective way to mass produce top quality CameraChip™ products for high-volume markets. Unlike multi-chip image sensor solutions, the CameraChip requires no additional processing capabilities to deliver high quality still frame and video images. The result is a solution that is smaller in size, draws less power and has a greater environmental functioning range at a cost below the competition. Typical applications include mobile phones, digital still and video cameras, notebook and webcams, medical imaging, automotive imaging, security and surveillance, and games and toys.
Dave Doherty, Digi-Key vice president of semiconductor product, said, “With the certainty that customers seeking high quality digital imaging solutions will find its products to be of significant interest and appeal, Digi-Key is very pleased to partner with OmniVision.”
