1/4-Inch SOC VGA CMOS Digital Image
Sensor
MT9V131I29STC (iCSP)
MT9V131C12STC (CLCC)
Features
•Micron
® DigitalClarity® CMOS imaging technology
• System-On-a-Chip (SOC)—Completely integrated
camera system
• Ultra low-power, high fidelity CMOS image sensor
• Superior low-light performance
• Up to 30 fps progressive scan at 27 MHz for high-
quality video at VGA resolution
• On-chip image flow processor (IFP) performs
sophisticated processing: color recovery and
correction, sharpening, gamma, lens shading
correction, on-the-fly defect correction, 2X fixed
zoom
• Automatic exposure, white balance and black
compensation, flicker avoidance, color saturation,
and defect identification and correction, auto frame
rate, back light compensation
• Xenon and LED-type flash support
• Two-wire serial programming interface
• Progressive scan ITU_R BT.656 (YCbCr), YUV,
565RGB, 555RGB, and 444RGB output data formats
Applications
•Security
•Biometrics
• Network cameras
• Toys and other battery-powered products
The sensor is a complete camera-on-a-chip solution
and is designed specifically to meet the demands of
battery-powered products such as security cameras,
PDAs, and toys. It incorporates sophisticated camera
functions on-chip and is programmable through a
simple two-wire serial interface.
