General Description
The ON Semiconductor MT9V023 is a 1/3-inch wide-VGA format CMOS active-pixel digital image sensor with global shutter and high dynamic range (HDR) operation. The sensor has specifically been designed to support the demanding interior and exterior automotive imaging needs, which makes this part ideal for a wide variety of imaging applications in real-world environments.

FEATUREs
• Array format: Wide-VGA, active 752H x 480V
   (360,960 pixels)
• Global shutter photodiode pixels; simultaneous
   integration and readout
• Monochrome or color: NIR enhanced performance
   for use with non-visible NIR illumination
• Readout modes: progressive or interlaced
• Shutter efficiency: >99%
• Simple two-wire serial interface
• Real-time exposure context switching - dual register
   set
• Register lock capability
• Window size: User programmable to any smaller
   format (QVGA, CIF, QCIF). Data rate can be
   maintained independent of window size
• Binning: 2 x 2 and 4 x 4 of the full resolution
• ADC: On-chip, 10-bit column-parallel (option to
   operate in 12-bit to 10-bit companding mode)
• Automatic controls: Auto exposure control (AEC)
   and auto gain control (AGC); variable regional and
   variable weight AEC/AGC
• Support for four unique serial control register IDs to
   control multiple imagers on the same bus
• Data output formats:
   – Single sensor mode:
      10-bit parallel/stand-alone
      8-bit or 10-bit serial LVDS
   – Stereo sensor mode:
      Interspersed 8-bit serial LVDS
• High dynamic range (HDR) mode
