Micron Samples 1/4" 1.3Mp CMOS Sensor For Mobile Handsets
Micron Technology announced sample availability of a new 1/4" complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor, known as MT9M112, that enables 1.3 megapixel SXGA cameras in the same optical format and module form factor.
As with all Micron CMOS image sensors, the MT9M112 is equipped with Micron’s proprietary low-noise, high-sensitivity DigitalClarity technology. The novelty is a fully integrated system-on-chip (SoC) sensor, incorporating additional logic on the device that simplifies the camera module design, related manufacturing processes, system integration, power management, and component count.
Advanced image processing features are designed directly into the MT9M112 including three channel gamma correction, lens shading correction, and color correction. Automatic features include on-the-fly auto defect correction, auto exposure, auto white balance, auto black reference, auto flicker avoidance, and auto color saturation. The camera control sequencer automates the camera’s flash and video clip snapshots. Additional features include 2 by 2 pixel binning, programmable input/output slew rate, mechanical shutter support, and continuous, smooth zoom and pan, as well as day and night mode configurations.
The MT9M112 is capable of recording at 15fps at full resolution and at 30 fps in preview mode. It has a pixel size of 2.8 micron square and contains 1,280 horizontal by 1,024 vertical active pixels (standard SXGA format). Samples for this device are available now and production will commence in December of 2005.
