General Description

The onsemi 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 onsemi’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.

Features

• High Frame Rate

• Superior Low-light Performance

• Low Dark Current

• Global Reset Release, which Starts the

Exposure of All Rows Simultaneously

• Bulb Exposure Mode, for Arbitrary

Exposure Times

• Snapshot Mode to Take Frames on Demand

• Horizontal and Vertical Mirror Image

• Column and row skip modes to reduce

image size without reducing field−of−view

(FOV)

• Column and Row Binning Modes to

Improve Image Quality when Resizing

• Simple Two-wire Serial Interface

• Programmable Controls: Gain, Frame Rate,

Frame Size, Exposure
