MT9V023IA7XTC-DP

The MT9V023 is a 1/3-inch wide-VGA format CMOS active-pixel digital image sensor with global shutter and high dynamic range (HDR) operation. The sensor has specifically been designed to support the demanding interior and exterior automotive imaging needs, which makes this part ideal for a wide variety of imaging applications in real-world environments. This wide-VGA 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. The active imaging pixel array is 752H x 480V. It incorporates sophisticated camera functions on-chip—such as binning 2 x 2 and 4 x 4, to improve sensitivity when operating in smaller resolutions—as well as windowing, column and row mirroring. It is programmable through a simple two-wire serial interface. The MT9V023 can be operated in its default mode or be programmed for frame size, exposure, gain setting, and other parameters. The default mode outputs a wide-VGA-size image at 60 frames per second (fps). An on-chip analog-to-digital converter (ADC) provides 10 bits per pixel. A 12-bit resolution companded for 10 bits for small signals can be alternatively enabled, allowing more accurate digitization for darker areas in the image. In addition to a traditional, parallel logic output the MT9V023 also features a serial low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) output. The sensor can be operated in a stereo camera, and the sensor, designated as a stereo-master, is able to merge the data from itself and the stereo-slave sensor into one serial LVDS stream. The sensor is designed to operate in a wide temperature range (–40°C to +105°C).
