MT9M001 and 2.0-megapixel MT9D001 CMOS
image sensors
High Resolution, High Speed
Micron’s innovative 3-megapixel MT9T001 CMOS
image sensor boasts Micron’s groundbreaking Digi-
talClarity technology, a low-noise functionality that
enables brilliant, high-resolution color images that
rival CCD quality (based on signal-to-noise ratio and
low-light sensitivity), without added power require-
ments. With DigitalClarity technology, our MT9T001
superbly captures single frames as well as continu-
ous video.
What’s more, the sensor’s high-speed readout and
fast auto exposure, auto focus, and viewfinder
modes eliminate two common digital still camera
problems: shot-to-shot delay and button-lag, the
delay between when the camera’s button is pressed
and when the image is actually taken. Together,
these high-resolution, high-speed features make
the MT9T001 ideal for today’s digital still cameras
(DSCs), digital video cameras, and combined DSCs/
camcorders.

Exceptional Functionality
Besides the standard snapshot mode, the MT9T001
offers a global shutter reset, which, when combined
with a mechanical shutter, achieves the simultane-
ous exposure of all rows in a captured image. Two
global shutter modes, programmed exposure and
bulb mode, provide increased flexibility with either
a set or an arbitrary exposure time.
The MT9T001 also supplies row and column binning
modes to minimize the visual impact of artifacts intro-
duced when an image is resized. The sensor supports
both 2X and 3X reductions of the output resolution
and enables independent binning of rows and col-
umns for precise manipulation of images.
Ease of Design,
Speed of Development
With fewer required parts compared to CCD-based
sensors, Micron’s MT9T001 CMOS image sensor sim-
plifies camera design. Its on-chip analog-to-digital
conversion, clock generation, and other sophisti-
cated camera functions enable designers to create
smaller, higher-performance, lower-cost applica-
tions within shorter development periods.
Perfect for These Applications
