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.
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.
The sensor is designed to operate in a wide temperature range
(–30°C to +70°C).

PIXEL DATA FORMAT
Pixel Array Structure
753 columns by 481 rows of optically active pixels. While
the sensor’s format is 752 x 480, one additional active
column and active row are included for use when horizontal
or vertical mirrored readout is enabled, to allow readout to
start on the same pixel. This one pixel adjustment is always
performed, for monochrome or color versions. The active
area is surrounded with optically transparent dummy pixels
to improve image uniformity within the active area. Neither
dummy pixels nor barrier pixels can be read out.
The MT9V034 pixel array is configured as 809 columns
by 499 rows, shown in Figure 4. The dark pixels are
optically black and are used internally to monitor black
level. Of the left 52 columns, 36 are dark pixels used for row
noise correction. Of the top 14 rows of pixels, two of the dark
rows are used for black level correction. Also, three black
rows from the top black rows can be read out by setting the
show dark rows bit in the Read Mode register; setting show
dark columns will display the 36 dark columns. There are

MT9V034
COLOR (RGB BAYER) DEVICE LIMITATIONS
The color version of the MT9V034 does not support or
offers reduced performance for the following
functionalities.
on all dark pixels’ offset values, the color bit should be
cleared.
Defective Pixel Correction
For defective pixel correction to calculate replacement
pixel values correctly, for color sensors the color bit must be
set (R0x0F[1] = 1). However, the color bit also applies
unequal offset to the color planes, and the results might not
be acceptable for some applications.
Pixel Binning
Pixel binning is done on immediate neighbor pixels only,
no facility is provided to skip pixels according to a Bayer
pattern. Therefore, the result of binning combines pixels of
different colors. See “Pixel Binning” for additional
information.
Other Limiting Factors
Black level correction and row-wise noise correction are
applied uniformly to each color. The row-wise noise
correction algorithm does not work well in color sensors.
Automatic exposure and gain control calculations are made
based on all three colors, not just the green channel. High
dynamic range does operate in color; however,
ON Semiconductor strongly recommends limiting use to
linear operation where good color fidelity is required.
Interlaced Readout
Interlaced readout yields one field consisting only of red
and green pixels and another consisting only of blue and
green pixels. This is due to the Bayer pattern of the CFA.
Automatic Black Level Calibration
When the color bit is set (R0x0F[1]=1), the sensor uses
black level correction values from one green plane, which
are applied to all colors. To use the calibration value based

OUTPUT DATA FORMAT
The MT9V034 image data can be read out in a progressive
scan or interlaced scan mode. Valid image data is surrounded
by horizontal and vertical blanking, as shown in Figure 6.
The amount of horizontal and vertical blanking is
programmable through R0x05 and R0x06, respectively
(R0xCD and R0xCE for context B). LV is HIGH during the
shaded region of the figure. See “Output Data Timing” for

Figure 7. Timing Example of Pixel Data
The PIXCLK is a nominally inverted version of the master
clock (SYSCLK). This allows PIXCLK to be used as a clock
to latch the data. However, when column bin 2 is enabled, the
PIXCLK is HIGH for one complete master clock master
period and then LOW for one complete master clock period;
when column bin 4 is enabled, the PIXCLK is HIGH for two
complete master clock periods and then LOW for two
complete master clock periods. It is continuously enabled,
even during the blanking period. Setting R0x72 bit[4] = 1
causes the MT9V034 to invert the polarity of the PIXCLK.

Equation
Sensor timing is shown above in terms of pixel clock and
master clock cycles (refer to Figure 7). The recommended
master clock frequency is 26.66 MHz. The vertical blanking
and the total frame time equations assume that the
integration time (Coarse Shutter Width plus Fine Shutter
Width) is less than the number of active rows plus the
blanking rows minus the overhead rows:
Window Height ) Vertical Blanking * 2
Table 5. In this example it is assumed that the Coarse Shutter
Width Control is programmed with 523 rows, and the Fine
Shutter Width Total is zero.
For Simultaneous mode, if the exposure time registers
(Coarse Shutter Width Total plus Fine Shutter Width Total)
exceed the total readout time, then the vertical blanking time
is internally extended automatically to adjust for the
additional integration time required. This extended value is
not written back to the vertical blanking registers. The
Vertical Blank register can be used to adjust frame-to-frame
readout time. This register does not affect the exposure time
but it may extend the readout time.
(eq.1)
If this is not the case, the number of integration rows must
be used instead to determine the frame time, as shown in

1. The MT9V034 uses column parallel analog-digital converters; thus short row timing is not possible. The minimum total row time is 704
columns (horizontal width + horizontal blanking). The minimum horizontal blanking is 61 for normal mode, 71 for column bin 2 mode, and
91 for column bin 4 mode. When the window width is set below 643, horizontal blanking must be increased. In binning mode, the minimum
row time is R0x04+R0x05 = 704.

MT9V034
SERIAL BUS DESCRIPTION
Registers are written to and read from the MT9V034
through the two-wire serial interface bus. The MT9V034 is
a serial interface slave with four possible IDs (0x90, 0x98,
0xB0 and 0xB8) determined by the S_CTRL_ADR0 and
S_CTRL_ADR1 input pins. Data is transferred into the
MT9V034 and out through the serial data (SDATA) line. The
SDATA line is pulled up to VDD off-chip by a 1.5KΩ resistor.
Either the slave or master device can pull the SDATA line
down-the serial interface protocol determines which device
is allowed to pull the SDATA line down at any given time. The
registers are 16-bit wide, and can be accessed through 16- or
8-bit two-wire serial interface sequences.
clock pulse. A no-acknowledge bit is used to terminate a
read sequence.
Stop Bit
The stop bit is defined as a LOW-to-HIGH transition of
the data line while the clock line is HIGH.
Sequence
A typical READ or WRITE sequence begins by the
master sending a start bit. After the start bit, the master sends
the slave device’s 8-bit address. The last bit of the address
determines if the request is a read or a write, where a “0”
indicates a WRITE and a “1” indicates a READ. The slave
device acknowledges its address by sending an
acknowledge bit back to the master.
If the request was a WRITE, the master then transfers the
8-bit register address to which a WRITE should take place.
The slave sends an acknowledge bit to indicate that the
register address has been received. The master then transfers
the data 8 bits at a time, with the slave sending an
acknowledge bit after each 8 bits. The MT9V034 uses 16-bit
data for its internal registers, thus requiring two 8-bit
transfers to write to one register. After 16 bits are transferred,
the register address is automatically incremented, so that the
next 16 bits are written to the next register address. The
master stops writing by sending a start or stop bit.
A typical READ sequence is executed as follows. First the
master sends the write mode slave address and 8-bit register
address, just as in the write request. The master then sends
a start bit and the read mode slave address. The master then
clocks out the register data 8 bits at a time. The master sends
an acknowledge bit after each 8-bit transfer. The register
address is automatically incremented after every 16 bits is
transferred. The data transfer is stopped when the master
sends a no-acknowledge bit. The MT9V034 allows for 8-bit
data transfers through the two-wire serial interface by
writing (or reading) the most significant 8 bits to the register
and then writing (or reading) the least significant 8 bits to
Byte-Wise Address register (0x0F0).
Protocol
The two-wire serial interface defines several different
transmission codes, as shown in the following sequence:
1. a start bit
2. the slave device 8-bit address
3. a(n) (no) acknowledge bit
4. an 8-bit message
5. a stop bit
Start Bit
The start bit is defined as a HIGH-to-LOW transition of
the data line while the clock line is HIGH.
Slave Address
The 8-bit address of a two-wire serial interface device
consists of 7 bits of address and 1 bit of direction. A “0” in
the LSB of the address indicates write mode, and a “1”
indicates read mode. As indicated above, the MT9V034
allows four possible slave addresses determined by the two
input pins, S_CTRL_ADR0 and S_CTRL_ADR1.
Acknowledge Bit
The master generates the acknowledge clock pulse. The
transmitter (which is the master when writing, or the slave
when reading) releases the data line, and the receiver
indicates an acknowledge bit by pulling the data line LOW
during the acknowledge clock pulse.
Bus Idle State
The bus is idle when both the data and clock lines are
HIGH. Control of the bus is initiated with a start bit, and the
bus is released with a stop bit. Only the master can generate
the start and stop bits.
No-Acknowledge Bit
The no-acknowledge bit is generated when the data line is
not pulled down by the receiver during the acknowledge

Data Bit Transfer
the serial clock-it can only change when the two-wire serial
interface clock is LOW. Data is transferred 8 bits at a time,
followed by an acknowledge bit.
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The
two-wire serial interface clock pulse is provided by the
master. The data must be stable during the HIGH period of
TWO-WIRE SERIAL INTERFACE SAMPLE READ AND WRITE SEQUENCES
16-Bit Write Sequence
A typical write sequence for writing 16 bits to a register
is shown in Figure 9. A start bit given by the master,
followed by the write address, starts the sequence. The
image sensor then gives an acknowledge bit and expects the
register address to come first, followed by the 16-bit data.
After each 8-bit the image sensor gives an acknowledge bit.
All 16 bits must be written before the register is updated.
After 16 bits are transferred, the register address is
automatically incremented, so that the next 16 bits are
written to the next register. The master stops writing by
sending a start or stop bit.

an acknowledge bit after each 8-bit transfer. The register
address is auto-incremented after every 16 bits is
transferred. The data transfer is stopped when the master
sends a no-acknowledge bit.
A typical read sequence is shown in Figure 10. First the
master has to write the register address, as in a write
sequence. Then a start bit and the read address specifies that
a read is about to happen from the register. The master then

Register Lock
Lock Only Read Mode Registers (R0x0D and R0x0E)
If a unique pattern (0xDEAF) to R0xFE is programmed,
any subsequent two-wire serial interface writes to R0x0D or
R0x0E are NOT committed. Alternatively, if the user writes
a 0xBEEF to register lock register, registers R0x0D and
R0x0E are unlocked and any subsequent two-wire serial
interface writes to these registers are committed.
Included in the MT9V034 is a register lock (R0xFE)
feature that can be used as a solution to reduce the
probability of an inadvertent noise-triggered two-wire serial
interface write to the sensor. All registers, or only the Read
Mode registers– R0x0D and R0x0E, can be locked. It is
important to prevent an inadvertent two-wire serial interface
write to the Read Mode registers in automotive applications
since this register controls the image orientation and any
unintended flip to an image can cause serious results.
At power-up, the register lock defaults to a value of
0xBEEF, which implies that all registers are unlocked and
any two-wire serial interface writes to the register gets
committed.
Lock All Registers
If a unique pattern (0xDEAD) to R0xFE is programmed,
any subsequent two-wire serial interface writes to registers
(except R0xFE) are NOT committed. Alternatively, if the
user writes a 0xBEEF to the register lock register, all
registers are unlocked and any subsequent two-wire serial
interface writes to the register are committed.

MT9V034
FEATURE DESCRIPTION
Operational Modes
The MT9V034 works in master, snapshot, or slave mode.
In master mode the sensor generates the readout timing. In
snapshot mode it accepts an external trigger to start
integration, then generates the readout timing. In slave mode
the sensor accepts both external integration and readout
controls. The integration time is programmed through the
two-wire serial interface during master or snapshot modes,
or controlled through an externally generated control signal
during slave mode.
Simultaneous Master Mode
In simultaneous master mode, the exposure period occurs
during readout. The frame synchronization waveforms are
shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14. The exposure and
readout happen in parallel rather than sequential, making
this the fastest mode of operation.
Master Mode
There are two possible operation methods for master
mode: simultaneous and sequential. One of these operation
modes must be selected through the two-wire serial
interface.

integration period is complete the readout process
commences and the syncs and data are output. Sensor in
snapshot mode can capture a single image or a sequence of
images. The frame rate may only be controlled by changing
the period of the user supplied EXPOSURE pulse train. The
frame synchronization waveforms for snapshot mode are
shown in Figure 17.
Snapshot Mode
In snapshot mode the sensor accepts an input trigger
signal which initiates exposure, and is immediately
followed by readout. Figure 16 shows the interface signals
used in snapshot mode. In snapshot mode, the start of the
integration period is determined by the externally applied
EXPOSURE pulse that is input to the MT9V034. The
integration time is preprogrammed at R0x0B or R0xD2

provide enough time between successive STLN_OUT
pulses to allow the complete readout of one row.
It is also important to provide additional STLN_OUT
pulses to allow the sensors to read the vertical blanking rows.
It is recommended that the user program the vertical blank
register (R0x06) with a value of 4, and achieve additional
vertical blanking between frames by delaying the
application of the STFRM_OUT pulse.
The elapsed time between the rising edge of STLN_OUT
and the first valid pixel data is calculated for context A by
[horizontal blanking register (R0x05) + 4] clock cycles. For
context B, the time is (R0xCD + 4) clock cycles.
Slave Mode
In slave mode, the exposure and readout are controlled
using the EXPOSURE, STFRM_OUT, and STLN_OUT
pins. When the slave mode is enabled, STFRM_OUT and
STLN_OUT become input pins.
The start and end of integration are controlled by
EXPOSURE and STFRM_OUT pulses, respectively. While
a STFRM_OUT pulse is used to stop integration, it is also
used to enable the readout process.
After integration is stopped, the user provides
STLN_OUT pulses to trigger row readout. A full row of data
is read out with each STLN_OUT pulse. The user must

Blanking Control
Horizontal Blank and Vertical Blank registers R0x05 and
R0x06 (B: 0xCD and R0xCE), respectively, control the
blanking time in a row (horizontal blanking) and between
frames (vertical blanking).
• Horizontal blanking is specified in terms of pixel
clocks.
• Vertical blanking is specified in terms of numbers of
rows.
ADC Voltage Reference
The ADC voltage reference is programmed through
R0x2C, bits 2:0. The ADC reference ranges from 1.0 V to
2.1 V. The default value is 1.4 V. The increment size of the
voltage reference is 0.1 V from 1.0 V to 1.6 V (R0x2C[2:0]
values 0 to 6). At R0x2C[2:0] = 7, the reference voltage
jumps to 2.1 V.
It is very important to preserve the correct values of the
other bits in R0x2C. The default register setting is 0x0004.
This corresponds to 1.4 V − at this setting 1 mV input to the
ADC equals approximately 1 LSB.
The actual imager timing can be calculated using Table 4
and Table 5 which describe “Row Timing and FV/LV
signals”.The minimum number of vertical blank rows is 4.
V_Step Voltage Reference
This voltage is used for pixel high dynamic range
operations, programmable from R0x31 through R0x34 for
Context A, or R0x39 through R0x3B for context B.
Pixel Integration Control
Total Integration
Total integration time is the result of coarse shutter width
and fine shutter width registers, and depends also on whether
manual or automatic exposure is selected.
The actual total integration time, tINT is defined as:
Chip Version
Chip version register R0x00 is read-only.
t INT * t INTCoarse ) t INTFint
Window Control
Registers Column Start A/B, Row Start A/B, Window
Height A/B (row size), and Window Width (column size)
A/B control the size and starting coordinates of the window.
The values programmed in the window height and width
registers are the exact window height and width out of the
sensor. The window start value should never be set below
four.
To read out the dark rows set bit 6 of R0x0D. In addition,
bit 7 of R0x0D can be used to display the dark columns in
the image. Note that there are Show Dark settings only for
Context A.

= (number of rows of integration x row time) + (number
of pixels of integration x pixel time)
where:
Number of Rows of Integration
(Auto Exposure Control: Enabled)
When automatic exposure control (AEC) is enabled, the
number of rows of integration may vary from frame to
frame, with the limits controlled by R0xAC (minimum
coarse shutter width) and R0xAD (maximum coarse shutter
width).
www.onsemi.com
18
MT9V034
Number of Rows of Integration
(Auto Exposure Control: Disabled)
If AEC is disabled, the number of rows of integration
equals the value in R0x0B
or
If context B is enabled, the number of rows of integration
equals the value in R0xD2.
this means the frame time must be a multiple of 1/120 of a
second. Under 50 Hz flicker, the frame time must be a
multiple of 1/100 of a second.
Changes to Integration Time
With automatic exposure control disabled (R0xAF[0] for
context A, or R0xAF[8] for context B) and if the total
integration time (R0x0B or R0xD2) is changed through the
two-wire serial interface while FV is asserted for frame n,
the first frame output using the new integration time is frame
(n + 2). Similarly, when automatic exposure control is
enabled, any change to the integration time for frame n first
appears in frame (n + 2) output.
The sequence is as follows:
1. During frame n, the new integration time is held in
the R0x0B or R0D2 live register.
2. Prior to the start of frame (n + 1) readout, the new
integration time is transferred to the exposure
control module. Integration for each row of frame
(n + 1) has been completed using the old
integration time. The earliest time that a row can
start integrating using the new integration time is
immediately after that row has been read for frame
(n + 1). The actual time that rows start integrating
using the new integration time is dependent on the
new value of the integration time.
3. When frame (n + 2) is read out, it is integrated
using the new integration time. If the integration
time is changed (R0x0B or R0xD2 written) on
successive frames, each value written is applied to
a single frame; the latency between writing a value
and it affecting the frame readout remains at two
frames.
Number of Pixels of Integration
The number of fine shutter width pixels is independent of
AEC mode (enabled or disabled):
• Context A: the number of pixels of integration equals
the value in R0xD5.
• Context B: the number of pixels of integration equals
the value in R0xD8.
Row Timing
Context A : Row time + (R0x04 ) R0x05)
master clock periods
(eq. 3)
Context B : Row time + (R0xCC ) R0xCD)
master clock periods
(eq. 4)
Typically, the value of the Coarse Shutter Width Total
registers is limited to the number of rows per frame (which
includes vertical blanking rows), such that the frame rate is
not affected by the integration time. If the Coarse Shutter
Width Total is increased beyond the total number of rows per
frame, the user must add additional blanking rows using the
Vertical Blanking registers as needed. See descriptions of
the Vertical Blanking registers, R0x06 and R0xCE in Table
1 and Table 2 of the MT9V034 register reference.
A second constraint is that tINT must be adjusted to avoid
banding in the image from light flicker. Under 60 Hz flicker,

V_Step Voltages
In the MT9V034, high dynamic range (by setting R0x0F,
bit 0 or 8 to 1) is achieved by controlling the saturation level
of the pixel (HDR or high dynamic range gate) during the
exposure period. The sequence of the control voltages at the
HDR gate is shown in Figure 22. After the pixels are reset,
the step voltage, V_Step, which is applied to HDR gate, is
set up at V1 for integration time t1, then to V2 for time t2,
then V3 for time t3, and finally it is parked at V4, which also
serves as an antiblooming voltage for the photodetector.
This sequence of voltages leads to a piecewise linear pixel
response, illustrated (approximately) in Figure 22 and
Figure 23.

The parameters of the step voltage V_Step which take
values V1, V2, and V3 directly affect the position of the knee
points in Figure 23.
Light intensities work approximately as a reciprocal of the
partial exposure time. Typically, t1 is the longest exposure,
t2 shorter, and so on. Thus the range of light intensities is
shortest for the first slope, providing the highest sensitivity.
The register settings for V_Step and partial exposures are:
• V1 = R0x31, bits 5:0 (Context B: R0x39, bits 5:0)
• V2 = R0x32, bits 5:0 (Context B: R0x3A, bits 5:0)
• V3 = R0x33, bits 5:0 (Context B: R0x3B, bits 5:0)
• V4 = R0x34, bits 5:0 (Context B: R0x3C, bits 5:0)
• tINT = t1 + t2 + t3
For context A these become:
(eq. 5)
t 2 + tINT x (1ń2) R0x0A[3:0] or R0xD1[3:0]
(eq. 6)
t 2 +t INT x (1ń2) R0x0A[7:4] or R0xD1[7:4]

t 3 + R0x0B ) R0xD4 *t 1 *t 2
(eq. 13)
For context B these are:
t 1 + R0xCF ) R0xD6
(eq. 14)
t 2 + R0xD0 * ROxCF ) R0xD7 * R0xD6
(eq. 15)
t 3 + R0xD2 ) R0xD8 * t1 *t2
(eq. 16)
In all cases above, the coarse component of total
integration time may be based on the result of AEC or values
in Reg0x0B and Reg0xD2, depending on the settings.
Similar to Fine Shutter Width Total registers, the user
must not set the Fine Shutter Width 1 or Fine Shutter Width
2 register to exceed the row time (Horizontal Blanking +
Window Width). The absolute maximum value for the Fine
Shutter Width registers is 1774 master clocks.
There are two ways to specify the knee points timing, the
first by manual setting and the second by automatic knee
point adjustment. Knee point auto adjust is controlled for
context A by R0x0A[8] (where default is ON), and for
context B by R0xD1[8] (where default is OFF).
When the knee point auto adjust enabler is enabled (set
HIGH), the MT9V034 calculates the knee points
automatically using the following equations:
t 1 +t INT * t2 * t 3
t 1 + R0x08 ) R0xD3
ADC Companding Mode
By default, ADC resolution of the sensor is 10-bit.
Additionally, a companding scheme of 12-bit into 10-bit is
enabled by the ADC Companding Mode register. This mode
allows higher ADC resolution, which means less
quantization noise at low-light, and lower resolution at high
light, where good ADC quantization is not so critical
because of the high level of the photon’s shot noise.
As a default for auto exposure, t2 is 1/16 of tINT, t3 is 1/64
of tINT.
When the auto adjust enabler is disabled (set LOW), t1, t2,
and t3 may be programmed through the two-wire serial
interface:
t 1 + Coarse SW1 (row * times) ) Fine SW1 (pixel * times) (eq. 8)
t 2 + Coarse SW2 * Coarse SW1 ) Fine SW2 * Fine SW1 (eq. 9)

MT9V034
In the MT9V034, the gain logic divides the image into 25
tiles, as shown in Figure 25. The size and gain of each tile
can be adjusted using the above digital gain control registers.
Separate tile gains can be assigned for context A and context
B.
Registers 0x99–0x9E and 0x9F–0xA4 represent the
coordinates X0/5–X5/5 and Y0/5–Y5/5 in Figure 25,
respectively.
Digital gains of registers 0x80–0x98 apply to their
corresponding tiles. The MT9V034 supports a digital gain
of 0.25–3.75X.
When binning is enabled, the tile offsets maintain their
absolute values; that is, tile coordinates do not scale with row
or column bin setting. Digital gain is applied as soon as
register is written.
NOTE: There is one exception, for the condition when
Column Bin 4 is enabled (R0x0D[3:2] or
R0x0E[3:2] = 2). For this case, the value for
Digital Tile Coordinate
X–direction must be doubled.
Analog Gain
Analog gain is controlled by:
• R0x35 Global Gain context A
• R0x36 Global Gain context B
The formula for gain setting is:
Gain + Bits[6 : 0]
0.0625
(eq. 17)
The analog gain range supported in the MT9V034 is
1X–4X with a step size of 6.25 percent. To control gain
manually with this register, the sensor must NOT be in AGC
mode. When adjusting the luminosity of an image, it is
recommended to alter exposure first and yield to gain
increases only when the exposure value has reached a
maximum limit.
• Analog gain = bits (6:0) x 0.0625 for values 16–31
• Analog gain = bits (6:0)/2 x 0.125 for values 32–64
For values 16–31: each LSB increases analog gain 0.0625
v/v. A value of 16 = 1X gain. Range: 1X to 1.9375X.
For values 32–64: each 2 LSB increases analog gain 0.125
v/v (that is, double the gain increase for 2 LSB). Range: 2X
to 4X. Odd values do not result in gain increases; the gain
increases by 0.125 for values 32, 34, 36, and so on.
The formula for digital gain setting is:

Figure 27. Black Level Calibration Flow Chart
To avoid oscillation of the black level from below to
above, the region the thresholds should be programmed so
the difference is at least two times the offset DAC step size.
In normal operation, the black level calibration
value/offset correction value is calculated at the beginning
of each frame and can be read through the two-wire serial
interface from R0x48. This register is an 8-bit signed two’s
complement value.
However, if R0x47, bit 0 is set to “1,” the calibration value
in R0x48 is used rather than the automatic black level
calculation result. This feature can be used in conjunction
with the “show dark rows” feature (R0x0D[6]) if using an
external black level calibration circuit.
The offset correction voltage is generated according to the
following formulas:
The automatic black level calibration measures the
average value of pixels from 2 dark rows (1 dark row if row
bin 4 is enabled) of the chip. (The pixels are averaged as if
they were light-sensitive and passed through the appropriate
gain.)
This row average is then digitally low-pass filtered over
many frames (R0x47, bits 7:5) to remove temporal noise and
random instabilities associated with this measurement.
Then, the new filtered average is compared to a minimum
acceptable level, low threshold, and a maximum acceptable
level, high threshold.
If the average is lower than the minimum acceptable level,
the offset correction voltage is increased by a programmable
offset LSB in R0x4C. (Default step size is 2 LSB Offset =
1 ADC LSB at analog gain = 1X.)
If it is above the maximum level, the offset correction
voltage is decreased by 2 LSB (default).

Defective Pixel Correction

(eq. 19)
(Analog Gain ) 1) (eq. 20)
Defective Pixel Correction is enabled by R0x07[9]. By
default, correction is enabled, and pixels mapped in internal
ROM are replaced with corrected values. This might be
unacceptable to some applications, in which case pixel
correction should be disabled (R0x07[9] = 0).
Defective pixel correction is intended to compensate for
defective pixels by replacing their value with a value based
on the surrounding pixels, making the defect less noticeable
to the human eye. The locations of defective pixels are
stored in a ROM on chip during the manufacturing process;
the maximum number of defects stored is 32. There is no
provision for later augmenting the table of programmed
defects. In the defect correction block, bad pixels will be
substituted by either the average of its neighboring pixels, or
its nearest-neighbor pixel, depending on pixel location.
Row-wise Noise Correction
Row-wise noise correction is controlled by the following
registers:
• R0x70 Row Noise Control
• R0x72 Row Noise Constant
www.onsemi.com

MT9V034
values from dark columns; it is meant to prevent clipping
from negative noise fluctuations.
Row-wise noise cancellation is performed by calculating
a row average from a set of optically black pixels at the start
of each row and then applying each average to all the active
pixels of the row. Read Dark Columns register bit and Row
Noise Correction Enable register bit must both be set to
enable row-wise noise cancellation to be performed. The
behavior when Read Dark Columns register bit = 0 and Row
Noise Correction Enable register bit = 1 is undefined.
The algorithm works as follows:
Logical columns 755-790 in the pixel array provide 36
optically black pixel values. Of the 36 values, two smallest
value and two largest values are discarded. The remaining
32 values are averaged by summing them and discarding the
5 LSB of the result. The 10-bit result is subtracted from each
pixel value on the row in turn. In addition, a positive constant
will be added (Reg0x71, bits 7:0). This constant should be
set to the dark level targeted by the black level algorithm plus
the noise expected on the measurements of the averaged
Pixel value + ADC value – dark column average ) R0x71[9 : 0]
(eq. 21)
Note that this algorithm does not work in color sensor.
Automatic Gain Control and Automatic Exposure
Control
The integrated AEC/AGC unit is responsible for ensuring
that optimal auto settings of exposure and (analog) gain are
computed and updated every frame.
AEC and AGC can be individually enabled or disabled by
R0xAF. When AEC is disabled (R0xAF[0] = 0), the sensor
uses the manual exposure value in coarse and fine shutter
width registers. When AGC is disabled (R0xAF[1] = 0), the
sensor uses the manual gain value in R0x35 or R0x36. See
“Pixel Integration Control” and the MT9V034 Developer
Guide, for more information.

The exposure is measured in row-time by reading R0xBB.
The exposure range is 1 to 2047. The gain is measured in
gain-units by reading R0xBA. The gain range is 16 to 63
(unity gain = 16 gain-units; multiply by 1/16 to get the true
gain).
When AEC is enabled (R0xAF), the maximum auto
exposure value is limited by R0xBD; minimum auto
exposure is limited by AEC Minimum Exposure, R0xAC.
NOTE: AEC does not support sub-row timing;
calculated exposure values are rounded down to
the nearest row-time. For smoother response,
manual control is recommended for short
exposure times.
When AGC is enabled (R0xAF), the maximum auto gain
value is limited by R0xAB; minimum auto gain is fixed to
16 gain-units.
The exposure control measures current scene luminosity
and desired output luminosity by accumulating a histogram
of pixel values while reading out a frame. All pixels are used,
whether in color or mono mode. The desired exposure and
gain are then calculated from this for subsequent frame.
When binning is enabled, tuning of the AEC may be
required. The histogram pixel count register, R0xB0, may be
adjusted to reflect reduced pixel count. Desired bin register,
R0xA5, may be adjusted as required.

MT9V034
Pixel Clock Speed
The sensor goes into monitor mode when R0xD9[0] is set
to HIGH. In this mode, the sensor first captures a
programmable number of frames (R0xC0), then goes into a
sleep period for five minutes. The cycle of sleeping for five
minutes and waking up to capture a number of frames
continues until R0xD9[0] is cleared to return to normal
operation.
In some applications when monitor mode is enabled, the
purpose of capturing frames is to calibrate the gain and
exposure of the scene using automatic gain and exposure
control feature. This feature typically takes less than 10
frames to settle. In case a larger number of frames is needed,
the value of R0xC0 may be increased to capture more
frames.
During the sleep period, none of the analog circuitry and
a very small fraction of digital logic (including a five-minute
timer) is powered. The master clock (SYSCLK) is therefore
always required.
The pixel clock speed is same as the master clock
(SYSCLK) at 26.66 MHz by default. However, when
column binning 2 or 4 (R0x0D or R0x0E, bit 2 or 3) is
enabled, the pixel clock speed is reduced by half and
one-fourth of the master clock speed respectively. See “Read
Mode Options” and “Column Binning” for additional
information.
Hard Reset of Logic
The RC circuit for the MT9V034 uses a 10 kΩ resistor and
a 0.1 µF capacitor. The rise time for the RC circuit is 1µs
maximum.
Soft Reset of Logic
•
Soft reset of logic is controlled by:
R0x0C Reset
Bit 0 is used to reset the digital logic of the sensor while
preserving the existing two-wire serial interface
configuration. Furthermore, by asserting the soft reset, the
sensor aborts the current frame it is processing and starts a
new frame. Bit 1 is a shadowed reset control register bit to
explicitly reset the automatic gain and exposure control
feature.
These two bits are self-resetting bits and also return to “0”
during two-wire serial interface reads.
Read Mode Options
(Also see “Output Data Format” and “Output Data
Timing”).
Column Flip
By setting bit 5 of R0x0D or R0x0E the readout order of
the columns is reversed, as shown in Figure 29.
Row Flip
By setting bit 4 of R0x0D or R0x0E the readout order of
the rows is reversed, as shown in Figure 30.
STANDBY Control
The sensor goes into standby mode by setting STANDBY
to HIGH. Once the sensor detects that STANDBY is
asserted, it completes the current frame before disabling the
digital logic, internal clocks, and analog power enable
signal. To release the sensor out from the standby mode,
reset STANDBY back to LOW. The LVDS must be powered
to ensure that the device is in standby mode. See ”Appendix
A – Power-On Reset and Standby Timing” for more
information on standby.
Monitor Mode Control
Monitor mode is controlled by:
• R0xD9 Monitor Mode Enable
• R0xC0 Monitor Mode Image Capture Control

rate by 2x and 4x respectively. Column binning does not
increase the frame rate.
Pixel Binning
In addition to windowing mode in which smaller
resolutions (CIF, QCIF) are obtained by selecting a smaller
window from the sensor array, the MT9V034 also provides
the ability to down-sample the entire image captured by the
pixel array using pixel binning.
There are two resolution options: binning 2 and binning
4, which reduce resolution by two or by four, respectively.
Row and column binning are separately selected. Image
mirroring options will work in conjunction with binning.
For column binning, either two or four columns are
combined by averaging to create the resulting column. For
row binning, the binning result value depends on the
difference in pixel values: for pixel signal differences of less
than 200 LSBs, the result is the average of the pixel values.
For pixel differences of greater than 200 LSBs, the result is
the value of the darker pixel value.
Binning operation increases SNR but decreases
resolution. Enabling row bin2 and row bin4 improves frame
Row Binning
By setting bit 0 or 1 of R0x0D or R0x0E, only half or
one-fourth of the row set is read out, as shown in Figure 30.
The number of rows read out is half or one-fourth of the
value set in R0x03. The row binning result depends on the
difference in pixel values: for pixel signal differences less
than 200 LSB’s, the result is the average of the pixel values.
For pixel differences of 200 LSB’s or more, the result is
the value of the darker pixel value.
Column Binning
For column binning, either two or four columns are
combined by averaging to create the result. In setting bit 2
or 3 of R0x0D or R0x0E, the pixel data rate is slowed down
by a factor of either two or four, respectively. This is due to
the overhead time in the digital pixel data processing chain.
As a result, the pixel clock speed is also reduced accordingly.

Consequently, the number of rows read out is half what is
set in the window height register. The row start register
determines which field gets read out; if the row start register
is even, then the even field is read out; if row start address
is odd, then the odd field is read out.
Interlaced Readout
The MT9V034 has two interlaced readout options. By
setting R0x07[2:0] = 1, all the even-numbered rows are read
out first, followed by a number of programmable field
blanking rows (set by R0xBF[7:0]), then the odd-numbered
rows, and finally the vertical blanking rows. By setting
R0x07[2:0] = 2 only one field row is read out.

When interlaced mode is enabled, the total number of

data. Irrespective of the mode (stereoscopy/stand-alone),
LV and FV are always embedded in the pixel data.
In stereoscopic mode, the two sensors run in lock-step,
implying all state machines are in the same state at any given
time. This is ensured by the sensor-pair getting their sys-clks
and sys-resets in the same instance. Configuration writes
through the two-wire serial interface are done in such a way
that both sensors can get their configuration updates at once.
The inter-sensor serial link is designed in such a way that
once the slave PLL locks and the data-dly, shft-clk-dly and
stream-latency-sel are configured, the master sensor streams
valid stereo content irrespective of any variation voltage
and/or temperature as long as it is within specification. The
configuration values of data-dly, shft-clk-dly and
stream-latency-sel are either predetermined from the
board-layout or can be empirically determined by reading
back the stereo-error flag. This flag is asserted when the two
sensor streams are not in sync when merged. The combo_reg
is used for out-of-sync diagnosis.
The LVDS interface allows for the streaming of sensor
data serially to a standard off-the-shelf deserializer up to
eight meters away from the sensor. The pixels (and controls)
are packeted-12-bit packets for stand-alone mode and 18-bit
packets for stereoscopy mode. All serial signalling (CLK
and data) is LVDS. The LVDS serial output could either be
data from a single sensor (stand-alone) or stream-merged
data from two sensors (self and its stereoscopic slave pair).
The appendices describe in detail the topologies for both
stand-alone and stereoscopic modes.
There are two standard deserializers that can be used. One
for a stand-alone sensor stream and the other from a
stereoscopic stream. The deserializer attached to a
stand-alone sensor is able to reproduce the standard parallel
output (8-bit pixel data, LV, FV, and PIXCLK). The
deserializer attached to a stereoscopic sensor is able to
reproduce 8-bit pixel data from each sensor (with embedded
LV and FV) and pixel-clk. An additional (simple) piece of
logic is required to extract LV and FV from the 8-bit pixel

LVDS Enable and Disable
When LVDS mode is enabled along with column binning
(bin 2 or bin 4, R0x0D[3:2], the packet size remains the same
but the serial pixel data stream repeats itself depending on
whether 2X or 4X binning is set:
• For bin 2, LVDS outputs double the expected data
(post-binning pixel 0,0 is output twice in sequence,
followed by pixel 0,1 twice, …).
• For bin 4, LVDS outputs 4 times the expected data
(pixel 0,0 is output 4 times in sequence followed by
pixel 0,1 times 4, …).
The Table 13 and Table 14 further explain the state of the
LVDS output pins depending on LVDS control settings.
When the LVDS block is not used, it may be left powered
down to reduce power consumption.

The receiving hardware will need to undersample the
output stream, getting data either every 2 clocks (bin 2) or
every 4 (bin 4) clocks.
If the sensor provides a pixel whose value is 0,1, 2, or 3
(that is, the same as a reserved word) then the outgoing serial
pixel value is switched to 4.

All values referred to VIHmin = 0.9 VDD and VILmax = 0.1VDD levels. Sensor EXCLK = 27 MHz.
A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for the SDATA signal to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCLK.
The maximum tHD;DAT has only to be met if the device does not stretch the LOW period (tLOW) of the SCLK signal.
A Fast-mode I2C-bus device can be used in a Standard-mode I2C-bus system, but the requirement tSU;DAT 250 ns must then be met. This
will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCLK signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period
of the SCLK signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDATA line tr max + tSU;DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard-mode
I2C-bus specification) before the SCLK line is released.

1. All output signals are defined during initial power-up with RESET_BAR held LOW without SYSCLK being active. To properly
reset the rest of the sensor, during initial power-up, assert RESET_BAR (set to LOW state) for at least 750 ns after all power
supplies have stabilized and SYSCLK is active (being clocked). Driving RESET_BAR to LOW state does not put the part in
a low power state.
2. Before using two-wire serial interface, wait for 10 SYSCLK rising edges after RESET_BAR is de-asserted.
3. Once the sensor detects that STANDBY has been asserted, it completes the current frame readout before entering standby
mode. The user must supply enough SYSCLKs to allow a complete frame readout. See Table 4, “Frame Time,” for more
information.
4. In standby, all video data and synchronization output signals are driven to a low state.
5. In standby, the two-wire serial interface is not active.
