1 Introduction
The MT9F002 camera module features Aptina’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.
When operated in its default 4:3 still-mode, the sensor generates a full resolution
(4384x3288)image at 6.5 frames per second (fps) using the Parallel interface. An on-chip
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) generates a 12-bit value for each pixel.
The MT9F002 is a progressive-scan sensor that generates a stream of pixel data at a constant
frame rate. It uses an on-chip, phase-locked loop (PLL) to generate all internal clocks from a
single master input clock running between 2 and 64 MHz. The maximum output pixel rate is 96
Mp/s for parallel I/F, corresponding to a pixel clock rate of 96 MHz. It incorporates sophisticated
on-chip camera functions such as windowing, mirroring, binning and skip modes, and snapshot
mode. It is programmable through a simple two-wire serial interface and has very low power
consumption.
The camera uses a Bayer color pattern, as shown in the following figure. The even-numbered
rows contain green and red pixels; odd-numbered rows contain blue and green pixels.
Even-numbered columns contain green and blue pixels; odd-numbered columns contain red and
green pixels.
