High Resolution, High Speed
Micron’s innovative 3-megapixel MT9T001 CMOS
image sensor boasts Micron’s groundbreaking
DigitalClarity technology, a low-noise functionality
that enables brilliant, high-resolution color images
that rival CCD quality (based on signal-to-noise ratio
and low-light sensitivity), without added power
requirements. With DigitalClarity technology, our
MT9T001 superbly captures single frames as well as
continuous video.
Exceptional Functionality
Besides the standard snapshot mode, the MT9T001
offers a global shutter reset, which, when combined
with a mechanical shutter, achieves the simultaneous
exposure of all rows in a captured image. Two global
shutter modes, programmed exposure and bulb
mode, provide increased flexibility with either a set
or an arbitrary exposure time.
The MT9T001 also supplies row and column binning
modes to minimize the visual impact of artifacts
introduced when an image is resized. The sensor
supports both 2X and 3X reductions of the output
resolution and enables independent binning of rows
and columns for precise manipulation of images.
Ease of Design.
Speed of Development.
With fewer required parts compared to CCD-based
sensors, Micron’s MT9T001 CMOS image sensor
simplifies camera design. Its on-chip analog-to-digital
conversion, clock generation, and other sophisticated
camera functions enable designers to create smaller,
higher-performance, lower-cost applications within
shorter development periods.
Perfect for These Applications

What’s more, the sensor’s high-speed readout and
fast auto exposure, auto focus, and viewfinder modes
eliminate two common digital still camera problems:
shot-to-shot delay and button-lag, the delay between
when the camera’s button is pressed and when the
image is actually taken. Together, these highresolution features make the MT9T001 ideal for
today’s digital still cameras (DSCs), digital video
cameras, and combined DSCs/camcorders.
