MT9M032: 1/4.5-Inch 1.6Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor
General Description
General Description
The Micron
®
Imaging MT9M032 is a 1/4.5-inch format CMOS active-pixel digital image
sensor with a pixel array of 1472H x 1096V. The default active imaging array size is
1440 x 1080. It incorporates sophisticated on-chip camera functions such as windowing,
mirroring, and snapshot mode. It is programmable through a simple two-wire serial
interface and has very low power consumption.
The MT9M032 digital image sensor features DigitalClarity—Micron’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.
Functional Overview
The MT9M032 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 8 and 16.5 MHz.
User interaction with the sensor is through the two-wire serial bus, which communi-
cates with the array control, analog signal chain, and digital signal chain. The core of the
sensor is a 1.6Mp 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 data are output at a rate of up to 99 Mp/s, in addition to frame
and line synchronization signals in parallel mode corresponding to a pixel clock rate of
99 MHz. Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the sensor.

MT9M032: 1/4.5-Inch 1.6Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor
Functional Overview
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 (MT9M032C12STC) 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.
A flash strobe output signal is provided to allow an external xenon or LED light source to
synchronize with the sensor exposure time and to support the provision of an external
mechanical shutter.
