1/2.5-Inch 5 Mp CMOS
Digital Image Sensor
General Description
www.onsemi.com
The ON Semiconductor MT9P031 is a 1/2.5−inch CMOS
active−pixel digital image sensor with an active imaging pixel array of
2592 H x 1944 V. It incorporates sophisticated camera functions
on−chip such as windowing, column and row skip mode, and snapshot
mode. It is programmable through a simple two−wire serial interface.
The 5 Mp CMOS image sensor features ON Semiconductor’s
breakthrough low−noise CMOS imaging technology that achieves
CCD image quality (based on signal−to−noise ratio and low−light
sensitivity) while maintaining the inherent size, cost, and integration
advantages of CMOS.

DESCRIPTION
The MT9P031 sensor can be operated in its default mode
or programmed by the user for frame size, exposure, gain
setting, and other parameters. The default mode outputs a
full resolution image at 14 frames per second (fps).
An on−chip analog−to−digital converter (ADC) provides
12 bits per pixel. FRAME_VALID (FV) and LINE_VALID
(LV) signals are output on dedicated pins, along with a pixel
clock that is synchronous with valid data.
FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
The MT9P031 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

The MT9P031produces extraordinarily clear, sharp
digital pictures, and its ability to capture both continuous
video and single frames makes it the perfect choice for a
wide range of consumer and industrial applications,
including cell phones, digital still cameras, digital video
cameras, and PC cameras..

corresponding to a clock rate of 96 MHz. Figure 1 illustrates

User interaction with the sensor is through the two−wire
serial bus, which communicates with the array control,
analog signal chain, and digital signal chain. The core of the
sensor is a 5 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

Output

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
96 Mp/s, in addition to frame and line synchronization
signals.

MT9P031
PIXEL DATA FORMAT
Pixel Array Structure
The MT9P031 pixel array consists of a 2752−column by
2004−row matrix of pixels addressed by column and row.
The address (column 0, row 0) represents the upper−right
corner of the entire array, looking at the sensor, as shown in
Figure 4.
The array consists of a 2592−column by 1944−row active
region in the center representing the default output image,
surrounded by a boundary region (also active), surrounded
by a border of dark pixels (see Table 4 and Table 5). The
boundary region can be used to avoid edge effects when
doing color processing to achieve a 2592 x 1944 result
image, while the optically black column and rows can be
used to monitor the black level.
Pixels are output in a Bayer pattern format consisting of
four “colors”−GreenR, GreenB, Red, and Blue (Gr, Gb, R,
B)−representing three filter colors. When no mirror modes
are enabled, the first row output alternates between Gr and
R pixels, and the second row output alternates between B
and Gb pixels. The Gr and Gb pixels have the same color
filter, but they are treated as separate colors by the data path
and analog signal chain.
