TDA7498E vs. TPA3116D2 : Which one is better?

  TDA7498E Description The  TDA7498E   is a dual BTL class-D audio amplifier with a single  power supply  designed for home systems and active speaker applications. It comes in a 36-pin  PowerSSO  package with exposed pad up (EPU) to facilitate mounting a separate  heatsink . TPA3116D2 Description The  TPA3116D2  is a stereo efficient, digital amplifier power stage for driving speakers up to 100W / 2Ω in mono. The high efficiency of the  TPA3130D2   allows it to do 2 × 15 W without an external heat sink on a single layer  PCB . The  TPA3118D2   can even run 2 × 30 W / 8Ω without a heat sink on a dual-layer  PCB ,  If even higher power is needed the TPA3116D2 does 2 × 50 W / 4 Ωwith a small heatsink attached to its top side  PowerPAD . All three devices share the same footprint enabling a single  PCB   to be used across different power levels.

OV7670 vs OV2640 Which one is better?

  OV7670 Description The  OV7670  CAMERACHIP TM  is a low voltage  CMOS  image sensor that provides the full functionality of a single-chip VGA camera and image processor in a small footprint package. The  OV7670  provides full-frame, sub-sampled, or windowed 8-bit images in a wide range of formats, controlled through the  Serial Camera Control Bus    (SCCB) interface. This product has an image array capable of operating at up to 30 frames per second (fps) in  VGA  with complete user control over image quality, formatting, and output data transfer. All required  image processing functions , including exposure control, gamma, white balance, color saturation, hue control, and more, are also programmable through the  SCCB  interface. In addition,  OmniVision CAMERACHIPs  use proprietary sensor technology to improve image quality by reducing or eliminating common lighting/electrical sources of image contamination, such as fixed pattern noise ( FPN ), smearing, blooming, etc., to produce a
