Complete Product Portfolio
Micron’s highly anticipated, high-performance,
3.1-megapixel, MT9T012 image sensor, featuring
our exclusive low-noise DigitalClarity technology,
carries on the tradition of excellence that began
with our 1.3-megapixel sensor and delivers best-
in-class image quality for a wide variety of mobile
applications. Like the 1.3-, 2-, and 5-megapixel
sensors in this impressive product family, the lowpower MT9T012 outputs sharp, clear, progressive
scan images while extending an application’s battery life. That combination, together with all of the
usual advantages CMOS image sensors provide—
design simplicity, reduced chip count, low integration costs, and fast time to market—make Micron
imagers a smart choice.
Unprecedented Combination of
High Resolution and Small Form Factor
The MT9T012 achieves a Micron first by squeezing a
3.1-megapixel resolution into a 1/3.2 optical format
while maintaining a screaming 15 fps. Applications
will benefit the high resolution/frame rate combination without sacrificing flexibility.
The MT9T012 integrates many advanced features—
scaling, windowing, row mirroring, left-right frame
reversal, column mirroring, and a power-on reset—
right on the chip. This minimizes its form factor and
maximizes board-space efficiency.
The MT9T012 extends the versatility of its predecessors by supporting 2x2 binning and global reset for
long integration times. Plus, it enables the end-user
to adjust its variable functions, such as frame rate,
programmable gain, and exposure control, through
a simple 2-wire serial interface.
Intrinsic Design and
Lightning-Fast Delivery
Designers will marvel at how easy it is to design an application around our CMOS image sensors. The sensors
make possible smaller, higher-performance products
that take better-quality pictures and consume
less power—and designers can get them on store
shelves faster than ever before.
Applications
