MT9V032 Image Sensor
Limited Data Sheet
Micron’s MT9V032 is a 1/3-inch wide-VGA format CMOS
active-pixel digital image sensor with global shutter and high
dynamic range (HDR) operation. Designed to support interior
and exterior unattended surveillance imaging needs, the sen-
sor is ideal for a wide variety of imaging applications in real-
world environments. This wide-VGA CMOS image sensor features
DigitalClarity™, Micron’s breakthrough low-noise CMOS imaging
technology that achieves CCD image quality (based on signal-to-
noise ratio and low-light sensitivity) while maintaining the inher-
ent size, cost, and integration advantages of CMOS.
