MT9V111
Increase Driver Awareness with
a Crystal-Clear Second Set of Eyes
Aptina’s Image Sensor for Automotive
Displays
Our MT9V111 automotive image sensor helps increase
drivers’ awareness of what occurs in and around their
vehicles. That’s because our unique low-noise, stable-
temperature design enables it to capture extraordinarily
clear images. Needing less than the amount of light
from a single candle, the MT9V111 outputs crisp images
for automotive display applications that are just as ef-
fective on the darkest nights as on the brightest days:
• Rear video
• Blind spot assistance
• Side view
• Mirror replacement
• Parking assistance
• Passenger viewing
• Accident reconstruction
Use Automotive Sensors
for Automotive Imaging
The performance requirements of automotive image
sensors differ from those of PC cameras and digital cam-
eras. We designed the MT9V111 for the extreme auto-
motive environment. It boasts an operating temperature
range of –40°C to +85°C. It comes in a 52-pin iBGA
package that stands up to automotive environmental
standards. And it outputs full-color video at VGA resolu-
tion, so drivers can clearly identify scenes on automotive
displays.
All-Inclusive Camera System
Reduces Parts and Costs
The MT9V111 is a complete camera system-on-a-chip
(SOC). Its programmable on-chip processor performs
extensive camera functions including color recovery and
correction; gamma correction; sharpening; auto black
level offset correction; auto exposure, lens shading,
flicker detection and avoidance, white balance; and on-
the-fly defect identification and correction. With all the
necessary functionality built in, this all-in-one solution
reduces the bills of materials and the costs of driver
awareness systems.
