Add HD Capability to Your Digital Camera Designs
petition. This breakthrough technology dramatically
reduces noise levels and delivers very low dark cur-
rent, exceptional light sensitivity, and a low pixel
height to minimize crosstalk.
Developed using industry-leading 2.2μm pixel
technology, the MT9P401 also comes with all the
advantages of our CMOS technology, including a
small form factor, low power consumption, fast per-
formance, and ease of integration. Sophisticated
camera functions, including programmable gain,
frame rate, exposure time, image mirroring, and
viewfinder and snapshot modes have been incorpo-
rated onto the chip itself.
High-Resolution Image Capture
With a 12-bit ADC, Micron’s MT9P401 enables
high-resolution image capture and HDTV video
formats (1,080 progressive scan) that surpasses
the performance of CCD-based digital still cam-
eras. Furthermore, with 15 fps image capture at
full resolution, it enables specialized high-speed
DSC performance not achieved with CCDs. These
features, paired with advanced functions like pixel
binning (to smooth alias artifacts) and global reset
for snapshot modes, make the MT9P401 the perfect
choice for mainstream digital cameras.

HD Capabilities for the
Mainstream Consumer Market
Seamless, high-definition (HD) video and high-res-
olution still image capture are now possible with
mainstream digital cameras. Micron’s 5-megapixel,
MT9P401 HD image sensor, which fits into a 1/2.5-
inch optical format and is capable of capturing
HD-resolution video (1280 x 720) at 60 progressive
frames per second, brings stunning video and still
photography to compact, plam-size consumer cam-
eras.
