ON Semiconductor’s
MT9V124 is a 1/13-inch VGA
CMOS digital image sensor with an integrated advanced
camera system. This camera system features a
microcontroller (MCU), a sophisticated image flow
processor (IFP), and a serial port (using LVDS signaling).
The microcontroller manages all functions of the camera
system and sets key operation parameters for the sensor core
to optimize the quality of raw image data entering the IFP.
The sensor core consists of an active pixel array of
648 × 488 pixels with programmable timing and control
circuitry. It also includes an analog signal chain with
automatic offset correction, programmable gain, and a
10-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
The entire system-on-a-chip (SOC) has an ultra-low
power operational mode and a superior low-light
performance that is particularly suitable for medical
applications. The MT9V124 features ON Semiconductor’s
breakthrough low-noise CMOS imaging technology that
achieves near-CCD image quality (based on signal-to-noise
ratio and low-light sensitivity) while maintaining the
inherent size, cost, and integration advantages of CMOS.
Architecture Overview
The MT9V124 combines a VGA sensor core with an IFP
to form a stand-alone solution for both image acquisition
and processing. Both the sensor core and the IFP have
internal registers that can be controlled by the user. In
normal operation, an integrated microcontroller
autonomously controls most aspects of operation. The
processed image data is transmitted to the external host
system through an LVDS bus. Figure 1 shows the major
functional blocks of the MT9V124.
