General Description
The Micron® Imaging MT9T001 is a QXGA-format 1/2inch CMOS active-pixel digital image sensor with an
active imaging pixel array of 2,048H x 1,536V. It incorporates sophisticated camera functions on-chip such
as windowing, column and row skip mode, and snapshot mode. It is programmable through a simple twowire serial interface.
The 3-megapixel CMOS image sensor features DigitalClarity—Micron’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.

The MT9T001 produces 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 digital still cameras, digital video cameras, and PC cameras.
The 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 QXGA image at 12 frames per second (fps). An onchip analog-to-digital converter (ADC) provides 10 bits
per pixel. FRAME_VALID and LINE_VALID signals are
output on dedicated pins, along with a pixel clock that
is synchronous with valid data.
