Low-power CMOS image sensor
1.3-megapixel resolution (1,280H x 1,024V)
1/2-inch optical format
Up to 30-frames-per-second (fps) progressive scan
for high-quality video
Programmable gain and exposure control
Auto black level calibration
Viewfinder and snapshot modes
On-chip, 10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
Two-wire serial host interface
10-bit parallel data output
Its sync-input, strobe-output, windowing, and hori-
zontal blanking and vertical blanking controls enable
it to capture both continuous video and single frames,
which it outputs in high-quality, progressive-scan
images at up to 30 fps. The user has the choice of
operating the MT9M001’s variable functions, including
the frame rate, exposure, and gain settings, in the
default mode or programming them through a simple
two-wire serial host interface.
Faster Time-to-Market
The MT9M001’s CMOS-based technology is also much
simpler to implement in camera designs compared
to conventional CCD technology, enabling designers
to create smaller, higher-performance applications
with shorter development periods.
CCD-Like Image Quality
Blending the superior image-capture of 1.3 mega-
pixels with advanced noise-reduction technology,
Micron’s MT9M001 is a revolutionary CMOS image
sensor that achieves sharp, CCD-level image quality.
At the same time, it retains all the advantages that
CMOS technology is famous for, including its smaller
form factor, lower power consumption, higher per-
formance, and ease of design.

Powerful Features
The MT9M001 uses a 5.2µm-x-5.2µm pixel size in an
RGB Bayer pattern, resulting in a 1/2-inch optical
format. Sophisticated camera functions, including
programmable gain, exposure control, auto black
level calibration, and snapshot and viewfinder modes,
have been integrated directly onto the chip, reduc-
ing the need for additional parts and increasing
available board space.
Micron’s truly innovative MT9M001 image sensor is
the highest-quality 1.3 megapixel CMOS image sensor
on the market, one that combines the image quality
of CCD technology with the compact size, adaptability,
and ease-of-design of CMOS. For more information
