General Description
The ON Semiconductor MT9M034 is a 1/3-inch CMOS
digital image sensor with an active-pixel array of
1280H x 960V. It captures images in either linear or
high dynamic range modes, with a rolling-shutter
readout. It includes sophisticated camera functions
such as auto exposure control, windowing, and both
video and single frame modes. It is designed for both
low light and high dynamic range scene performance.
It is programmable through a simple two-wire serial
interface. The MT9M034 produces extraordinarily
clear, sharp digital pictures, and its ability to capture
both continuous video and single frames makes it the
perfect choice for a wide range of applications, includ-
ing surveillance and HD video.

General Description
MT9M034: 1/3-Inch CMOS Digital Image Sensor
General Description
The ON Semiconductor MT9M034 can be operated in its default mode or programmed
for frame size, exposure, gain, and other parameters. The default mode output is a 960p-
resolution image at 45 frames per second (fps). In linear mode, it outputs 12-bit raw
data. In high dynamic range mode, it outputs 12-bit compressed data using parallel
output. The device may be operated in video (master) mode or in single frame trigger
mode.
FRAME_VALID and LINE_VALID signals are output on dedicated pins, along with a
synchronized pixel clock in parallel mode.
The MT9M034 includes additional features to allow application-specific tuning:
windowing and offset, adjustable auto-exposure control, auto black level correction, and
on-board temperature sensor. Optional register information and histogram statistic
information can be embedded in first and last 2 lines of the image frame.
The sensor is designed to operate in a wide temperature range (–30°C to +70°C).
Functional Overview
The MT9M034 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) that can be optionally
enabled to generate all internal clocks from a single master input clock running between
6 and 50 MHz The maximum output pixel rate is 74.25 Mp/s, corresponding to a clock
rate of 74.25 MHz. Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the sensor.

User interaction with the sensor is through the two-wire serial bus, which communi-
cates with the array control, analog signal chain, and digital signal chain. The core of the
sensor is a 1.2 Mp Active- Pixel Sensor array. The timing and control circuitry sequences
through the rows of the array, resetting and then reading each row in turn. In the time
interval between resetting a row and reading that row, the pixels in the row integrate
incident light. The exposure is controlled by varying the time interval between reset and
readout. Once a row has been read, the data from the columns is sequenced through an

analog signal chain (providing offset correction and gain), and then through an analog-
to-digital converter (ADC). The output from the ADC is a 12-bit value for each pixel in
the array. The ADC output passes through a digital processing signal chain (which
provides further data path corrections and applies digital gain). The sensor also offers a
high dynamic range mode of operation where multiple images are combined on-chip to
produce a single image at 20-bit per pixel value. A compressing mode is further offered
to allow this 20-bit pixel value to be transmitted to the host system as a 12-bit value with
close to zero loss in image quality. The pixel data are output at a rate of up to 74.25 Mp/s,
in parallel to frame and line synchronization signals.

Notes:
1. All power supplies must be adequately decoupled.
2. ON Semiconductor recommends a resistor value of 1.5k, but a greater value may be used for
slower two-wire speed.
3. This pull-up resistor is not required if the controller drives a valid logic level on SCLK at all times.
4. ON Semiconductor recommends that 0.1μF and 10μF decoupling capacitors for each power supply
are mounted as close as possible to the pad. Actual values and results may vary depending on lay-

out and design considerations. Check the demo headboard schematics for circuit recommenda-
tions.
5. ON Semiconductor recommends that analog power planes are placed in a manner such that cou-
pling with the digital power planes is minimized.
I/O signals voltage must be configured to match VDD_IO voltage to minimize any leakage currents.
6.
7. The serial interface output pads and VDDSLVS can be left unconnected if the parallel output inter-
face is used.
