MT9J003
MT9J003 1/2.3‐Inch 10 Mp
CMOS Digital Image Sensor
General Description
The ON Semiconductor MT9J003 is a 1/2.3-inch CMOS
active-pixel digital imaging sensor with an active pixel array of 3856
(H) x 2764 (V) including border pixels. It can support 10 megapixel
(3664 (H) x 2748 (V)) digital still images and a 1080 p (3840 (H) x
2160 (V)) digital video mode. It incorporates sophisticated on-chip
camera functions such as windowing, mirroring, column and row skip
modes, and snapshot mode. It is programmable through a simple
two-wire serial interface and has very low power consumption.
The MT9J003 digital image sensor features ON Semiconductor’s
breakthrough low-noise CMOS imaging technology that achieves
near-CCD image quality (based on signal-to-noise ratio and low-light
sensitivity) while maintaining the inherent size, cost, and integration
advantages of CMOS.
When operated in its default 4:3 still-mode, the sensor generates a
full resolution image at 15 frames per second (fps) using the HiSPi
serial interface. An on-chip analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
generates a 12-bit value for each pixel.

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
The MT9J003 is a progressive-scan sensor that generates
a stream of pixel data at a constant frame rate. It uses an
on-chip, phase-locked loop (PLL) to generate all internal
clocks from a single master input clock running between
Active−Pixel
Sensor (APS)
Array
6 and 48 MHz. The maximum output pixel rate is 80 Mp/s,
corresponding to a pixel clock rate of 80 MHz. A block
diagram of the sensor is shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Block Diagram
The core of the sensor is a 10 Mp active-pixel array. The
timing and control circuitry sequences through the rows of
the array, resetting and then reading each row in turn. In the
time interval between resetting a row and reading that row,
the pixels in the row integrate incident light. The exposure
is controlled by varying the time interval between reset and
readout. Once a row has been read, the data from the
columns is sequenced through an analog signal chain
(providing offset correction and gain), and then through an
ADC. The output from the ADC is a 12-bit value for each
pixel in the array. The ADC output passes through a digital
processing signal chain (which provides further data path
corrections and applies digital gain).
The pixel array contains optically active and
light-shielded (“dark”) pixels. The dark pixels are used to
provide data for on-chip offset-correction algorithms
(“black level” control).
The sensor contains a set of control and status registers
that can be used to control many aspects of the sensor
behavior including the frame size, exposure, and gain
setting. These registers can be accessed through a two-wire
serial interface.
The output from the sensor is a Bayer pattern; alternate
rows are a sequence of either green and red pixels or blue and
green pixels. The offset and gain stages of the analog signal
chain provide per-color control of the pixel data.
The control registers, timing and control, and digital
processing functions shown in Figure 1 are partitioned into
three logical parts:
•
A sensor core that provides array control and data path
corrections. The output of the sensor core is a 12-bit
parallel pixel data stream qualified by an output data
clock (PIXCLK), together with LINE_VALID (LV) and
FRAME_VALID (FV) signals or a 4-lane serial
high-speed pixel interface (HiSPi).
•
A digital shading correction block to compensate for
color/brightness shading introduced by the lens or chief
ray angle (CRA) curve mismatch.

Additional functionality is provided. This includes a
horizontal and vertical image scaler, a limiter, a data
compressor, an output FIFO, and a serializer.
exposure time. Additional I/O signals support the provision
of an external mechanical shutter.
Pixel Array
The output FIFO is present to prevent data bursts by
keeping the data rate continuous. Programmable slew rates
are also available to reduce the effect of electromagnetic
interference from the output interface.
A flash output signal is provided to allow an external
xenon or LED light source to synchronize with the sensor
The sensor core uses a Bayer color pattern, as shown in
Figure 2. The even-numbered rows contain green and red
pixels; odd-numbered rows contain blue and green pixels.
Even-numbered columns contain green and blue pixels;
odd-numbered columns contain red and green pixels.

OPERATING MODES
By default, the MT9J003 powers up with the serial pixel
data interface enabled. The sensor can operate in serial
HiSPi or parallel mode
For low-noise operation, the MT9J003 requires separate
power supplies for analog and digital power. Incoming
digital and analog ground conductors should be placed in
such a way that coupling between the two are minimized.
Both power supply rails should also be routed in such a way
that noise coupling between the two supplies and ground is
minimized.
CAUTION:
ON Semiconductor does not recommend the
use of inductance filters on the power
supplies or output signals.

All power supplies should be adequately decoupled.
ON Semiconductor recommends a resistor value of 1.5 kΩ, but it may be greater for slower two-wire speed.
This pull-up resistor is not required if the controller drives a valid logic level on SCLK at all times.
The GPI pins can be statically pulled HIGH or LOW to be used as module IDs, or they can be programmed to perform
special functions (TRIGGER, OE_N, S
ADDR
, STANDBY) to be dynamically controlled.

during normal operation.
The parallel interface output pads can be left unconnected if the serial output interface is used.
ON Semiconductor recommends that 0.1
μ
F and 10
μF
decoupling capacitors for each power supply are mounted as
close as possible to the pad. Actual values and results may vary depending on layout and design considerations. Check
the MT9J003 demo headboard schematics for circuit recommendations
ON Semiconductor recommends that analog power planes are placed in a manner such that coupling with the digital
power planes is minimized.
The signal path between the HiSPi serial transmitter and receiver should be adequately designed to minimize any
trans-impedance mismatch and/or reflections on the data path.
