MT9V034
1/3‐Inch Wide‐VGA CMOS
Digital Image Sensor
General Description
The MT9V034 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 surveillance imaging needs, which
makes this part ideal for a wide variety of imaging applications in
real-world environments.

This wide-VGA CMOS image sensor features ON Semiconductor’s
breakthrough low-noise CMOS imaging technology that achieves
CCD image quality (based on signal-to-noise ratio and low-light
sensitivity) while maintaining the inherent size, cost, and integration
advantages of CMOS.
The active imaging pixel array is 752 H x 480 V. It incorporates
sophisticated camera functions on-chip-such as binning 2 x 2 and
4 x 4, to improve sensitivity when operating in smaller resolutions-as
well as windowing, column and row mirroring. It is programmable
through a simple two-wire serial interface.

ORDERING INFORMATION
The MT9V034 can be operated in its default mode or be
programmed for frame size, exposure, gain setting, and other
parameters. The default mode outputs a wide-VGA-size image at 60
frames per second (fps).
An on-chip analog-to-digital converter (ADC) provides 10 bits per
pixel. A 12-bit resolution companded for 10 bits for small signals can
be alternatively enabled, allowing more accurate digitization for
darker areas in the image.
In addition to a traditional, parallel logic output the MT9V034 also
features a serial low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) output. The
sensor can be operated in a stereo-camera, and the sensor, designated
as a stereo-master, is able to merge the data from itself and the
stereo-slave sensor into one serial LVDS stream.
