MT9J003: 1/2.3-Inch 10 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor
General Description
General Description
The MT9J003 digital image sensor features ON Semiconductor’s breakthrough low-noise
CMOS imaging technology that achieves near-CCD image quality (based on signal-tonoise ratio and low-light sensitivity) while maintaining the inherent size, cost, and integration advantages of CMOS.
When operated in its default 4:3 still-mode, the sensor generates a full resolution image
at 15 frames per second (fps) using the HiSPi serial interface. An on-chip analog-todigital converter (ADC) generates a 12-bit value for each pixel.
Functional Overview
The MT9J003 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) to generate all internal
clocks from a single master input clock running between 6 and 48 MHz. The maximum
output pixel rate is 80 Mp/s, corresponding to a pixel clock rate of 80 MHz. A block
diagram of the sensor is shown in Figure 1.

Interface
The core of the sensor is a 10Mp active-pixel 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 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 pixel array contains optically active and light-shielded (“dark”) pixels. The dark
pixels are used to provide data for on-chip offset-correction algorithms (“black level”
control).
The sensor contains a set of control and status registers that can be used to control many
aspects of the sensor behavior including the frame size, exposure, and gain setting.
These registers can be accessed through a two-wire serial interface.

MT9J003: 1/2.3-Inch 10 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor
Functional Overview
The output from the sensor is a Bayer pattern; alternate rows are a sequence of either
green and red pixels or blue and green pixels. The offset and gain stages of the analog
signal chain provide per-color control of the pixel data.
The control registers, timing and control, and digital processing functions shown in
Figure 1 on page 6 are partitioned into three logical parts:
• A sensor core that provides array control and data path corrections. The output of the
sensor core is a 12-bit parallel pixel data stream qualified by an output data clock
(PIXCLK), together with LINE_VALID (LV) and FRAME_VALID (FV) signals or a 4-lane
serial high-speed pixel interface (HiSPi).
• A digital shading correction block to compensate for color/brightness shading introduced by the lens or chief ray angle (CRA) curve mismatch.
• Additional functionality is provided. This includes a horizontal and vertical image
scaler, a limiter, a data compressor, an output FIFO, and a serializer.
The output FIFO is present to prevent data bursts by keeping the data rate continuous.
Programmable slew rates are also available to reduce the effect of electromagnetic interference from the output interface.
A flash output signal is provided to allow an external xenon or LED light source to
synchronize with the sensor exposure time. Additional I/O signals support the provision
of an external mechanical shutter.
Pixel Array
The sensor core uses a Bayer color pattern, as shown in Figure 2. The even-numbered
rows contain green and red pixels; odd-numbered rows contain blue and green pixels.
Even-numbered columns contain green and blue pixels; odd-numbered columns
contain red and green pixels.

Operating Modes
Operating Modes
By default, the MT9J003 powers up with the serial pixel data interface enabled. The
sensor can operate in serial HiSPi or parallel mode.
For low-noise operation, the MT9J003 requires separate power supplies for analog and
digital power. Incoming digital and analog ground conductors should be placed in such
a way that coupling between the two are minimized. Both power supply rails should also
be routed in such a way that noise coupling between the two supplies and ground is
minimized.

Serial Pixel Data Interface
The MT9J003 supports RAW8, RAW10, and RAW12 image data formats over a serial interface. The sensor supports a 1 and 2-lane MIPI as well as the HiSPi interface. These interfaces are not described in the data sheet.
High Speed Serial Pixel Interface
The High Speed Serial Pixel (HiSPi) interface uses four data and one clock low voltage
differential signaling (LVDS) outputs.
• SLVS_CP, SLVS_CN
• SLVS_[0:3]P, SLVS_[0:3]N
The HiSPi interface supports two protocols, streaming and packetized. The streaming
protocol conforms to a standard video application where each line of active or
intra-frame blanking provided by the sensor is transmitted at the same length. The packetized protocol will transmit only the active data ignoring line-to-line and
frame-to-frame blanking data.
The HiSPi interface building block is a unidirectional differential serial interface with
four data and one double data rate (DDR) clock lanes. One clock for every four serial
data lanes is provided for phase alignment across multiple lanes. Figure 7 shows the
configuration between the HiSPi transmitter and the receiver.

HiSPi Physical Layer
The HiSPi physical layer is partitioned into blocks of four data lanes and an associated
clock lane. Any reference to the PHY in the remainder of this document is referring to
this minimum building block.
The PHY will serialize a 10-, 12-, 14- or 16-bit data word and transmit each bit of data
centered on a rising edge of the clock, the second on the following edge of clock. Figure 8
shows bit transmission. In this example, the word is transmitted in order of MSB to LSB.
The receiver latches data at the rising and falling edge of the clock.

DLL Timing Adjustment
The specification includes a DLL to compensate for differences in group delay for each
data lane. The DLL is connected to the clock lane and each data lane, which acts as a
control master for the output delay buffers. Once the DLL has gained phase lock, each
lane can be delayed in 1/8 unit interval (UI) steps. This additional delay allows the user
to increase the setup or hold time at the receiver circuits and can be used to compensate
for skew introduced in PCB design.
If the DLL timing adjustment is not required, the data and clock lane delay settings
should be set to a default code of 0x000 to reduce jitter, skew, and power dissipation.

HiSPi Streaming Mode Protocol Layer
The protocol layer is positioned between the output data path of the sensor and the
physical layer. The main functions of the protocol layer are generating sync codes,
formatting pixel data, inserting horizontal/vertical blanking codes, and distributing
pixel data over defined data lanes.
The HiSPi interface can only be configured when the sensor is in standby. This includes
configuring the interface to transmit across 1, 2, or all 4 data lanes.

Protocol Fundamentals
Referring to Figure 12, it can be seen that a SYNC code is inserted in the serial data
stream prior to each line of image data. The streaming protocol will insert a SYNC code
to transmit each active data line and vertical blanking lines.
The packetized protocol will transmit a SYNC code to note the start and end of each row.
The packetized protocol uses sync a “Start of Frame” (SOF) sync code at the start of a
frame and a “Start of Line” (SOL) sync code at the start of a line within the frame. The
protocol will also transmit an “End of Frame” (EOF) at the end of a frame and an “End of
Line” (EOL) sync code at the end of a row within the frame

MT9J003 image data is read out in a progressive scan. Valid image data is surrounded by
horizontal blanking and vertical blanking, as shown in Figure 13. The amount of horizontal blanking and vertical blanking is programmable; LV is HIGH during the shaded

Output Data Timing (Parallel Pixel Data Interface)
MT9J003 output data is synchronized with the PIXCLK output. When LV is HIGH, one
pixel value is output on the 12-bit DOUT output every PIXCLK period. The pixel clock
frequency can be determined based on the sensor's master input clock and internal PLL
configuration. The rising edges on the PIXCLK signal occurs one-half of a pixel clock
period after transitions on LV, FV, and DOUT (see Figure 14). This allows PIXCLK to be
used as a clock to sample the data. PIXCLK is continuously enabled, even during the
blanking period. The MT9J003 can be programmed to delay the PIXCLK edge relative to
the DOUT transitions. This can be achieved by programming the corresponding bits in
the row_speed register. The parameters P, A, and Q in Figure 15 are defined in Table 2 on
page 19.

The sensor timing (shown in Table 2 on page 19) is shown in terms of pixel clock and
master clock cycles (see Figure 14 on page 19). The default settings for the on-chip PLL
generate
a pixel array clock (vt_pix_clk) of 160 MHz and an output clock (op_pix_clk) of 40 MHz
given a 20 MHz input clock to the MT9J003. Equations for calculating the frame rate are
given in “Frame Rate Control” on page 47.

MT9J003: 1/2.3-Inch 10 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor
Two-Wire Serial Register Interface
Two-Wire Serial Register Interface
The two-wire serial interface bus enables read/write access to control and status registers within the MT9J003. The interface protocol uses a master/slave model in which a
master controls one or more slave devices. The sensor acts as a slave device. The master
generates a clock (SCLK) that is an input to the sensor and is used to synchronize transfers. Data is transferred between the master and the slave on a bidirectional signal
(SDATA). SDATA is pulled up to VDD off-chip by a 1.5k resistor. Either the slave or master
device can drive SDATA LOW—the interface protocol determines which device is allowed
to drive SDATA at any given time.
The protocols described in the two-wire serial interface specification allow the slave
device to drive SCLKLOW; the MT9J003 uses SCLK as an input only and therefore never
drives it LOW.
Protocol
Data transfers on the two-wire serial interface bus are performed by a sequence of lowlevel protocol elements:
1. a (repeated) start condition
2. a slave address/data direction byte
3. an (a no-) acknowledge bit
4. a message byte
5. a stop condition
The bus is idle when both SCLK and SDATA are HIGH. Control of the bus is initiated with
a start condition, and the bus is released with a stop condition. Only the master can
generate the start and stop conditions.
Start Condition
A start condition is defined as a HIGH-to-LOW transition on SDATA while SCLK is HIGH.
At the end of a transfer, the master can generate a start condition without previously
generating a stop condition; this is known as a “repeated start” or “restart” condition.
Stop Condition
A stop condition is defined as a LOW-to-HIGH transition on SDATA while SCLK is HIGH.
Data Transfer
Data is transferred serially, 8 bits at a time, with the MSB transmitted first. Each byte of
data is followed by an acknowledge bit or a no-acknowledge bit. This data transfer
mechanism is used for the slave address/data direction byte and for message bytes.
One data bit is transferred during each SCLK clock period. SDATA can change when SCLK
is LOW and must be stable while SCLK is HIGH.
Slave Address/Data Direction Byte
Bits [7:1] of this byte represent the device slave address and bit [0] indicates the data
transfer direction. A “0” in bit [0] indicates a WRITE, and a “1” indicates a READ. The
default slave addresses used by the MT9J003 for the MIPI configured sensor are 0x6C
(write address) and 0x6D (read address) in accordance with the MIPI specification. Alternate slave addresses of 0x6E(write address) and 0x6F(read address) can be selected by
enabling and asserting the SADDR signal through the GPI pad. But for the CCP2 configured sensor, the default slave addresses used are 0x20 (write address) and 0x21 (read

Two-Wire Serial Register Interface
address) in accordance with the SMIA specification. Also, alternate slave addresses of
0x30 (write address) and 0x31 (read address) can be selected by enabling and asserting
the SADDR signal through the GPI pad.
An alternate slave address can also be programmed through R0x31FC.
Message Byte
Message bytes are used for sending register addresses and register write data to the slave
device and for retrieving register read data.
Acknowledge Bit
Each 8-bit data transfer is followed by an acknowledge bit or a no-acknowledge bit in the
SCLK clock period following the data transfer. The transmitter (which is the master when
writing, or the slave when reading) releases SDATA. The receiver indicates an acknowledge bit by driving SDATA LOW. As for data transfers, SDATA can change when SCLK is
LOW and must be stable while SCLK is HIGH.
No-Acknowledge Bit
The no-acknowledge bit is generated when the receiver does not drive SDATA LOW
during the SCLK clock period following a data transfer. A no-acknowledge bit is used to
terminate a read sequence.
Typical Sequence
A typical READ or WRITE sequence begins by the master generating a start condition on
the bus. After the start condition, the master sends the 8-bit slave address/data direction
byte. The last bit indicates whether the request is for a read or a write, where a “0” indicates a write and a “1” indicates a read. If the address matches the address of the slave
device, the slave device acknowledges receipt of the address by generating an acknowledge bit on the bus.
If the request was a WRITE, the master then transfers the 16-bit register address to which
the WRITE should take place. This transfer takes place as two 8-bit sequences and the
slave sends an acknowledge bit after each sequence to indicate that the byte has been
received. The master then transfers the data as an 8-bit sequence; the slave sends an
acknowledge bit at the end of the sequence. The master stops writing by generating a
(re)start or stop condition.
If the request was a READ, the master sends the 8-bit write slave address/data direction
byte and 16-bit register address, the same way as with a WRITE request. The master then
generates a (re)start condition and the 8-bit read slave address/data direction byte, and
clocks out the register data, eight bits at a time. The master generates an acknowledge
bit after each 8-bit transfer. The slave’s internal register address is automatically incremented after every 8 bits are transferred. The data transfer is stopped when the master
sends a no-acknowledge bit.

Single READ From Random Location
This sequence (Figure 16) starts with a dummy WRITE to the 16-bit address that is to be
used for the READ. The master terminates the WRITE by generating a restart condition.
The master then sends the 8-bit read slave address/data direction byte and clocks out
one byte of register data. The master terminates the READ by generating a no-acknowledge bit followed by a stop condition. Figure 16 shows how the internal register address
maintained by the MT9J003 is loaded and incremented as the sequence proceeds.

X Address Restrictions
The minimum column address available for the sensor is 24. The maximum value is
3879.
Effect of Scaler on Legal Range of Output Sizes
When the scaler is enabled, it is necessary to adjust the values of x_output_size and
y_output_size to match the image size generated by the scaler. The MT9J003 will operate
incorrectly if the x_output_size and y_output_size are significantly larger than the
output image. To understand the reason for this, consider the situation where the sensor
is operating at full resolution and the scaler is enabled with a scaling factor of 32 (half the
number of pixels in each direction). This situation is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1:

In Figure 1, three different stages in the data path (see “Timing Specifications” on
page 61) are shown. The first stage is the output of the sensor core. The core is running at
full resolution and x_output_size is set to match the active array size. The LV signal is
asserted once per row and remains asserted for N pixel times. The PIXEL_VALID signal
toggles with the same timing as LV, indicating that all pixels in the row are valid.
The second stage is the output of the scaler, when the scaler is set to reduce the image
size by one-half in each dimension. The effect of the scaler is to combine groups of
pixels. Therefore, the row time remains the same, but only half the pixels out of the
scaler are valid. This is signaled by transitions in PIXEL_VALID. Overall, PIXEL_VALID is
asserted for (N/2) pixel times per row.

MT9J003: 1/2.3-Inch 10 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor
Programming Restrictions
The third stage is the output of the limiter when the x_output_size is still set to match the
active array size. Because the scaler has reduced the amount of valid pixel data without
reducing the row time, the limiter attempts to pad the row with (N/2) additional pixels. If
this has the effect of extending LV across the whole of the horizontal blanking time, the
MT9J003 will cease to generate output frames.
A correct configuration is shown in Figure 2, in addition to showing the x_output_size
reduced to match the output size of the scaler. In this configuration, the output of the
limiter does not extend LV.
Figure 2 also shows the effect of the output FIFO, which forms the final stage in the data
path. The output FIFO merges the intermittent pixel data back into a contiguous stream.
Although not shown in this example, the output FIFO is also capable of operating with
an output clock that is at a different frequency from its input clock.

Output Data Timing
The output FIFO acts as a boundary between two clock domains. Data is written to the
FIFO in the VT (video timing) clock domain. Data is read out of the FIFO in the OP
(output) clock domain.
When the scaler is disabled, the data rate in the VT clock domain is constant and
uniform during the active period of each pixel array row readout. When the scaler is
enabled, the data rate in the VT clock domain becomes intermittent, corresponding to
the data reduction performed by the scaler.
A key constraint when configuring the clock for the output FIFO is that the frame rate
out of the FIFO must exactly match the frame rate into the FIFO. When the scaler is
disabled, this constraint can be met by imposing the rule that the row time on the serial
data stream must be greater than or equal to the row time at the pixel array. The row time
on the serial data stream is calculated from the x_output_size and the data_format (8, 10,
or 12 bits per pixel), and must include the time taken in the serial data stream for start of
frame/row, end of row/frame and checksum symbols.
Caution
If this constraint is not met, the FIFO will either underrun or overrun. FIFO underrun or overrun is a fatal error condition that is signalled through the data path_status register
(R0x306A).
Changing Registers While Streaming
The following registers should only be reprogrammed while the sensor is in software
standby:
• vt_pix_clk_div
• vt_sys_clk_div
• pre_pll_clk_div
• pll_multiplier
• op_pix_clk_div
• op_sys_clk_div
Programming Restrictions When Using Global Reset
Interactions between the registers that control the global reset imposes some programming restrictions on the way in which they are used; these are discussed in "Global
Reset" on page 52.

Control of the Signal Interface
Control of the Signal Interface
This section describes the operation of the signal interface in all functional modes.
Serial Register Interface
The serial register interface uses these signals:
• SCLK
• SDATA
• SADDR (through the GPI pad)
SCLK is an input-only signal and must always be driven to a valid logic level for correct
operation; if the driving device can place this signal in High-Z, an external pull-up
resistor should be connected on this signal.
SDATA is a bidirectional signal. An external pull-up resistor should be connected on this
signal.
SADDR is a signal, which can be optionally enabled and controlled by a GPI pad, to select
an alternate slave address. These slave addresses can also be programmed through
R0x31FC.
This interface is described in detail in "Two-Wire Serial Register Interface" on page 23.
Parallel Pixel Data Interface
The parallel pixel data interface uses these output-only signals:
• FV
• LV
• PIXCLK
• DOUT[11:0]
The parallel pixel data interface is disabled by default at power up and after reset. It can
be enabled by programming R0x301A. Table 3 on page 32 shows the recommended
settings.
When the parallel pixel data interface is in use, the serial data output signals can be left
unconnected. Set reset_register[12] to disable the serializer while in parallel output
mode.
Output Enable Control
When the parallel pixel data interface is enabled, its signals can be switched asynchronously between the driven and High-Z under pin or register control, as shown in Table 2.
Selection of a pin to use for the OE_N function is described in "General Purpose Inputs"
on page 35.

System States
The system states of the MT9J003 are represented as a state diagram in Figure 3 and
described in subsequent sections. The effect of RESET_BAR on the system state and the
configuration of the PLL in the different states are shown in Table 4 on page 34.
The sensor’s operation is broken down into three separate states: hardware standby,
software standby, and streaming. The transition between these states might take a
certain amount of clock cycles as outlined in Table 4.

Power-On Reset Sequence
When power is applied to the MT9J003, it enters a low-power hardware standby state.
Exit from this state is controlled by the later of two events:
1. The negation of the RESET_BAR input.
2. A timeout of the internal power-on reset circuit.
It is possible to hold RESET_BAR permanently de-asserted and rely upon the internal
power-on reset circuit.
When RESET_BAR is asserted it asynchronously resets the sensor, truncating any frame
that is in progress.
When the sensor leaves the hardware standby state it performs an internal initialization
sequence that takes 2400 EXTCLK cycles. After this, it enters a low-power software
standby state. While the initialization sequence is in progress, the MT9J003 will not
respond to READ transactions on its two-wire serial interface. Therefore, a method to
determine when the initialization sequence has completed is to poll a sensor register; for
example, R0x0000. While the initialization sequence is in progress, the sensor will not
respond to its device address and READs from the sensor will result in a NACK on the
two-wire serial interface bus. When the sequence has completed, READs will return the
operational value for the register (0x2800 if R0x0000 is read).
When the sensor leaves software standby mode and enables the VCO, an internal delay
will keep the PLL disconnected for up to 1ms so that the PLL can lock. The VCO lock time
is 200µs(typical), 1ms (maximum).
Soft Reset Sequence
The MT9J003 can be reset under software control by writing “1” to software_reset
(R0x0103). A software reset asynchronously resets the sensor, truncating any frame that
is in progress. The sensor starts the internal initialization sequence, while the PLL and
analog blocks are turned off. At this point, the behavior is exactly the same as for the
power-on reset sequence.
Signal State During Reset
Table 5 on page 35 shows the state of the signal interface during hardware standby
(RESET_BAR asserted) and the default state during software standby. After exit from
hardware standby and before any registers within the sensor have been changed from
their default power-up values.

General Purpose Inputs
The MT9J003 provides four general purpose inputs. After reset, the input pads associated with these signals are powered down by default, allowing the pads to be left disconnected/floating.
The general purpose inputs are enabled by setting reset_register[8] (R0x301A). Once
enabled, all four inputs must be driven to valid logic levels by external signals. The state
of the general purpose inputs can be read through gpi_status[3:0] (R0x3026).
In addition, each of the following functions can be associated with none, one, or more of
the general purpose inputs so that the function can be directly controlled by a hardware
input:
• Output enable (see “Output Enable Control” on page 31)
• Trigger (see the sections below)
• Standby functions
• SADDR selection (see “Serial Register Interface” on page 31)
The gpi_status register is used to associate a function with a general purpose input.

The sensor contains a PLL for timing generation and control. The PLL contains a prescaler to divide the input clock applied on EXTCLK, a VCO to multiply the prescaler
output, and a set of dividers to generate the output clocks. The clocking structure is
shown in Figure 4.

Figure 4 shows the different clocks and the register names. It also shows the default
setting for each divider/multiplier control register, and the range of legal values for each
divider/multiplier control register. The vt and op sys clk Divider is hardwired in the
design. The PLL default settings support the HiSPi interface.
From the diagram, the clock frequencies can be calculated for the HiSPi interface using a
15 MHz input clock as follows:

MT9J003: 1/2.3-Inch 10 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor
Control of the Signal Interface
The following factors determine what are valid values, or combinations of valid values,
for the divider/multiplier control registers:
• The minimum/maximum frequency limits for the associated clock must be met.
– pll_ip_clk_freq must be in the range 6–48 MHz. Higher frequencies are preferred.
• PLL internal VCO frequency must be in the range 384–768 MHz.
The minimum/maximum value for the divider/multiplier must be met.
– Range for m: 32–128.
– Range for (n): 1–64.
• The op_pix_clk must never run faster than the vt_pix_clk to ensure that the output
data stream is contiguous.
When using the HiSPi serial interface, the op_pix_clk must be 1/4 of the vt_pix_clk.
• The op_pix_clk_div divider must match the bit-depth of the image when using HiSPi.
For example, op_pix_clk_div must be set to 12 for a 12-bit HiSPi output. The is not
required when using the parallel interface.
• When using the parallel interface, the op_pix_clk must be half of the vt_pix_clk.
• The output line time (including the necessary blanking) must be output in a time
equal to or less than the time defined by line_length_pck.
Although the PLL VCO input frequency range is advertised as 6–48 MHz, superior
performance is obtained by keeping the VCO input frequency as high as possible.
The usage of the output clocks is shown below:
• clk_pixel is used by the sensor core to control the timing of the pixel array. The sensor
core produces one 12-bit pixel each vt_pix_clk period. The line length
(line_length_pck) and fine integration time (fine_integration_time) are controlled in
increments of the clk_pixel period.
• clk_op is used to load parallel pixel data from the output FIFO. The output FIFO
generates one pixel each op_pix_clk period.
An example of the parallel configuration for the PLL will uses an input clock of 10 MHz,
an internal pixel clock of 160 MHz, and an output clock of 80 MHz. In this configuration:
n=1
m = 64
vt_sys_clk_div = 2
op_sys_clk_div = 1
vt_pix_clk_div = 2
op_pix_clk_div = 8

Programming the PLL Divisors
The PLL divisors must be programmed while the MT9J003 is in the software standby
state. After programming the divisors, wait for the VCO lock time before enabling the
PLL. The PLL is enabled by entering the streaming state.

MT9J003: 1/2.3-Inch 10 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor
Features
An external timer will need to delay the entrance of the streaming mode by 1 millisecond
so that the PLL can lock.
The effect of programming the PLL divisors while the MT9J003 is in the streaming state
is undefined.
Clock Control
The MT9J003 uses an aggressive clock-gating methodology to reduce power consumption. The clocked logic is divided into a number of separate domains, each of which is
only clocked when required.
When the MT9J003 enters a low-power state, almost all of the internal clocks are
stopped. The only exception is that a small amount of logic is clocked so that the
two-wire serial interface continues to respond to READ and WRITE requests.
Features
Scaler
The MT9J003 sensor includes scaling capabilities. This allows the user to generate full
field-of-view, low resolution images. Scaling is advantageous because it uses all pixel
values to calculate the output image which helps to avoid aliasing. It is also more convenient than binning because the scale factor varies smoothly and the user is not limited to
certain ratios of size resolution.
The scaling factor is programmable in 1/16 steps.

ScaleFactor = --------------------- = --------------------scale_m

(EQ 5)
scale_n is fixed at 16.
scale_m is adjustable with R0x0404
Legal values for m are 16 through 128. The user has the ability to scale from
1:1 (m = 16) to 1:8 (m = 128).
Shading Correction
Lenses tend to produce images whose brightness is significantly attenuated near the
edges. There are also other factors causing color plane nonuniformity in images
captured by image sensors. The cumulative result of all these factors is known as image
shading. The MT9J003 has an embedded shading correction module that can be
programmed to counter the shading effects on each individual Red, GreenB, GreenR,
and Blue color signal.
The Correction Function
Color-dependent solutions are calibrated using the sensor, lens system and an image of
an evenly illuminated, featureless gray calibration field. From the resulting image,
register values for the color correction function (coefficients) can be derived.
The correction functions can then be applied to each pixel value to equalize the
response across the image as follows:
Pcorrected  row, col = Psensor(row,col) * f(row,col)

MT9J003: 1/2.3-Inch 10 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor
Features
where P are the pixel values and f is the color dependent correction functions for each
color channel.
Each function includes a set of color-dependent coefficients defined by registers
R0x3600–3726. The function's origin is the center point of the function used in the calculation of the coefficients. Using an origin near the central point of symmetry of the
sensor response provides the best results. The center point of the function is determined
by ORIGIN_C (R0x3782) and ORIGIN_R (R0x3784) and can be used to counter an offset
in the system lens from the center of the sensor array.
One-Time Programmable Memory
The MT9J003 has a two-byte OTP memory that can be utilized during module manufacturing to store specific information about the module. This feature provides system integrators and module manufacturers the ability to label and distinguish various module
types based on lens, IR-cut filter, or other properties.
During the programming process, a dedicated pin for high voltage needs to be provided
to perform the anti-fusing operation. This voltage (VPP) would need to be 8.5V +3%.
Instantaneous VPP cannot exceed 9V at any time. The completion of the programming
process will be communicated by a register through the two-wire serial interface.
Because this programming pin needs to sustain a higher voltage than other input/
output pins, having a dedicated high voltage pin (VPP) minimizes the design risk. If the
module manufacturing process can probe the sensor at the die or PCB level (that is,
supply all the power rails, clocks, two-wire serial interface signals), then this dedicated
high voltage pin does not need to be assigned to the module connector pinout. However,
if the VPP pin needs to be bonded out as a pin on the module, the trace for VPP needs to
carry a maximum of 1mA is needed for programming only. This pin should be left
floating once the module is integrated to a design. If the VPP pin does not need to be
bonded-out as a pin on the module, it should be left floating inside the module.
The programming of the OTP memory requires the sensor to be fully powered and
remain in software standby with its clock input applied. The information will be
programmed through the use of the two-wire serial interface, and once the data is
written to an internal register, the programming host machine will apply a high voltage
to the programming pin, and send a program command to initiate the anti-fusing
process. After the sensor has finished programming the OTP memory, a status bit will be
set to indicate the end of the programming cycle, and the host machine can poll the
setting of the status bit through the two-wire serial interface. Only one programming
cycle for the 16-bit word can be performed.
Reading the OTP memory data requires the sensor to be fully powered and operational
with its clock input applied. The data can be read through a register from the two-wire
serial interface.
The steps below describe the process to program and verify the programmed data in the
OTP memory:
1. Apply power to all the power rails of the sensor (VDD, VDD_IO, VAA, VAA_PIX, VDD_PLL,
and VDD_TX0).
1a. Set VAA to 3.1V during OTP memory programming phase.
1b. VPP needs to be floated during this phase.
1c. Other supplies at nominal.
2. Provide 24 MHz EXTCLK clock input. The PLL settings are discussed at the end of the
document.

Image Acquisition Modes
The MT9J003 supports two image acquisition modes:
1. Electronic rolling shutter (ERS) mode
This is the normal mode of operation. When the MT9J003 is streaming; it generates
frames at a fixed rate, and each frame is integrated (exposed) using the ERS. When the
ERS is in use, timing and control logic within the sensor sequences through the rows
of the array, resetting and then reading each row in turn. In the time interval between
resetting a row and subsequently reading that row, the pixels in the row integrate incident light. The integration (exposure) time is controlled by varying the time between
row reset and row readout. For each row in a frame, the time between row reset and
row readout is fixed, leading to a uniform integration time across the frame. When the
integration time is changed (by using the two-wire serial interface to change register
settings), the timing and control logic controls the transition from old to new integration time in such a way that the stream of output frames from the MT9J003 switches
cleanly from the old integration time to the new while only generating frames with
uniform integration. See “Changes to Integration Time” in the MT9J003 Register Reference.
2. Global reset mode
This mode can be used to acquire a single image at the current resolution. In this
mode, the end point of the pixel integration time is controlled by an external electromechanical shutter, and the MT9J003 provides control signals to interface to that
shutter. The operation of this mode is described in detail in "Global Reset" on page 52.
The benefit of using an external electromechanical shutter is that it eliminates the visual
artifacts associated with ERS operation. Visual artifacts arise in ERS operation, particularly at low frame rates, because an ERS image effectively integrates each row of the pixel
array at a different point in time.
Window Control
The sequencing of the pixel array is controlled by the x_addr_start, y_addr_start, x_addr_end, and y_addr_end registers. For both parallel and serial interfaces, the output
image size is controlled by the x_output_size and y_output_size registers.
Pixel Border
The default settings of the sensor provide a 3840H x 2748V image. A border of up to
8 pixels (4 in binning) on each edge can be enabled by reprogramming the x_addr_start,
y_addr_start, x_addr_end, y_addr_end, x_output_size, and y_output_size registers
accordingly. This provides a total active pixel array of 3856H x 2764V including border
pixels.

Readout Modes
Horizontal Mirror
When the horizontal_mirror bit is set in the image_orientation register, the order of pixel
readout within a row is reversed, so that readout starts from x_addr_end and ends at
x_addr_start. Figure 6 shows a sequence of 6 pixels being read out with horizontal_mirror = 0 and horizontal_mirror = 1. Changing horizontal_mirror causes the Bayer
order of the output image to change; the new Bayer order is reflected in the value of the
pixel_order register.

Vertical Flip
When the vertical_flip bit is set in the image_orientation register, the order in which
pixel rows are read out is reversed, so that row readout starts from y_addr_end and ends
at y_addr_start. Figure 7 shows a sequence of 6 rows being read out with vertical_flip = 0
and vertical_flip = 1. Changing vertical_flip causes the Bayer order of the output image
to change; the new Bayer order is reflected in the value of the pixel_order register.

Sensor Readout Configuration
Subsampling
The MT9J003 supports subsampling. This feature allows the sensor to read out a sample
of pixels available on the array. The most common subsampling used is either a 2x2 or
4x4 where every 2nd or 4th pixel is read in the x and y direction.
Figure 8:
Pixel Array Readout Without Subsampling and With 2x2 Skipping
2 x 2 skipping
Full Resolution
Pixel skipping can be configured up to 4x in the x-direction and 32x in the y-direction.
Skipping pixels in the x-direction will reduce the row-time while skipping in the y-direction will reduce the number of rows readout from the sensor. Skipping in both directions
will reduce the frame-time and is a common method used to increase the sensor framerate. Skipping will introduce image artifacts from aliasing.

The subsampling feature can also bin or sum the skipped pixels. Pixel binning will
sample pixels and average the value together in the analog domain. Summing will add
the charge or voltage values of the neighboring pixels together.

The pixel summing must be done with adjacent pixels within the same color plane. The
pixel binning can be configured to combine adjacent pixels or to combine every other
pixel.
The pixel subsampling can be configured as a combination of skipping and binning or
summing. This type of subsampling is typically used to achieve the best combination of
pixel responsivity and frame rate. The summing and skipping implementation will sum
neighboring pixels on the same color plane and skip over the adjacent group of pixels.
Figure 11 on page 46 shows that neighboring pixels are summed together. In the case
that a subsampling factor of 4x or greater is used with summing, the neighboring pixels
will also be summed together.

Figure 11:
Pixel Skipping Combined with Summing or Binning
Table 8 shows the different combinations of subsampling available with the MT9J003
sensor. The sensor cannot combine pixels using two different methods in the same
direction. This means that bin-xy and sum-y are not valid combinations with the sensor.
As well, the bin-xy is limited to a skip of 4x in the vertical direction.

MT9J003: 1/2.3-Inch 10 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor
Sensor Readout Configuration
Frame Rate Control
The frame-time is calculated as the row-time multiplied by the number of rows
(frame_length_lines). The row-time is referred to in these calculations as the number of
pixel clocks read per row (line_length_pck) multiplied by the vt_pix_clk frequency.
The formulas for calculating the frame rate of the MT9J003 are shown below.
The line length is programmed in pixel clock periods through the register
line_length_pck. The minimum value can be determined as the largest value found in
Equation 7. These are the required values for either the array readout or the bandwidth
available to the parallel or serial interface.
Absolute Minimum Array Line Length Pck
minimum line_length_pck = min_line_length_pck (see Table 9, “Minimum Row Time
and Blanking Numbers,” on page 48)

Note that line_length_pck will be the maximum of the three equations. The second
equation describes the limitations from the readout of the pixel array while the third
determines the frame-rate of the output interface. The frame-rate using HiSPi will
always be higher than using the parallel interface. Values for min_line_blanking_pck are
provided in “Minimum Row Time” on page 48.
The frame length is programmed directly in number of lines in the register
frame_line_length. For a specific window size, the minimum frame length is shown in
Equation 10:

In addition, enough time must be given to the output FIFO so it can output all data at the
set frequency within one row time.
There are therefore three checks that must all be met when programming
line_length_pck:
1. line_length_pck> min_line_length_pck in Table 9.
2. line_length_pck > 0.5*(x_addr_end - x_addr_start + x_odd_inc)/((1+x_odd_inc)/2) +
min_line_blanking_pck in Table 9.
3. The row time must allow the FIFO to output all data during each row.
Parallel - line_length_pck > (x_output_size) * “vt_pix_clk period” / “op_pix_clk
period” + 0x005E.
HiSPi (4-lane) - line_length_pck > (1/4)*(x_output_size) * “vt_pix_clk period” /
“op_pix_clk period” + 0x005E.
Minimum Frame Time
The minimum number of rows in the image is 2, so min_frame_length_lines will always
equal (min_frame_blanking_lines + 2).

Low Power Mode
The MT9J003 sensor supports a low power mode, which can be entered by programming
register bit read_mode[9]. Setting this bit will do the following:
• Double the value of pc_speed[2:0] internally. This means halving the internal pixel
clock frequency.
• Lower currents in the analog domain. This can be done by setting a low power bit in
the static control register. The current will be halved where appropriate in the analog
domain.
Note that enabling the low power mode will not put the sensor in subsampling mode.
This will have to be programmed separately as described earlier in this document. Low
power is independent of the readout mode and can also be enabled in full resolution
mode. Because the pixel clock speed is halved, the frame rates that can be achieved with
low power mode are lower than in full power mode.
Because only internal pixel clock speeds of 1, 2, and 4 are supported, low power mode
combined with pc_speed[2:0] = 4 is an illegal combination.
Any limitations related to changing the internal pixel clock speed will also apply to low
power mode, because it automatically changes the pixel clock speed. Therefore, the
limiter registers need to be reprogrammed to match the new internal pixel clock
frequency.
Integration Time
The integration (exposure) time of the MT9J003 is controlled by the fine_integration_time and coarse_integration_time registers.
The limits for the fine integration time are defined by:
fine_integration_time_min < fine_integration_time < (line_length_pck –
(EQ 12)
fine_integration_time_max_margin
The limits for the coarse integration time are defined by:
coarse_integration_time_min < coarse_integration_time
(EQ 13)
The actual integration time is given by:
  coarse_integration_time * line_length_pck  + fine_integration_time 
integration_time = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- vt_pix_clk_freq_mhz*10 6 
(EQ 14)
It is required that:
coarse_integration_time < = (frame_length_lines - coarse_integration_time_max_margin)
(EQ 15)
If this limit is exceeded, the frame time will automatically be extended to (coarse_integration_time + coarse_integartion_time_max_margin) to accommodate the larger integration time.

ON Semiconductor Gain Model
The ON Semiconductor gain model uses color-specific registers to control both analog
and digital gain to the sensor. These registers are:
• global_gain
• greenR_gain
• red_gain
• blue_gain
• greenB_gain
The registers provide three 2x and one 4x analog gain stages. The first analog gain stage
has a granularity of 64 steps over 2x gain. A digital gain from 1-7x can also be applied.
analog gain = (8/(8-g(colamp)<11:9>) x (1 + color_gain[8])(1 + color_gain[7])(color_gain[6:0]/64)
(EQ 16)
Bits 11 to 9 are also restricted to 0, 4, and 6. This limits the particular gain stage to 4x.
As a result of the different gain stages, analog gain levels can be achieved in different
ways. The recommended gain sequence is shown below in Table 13.

Flash Control
The MT9J003 supports both xenon and LED flash through the FLASH output signal. The
timing of the FLASH signal with the default settings is shown in Figure 12, and in
Figure 13 and Figure 14 on page 51. The flash and flash_count registers allow the timing
of the flash to be changed. The flash can be programmed to fire only once, delayed by a
few frames when asserted, and (for xenon flash) the flash duration can be programmed.
Enabling the LED flash will cause one bad frame, where several of the rows only have the
flash on for part of their integration time. This can be avoided either by first enabling
mask bad frames (write reset_register[9] = 1) before the enabling the flash or by forcing a
restart (write reset_register[1] = 1) immediately after enabling the flash; the first bad
frame will then be masked out, as shown in Figure 14 on page 51. Read-only bit flash[14]
is set during frames that are correctly integrated; the state of this bit is shown in
Figures 12, 13, and 14.

Global Reset
Global reset mode allows the integration time of the MT9J003 to be controlled by an
external electromechanical shutter. Global reset mode is generally used in conjunction
with ERS mode. The ERS mode is used to provide viewfinder information, the sensor is
switched into global reset mode to capture a single frame, and the sensor is then
returned to ERS mode to restore viewfinder operation.
Overview of Global Reset Sequence
The basic elements of the global reset sequence are:
1. By default, the sensor operates in ERS mode and the SHUTTER output signal is LOW.
The electromechanical shutter must be open to allow light to fall on the pixel array.
Integration time is controlled by the coarse_integration_time and fine_integration_time registers.
2. A global reset sequence is triggered.
3. All of the rows of the pixel array are placed in reset.
4. All of the rows of the pixel array are taken out of reset simultaneously. All rows start to
integrate incident light. The electromechanical shutter may be open or closed at this
time.
5. If the electromechanical shutter has been closed, it is opened.
6. After the desired integration time (controlled internally or externally to the MT9J003),
the electromechanical shutter is closed.
7. A single output frame is generated by the sensor with the usual LV, FV, PIXCLK, and
DOUT timing. As soon as the output frame has completed (FV de-asserts), the electromechanical shutter may be opened again.
8. The sensor automatically resumes operation in ERS mode.
This sequence is shown in Figure 15. The following sections expand to show how the
timing of this sequence is controlled.
Figure 15:

Entering and Leaving the Global Reset Sequence
A global reset sequence can be triggered by a register write to global_seq_trigger[0]
(global trigger, to transition this bit from a 0 to a 1) or by a rising edge on a suitably-configured GPI input (see “Trigger Control” on page 36).
When a global reset sequence is triggered, the sensor waits for the end of the current row.
When LV de-asserts for that row, FV is de-asserted 6 PIXCLK periods later, potentially
truncating the frame that was in progress.
The global reset sequence completes with a frame readout. At the end of this readout
phase, the sensor automatically resumes operation in ERS mode. The first frame integrated with ERS will be generated after a delay of approximately:
((13 + coarse_integration_time) * line_length_pck).
This sequence is shown in Figure 16.

While operating in ERS mode, double-buffered registers are updated at the start of each
frame in the usual way. During the global reset sequence, double-buffered registers are
updated just before the start of the readout phase.

The registers global_rst_end and global_read_start allow the duration of the row reset

the readout phase is determined by the active image size.
As soon as the global_rst_end count has expired, all rows in the pixel array are simultaneously taken out of reset and the pixel array begins to integrate incident light.

Control of the Electromechanical Shutter
Figure 18 shows two different ways in which a shutter can be controlled during the
global reset sequence. In both cases, the maximum integration time is set by the difference between global_read_start and global_rst_end. In shutter example 1, the shutter is
open during the initial ERS sequence and during the row reset phase. The shutter closes
during the integration phase. The pixel array is integrating incident light from the start
of the integration phase to the point at which the shutter closes. Finally, the shutter
opens again after the end of the readout phase. In shutter example 2, the shutter is open
during the initial ERS sequence and closes sometime during the row reset phase. The
shutter both opens and closes during the integration phase. The pixel array is integrating
incident light for the part of the integration phase during which the shutter is open. As
for the previous example, the shutter opens again after the end of the readout phase.

is, until FV has de-asserted for the frame readout); otherwise, some rows of data will be
corrupted (over-integrated).
It is essential that the shutter closes before the end of the integration phase. If the row
readout phase is allowed to start before the shutter closes, each row in turn will be integrated for one row-time longer than the previous row.
After FV de-asserts to signal the completion of the readout phase, there is a time delay of
approximately 10 * line_length_pck before the sensor starts to integrate light-sensitive
rows for the next ERS frame. It is essential that the shutter be opened at some point in
this time window; otherwise, the first ERS frame will not be uniformly integrated.
The MT9J003 provides a SHUTTER output signal to control (or help the host system
control) the electromechanical shutter. The timing of the SHUTTER output is shown in
Figure 19 on page 55. SHUTTER is de-asserted by default. The point at which it asserts is
controlled by the programming of global_shutter_start. At the end of the global reset
readout phase, SHUTTER de-asserts approximately 2 * line_length_pck after the deassertion of FV.
This programming restriction must be met for correct operation:
global_read_start > global_shutter_start

Using FLASH with Global Reset
If global_seq_trigger[2] = 1 (global flash enabled) when a global reset sequence is triggered, the FLASH output signal will be pulsed during the integration phase of the global
reset sequence. The FLASH output will assert a fixed number of cycles after the start of
the integration phase and will remain asserted for a time that is controlled by the value
of the flash_count register, as shown in Figure 20.

External Control of Integration Time
If global_seq_trigger[1] = 1 (global bulb enabled) when a global reset sequence is triggered, the end of the integration phase is controlled by the level of trigger (global_seq_trigger[0] or the associated GPI input). This allows the integration time to be
controlled directly by an input to the sensor.
This operation corresponds to the shutter “B” setting on a traditional camera, where “B”
originally stood for “Bulb” (the shutter setting used for synchronization with a magnesium foil flash bulb) and was later considered to stand for “Brief” (an exposure that was
longer than the shutter could automatically accommodate).
When the trigger is de-asserted to end integration, the integration phase is extended by a
further time given by global_read_start – global_shutter_start. Usually this means that
global_read_start should be set to global_shutter_start + 1.
The operation of this mode is shown in Figure 21 on page 56. The figure shows the global
reset sequence being triggered by the GPI2 input, but it could be triggered by any of the
GPI inputs or by the setting and subsequence clearing of the global_seq_trigger[0] under
software control.

Sensor Readout Configuration
The integration time of the GRR sequence is defined as:
global_scale  [global_read_start – global_shutter_start – global_rst_end]
Integration Time = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (EQ 17)
vt_pix_clk_freq_mhz
Where:
global_read_start =  2
16
global_shutter_start =  2
 global_read_start2  7:0  + global_read_start1  15:0  
16
(EQ 18)
 global_shutter_start2  7:0  + global_shutter_start1  15:0   (EQ 19)
The integration equation allows for 24-bit precision when calculating both the shutter
and readout of the image. The global_rst_end has only 16-bit as the array reset function
and requires a short amount of time.
The integration time can also be scaled using global_scale. The variable can be set to
0–512, 1–2048, 2–128, and 3–32.
These programming restrictions must be met for correct operation of bulb exposures:
• global_read_start > global_shutter_start
• global_shutter_start > global_rst_end
• global_shutter_start must be smaller than the exposure time (that is, this counter
must expire before the trigger is de-asserted)

Retriggering the Global Reset Sequence
The trigger for the global reset sequence is edge-sensitive; the global reset sequence
cannot be retriggered until the global trigger bit (in the global_seq_trigger register) has
been returned to “0,” and the GPI (if any) associated with the trigger function has been
de-asserted.
The earliest time that the global reset sequence can be retriggered is the point at which
the SHUTTER output de-asserts; this occurs approximately 2 * line_length_pck after the
negation of FV for the global reset readout phase.
The frame that is read out of the sensor during the global reset readout phase has exactly
the same format as any other frame out of the serial pixel data interface, including the
addition of two lines of embedded data. The values of the coarse_integration_time and
fine_integration_time registers within the embedded data match the programmed
values of those registers and do not reflect the integration time used during the global
reset sequence.

Test Patterns
The MT9J003 supports a number of test patterns to facilitate system debug. Test patterns
are enabled using test_pattern_mode (R0x0600–1). The test patterns are listed in
Table 14.

rows are omitted and test pattern data replaces the pixel data).
HiSPi Test Patterns
Test patterns specific to the HiSPi are also generated. The test patterns are enabled by
using test_enable (R0x31C6 - 7) and controlled by test_mode (R0x31C6[6:4]).

For all of the test patterns, the MT9J003 registers must be set appropriately to control the
frame rate and output timing. This includes:
• All clock divisors
• x_addr_start
• x_addr_end
• y_addr_start
• y_addr_end
• frame_length_lines
• line_length_pck
• x_output_size
• y_output_size

Sensor Core Digital Data Path
Test Cursors
The MT9J003 supports one horizontal and one vertical cursor, allowing a crosshair to be
superimposed on the image or on test patterns 1–3. The position and width of each
cursor are programmable in R0x31E8–R0x31EE. Both even and odd cursor positions and
widths are supported.
Each cursor can be inhibited by setting its width to “0.” The programmed cursor position
corresponds to the x and y addresses of the pixel array. For example, setting horizontal_cursor_position to the same value as y_addr_start would result in a horizontal cursor
being drawn starting on the first row of the image. The cursors are opaque (they replace
data from the imaged scene or test pattern). The color of each cursor is set by the values
of the Bayer components in the test_data_red, test_data_greenR, test_data_blue and
test_data_greenB registers. As a consequence, the cursors are the same color as test
pattern 1 and are therefore invisible when test pattern 1 is selected.
When vertical_cursor_position = 0x0FFF, the vertical cursor operates in an automatic
mode in which its position advances every frame. In this mode the cursor starts at the
column associated with x_addr_start = 0 and advances by a step-size of 8 columns each
frame, until it reaches the column associated with x_addr_start = 2040, after which it
wraps (256 steps). The width and color of the cursor in this automatic mode are
controlled in the usual way.
The effect of enabling the test cursors when the image_orientation register is non-zero is
not defined by the design specification. The behavior of the MT9J003 is shown in
Figure 23 on page 60 and the test cursors are shown as translucent, for clarity. In practice, they are opaque (they overlay the imaged scene). The manner in which the test
cursors are affected by the value of image_orientation can be understood from these
implementation details:
• The test cursors are inserted last in the data path, the cursor is applied with out any
sensor corrections.
• The drawing of a cursor starts when the pixel array row or column address is within
the address range of cursor start to cursor start + width.
• The cursor is independent of image orientation.

The hard standby state is reached by the assertion of the RESET_BAR pad (hard reset).
Register values are not retained by this action, and will be returned to their default
values once hard reset is completed. The minimum power consumption is achieved by
the hard standby state. The details of the sequence are described below and shown in
Figure 26 on page 63.
1. Disable streaming if output is active by setting mode_select = 0 (R0x0100).
2. The soft standby state is reached after the current row or frame, depending on configuration, has ended.
3. Assert RESET_BAR (active LOW) to reset the sensor.
4. The sensor remains in hard standby state if RESET_BAR remains in the logic “0” state.

The MT9J003 can reduce power consumption by switching to the soft standby state
when the output is not needed. Register values are retained in the soft standby state.
Once this state is reached, soft reset can be enabled optionally to return all register
values back to the default. The details of the sequence are described below and shown in
Figure 27.

1. Disable streaming if output is active by setting mode_select = 0 (R0x0100).
2. The soft standby state is reached after the current row or frame, depending on configuration, has ended.
Soft Reset
1. Follow the soft standby sequence listed above.
2. Set software_reset = 1 (R0x0103) to start the internal initialization sequence.
3. After 2400 EXTCLKs, the internal initialization sequence is completed and the current
