DESCRIPTION

The MT9P031 sensor can be operated in its default mode

or programmed by the user for frame size, exposure, gain

setting, and other parameters. The default mode outputs a

full resolution image at 14 frames per second (fps).

An on−chip analog−to−digital converter (ADC) provides

12 bits per pixel. FRAME_VALID (FV) and LINE_VALID

(LV) signals are output on dedicated pins, along with a pixel

clock that is synchronous with valid data.

The MT9P031produces extraordinarily clear, sharp

digital pictures, and its ability to capture both continuous

video and single frames makes it the perfect choice for a

wide range of consumer and industrial applications,

including cell phones, digital still cameras, digital video

cameras, and PC cameras..

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW

The MT9P031 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 27 MHz. The maximum pixel rate is 96 Mp/s,

corresponding to a clock rate of 96 MHz. Figure 1 illustrates

a block diagram of the sensor.

Interface

User interaction with the sensor is through the two−wire

serial bus, which communicates with the array control,

analog signal chain, and digital signal chain. The core of the

sensor is a 5 Mp 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

MT9P031

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 data are output at a rate of up to

96 Mp/s, in addition to frame and line synchronization

signals.

PIXEL DATA FORMAT

Pixel Array Structure

The MT9P031 pixel array consists of a 2752−column by

2004−row matrix of pixels addressed by column and row.

The address (column 0, row 0) represents the upper−right

corner of the entire array, looking at the sensor, as shown in

Figure 4.

The array consists of a 2592−column by 1944−row active

region in the center representing the default output image,

surrounded by a boundary region (also active), surrounded

by a border of dark pixels (see Table 4 and Table 5). The

boundary region can be used to avoid edge effects when

doing color processing to achieve a 2592 x 1944 result

image, while the optically black column and rows can be

used to monitor the black level.

Pixels are output in a Bayer pattern format consisting of

four “colors”−GreenR, GreenB, Red, and Blue (Gr, Gb, R,

B)−representing three filter colors. When no mirror modes

are enabled, the first row output alternates between Gr and

R pixels, and the second row output alternates between B

and Gb pixels. The Gr and Gb pixels have the same color

filter, but they are treated as separate colors by the data path

and analog signal chain.

Default Readout Order

By convention, the sensor core pixel array is shown with

pixel (0,0) in the top right corner (see Figure 4). This reflects

the actual layout of the array on the die. Also, the first pixel

data read out of the sensor in default condition is that of pixel

(16, 54).

When the sensor is imaging, the active surface of the

sensor faces the scene as shown in Figure 5. When the image

is read out of the sensor, it is read one row at a time, with the

rows and columns sequenced as shown in Figure 6.

Readout Sequence

Typically, the readout window is set to a region including

only active pixels. The user has the option of reading out

dark regions of the array, but if this is done, consideration

must be given to how the sensor reads the dark regions for

its own purposes.

Rows are read from the array in the following order:

1. Dark rows:

If Show_Dark_Rows is set, or if Manual_BLC is

clear, dark rows on the top of the array are read

out. The set of rows sampled are adjusted based on

the Row_Bin setting such that there are 8 rows

after binning, as shown in the Table 6. The

Row_Skip setting is ignored for the dark row

region.

If Show_Dark_Rows is clear and Manual_BLC is

set, no dark rows are read from the array as part of

this step, allowing all rows to be part of the active

image. This does not change the frame time, as

HDR is included in the vertical blank period.

2. Active image:

The rows defined by the row start, row size, bin,

skip, and row mirror settings are read out. If this

set of rows includes rows read out above, those

rows are resampled, meaning that the data is

invalid.

Row_Bin HDR (Dark Rows After Binning)

Columns are read out in the following order:

1. Dark columns:

If either Show_Dark_Columns or Row_BLC is

set, dark columns on the left side of the image are

read out followed by those on the right side. The

set of columns read is shown in Table 7. The

Column_Skip setting is ignored for the dark

columns.

If neither Show_Dark_Columns nor Row_BLC is

set, no dark columns are read, allowing all

columns to be part of the active image. This does

not change the row time, as WDC is included in the

vertical blank period.

2. Active image:

The columns defined by column start, column size,

bin, skip, and column mirror settings are read out.

If this set of columns includes the columns read

out above, these columns are resampled, meaning

the data is invalid.

OUTPUT DATA TIMING

The output images are divided into frames, which are

further divided into lines. By default, the sensor produces

1944 rows of 2592 columns each. The FV and LV signals

indicate the boundaries between frames and lines,

respectively. PIXCLK can be used as a clock to latch the

data. For each PIXCLK cycle, one 12−bit pixel datum

outputs on the DOUT pins. When both FV and LV are

asserted, the pixel is valid. PIXCLK cycles that occur when

FV is negated are called vertical blanking. PIXCLK cycles

that occur when only LV is negated are called horizontal

blanking.

Figure 8. Default Pixel Output Timing

PIXCLK

DOUT [11:0] P0 P1 P2 P3 P4

Vertical Blanking Horiz Blanking Valid Image Data Horiz Blanking Vertical Blanking

LV and FV

The timing of the FV and LV outputs is closely related to

the row time and the frame time.

FV will be asserted for an integral number of row times,

which will normally be equal to the height of the output

image. If Show_Dark_Rows is set, the dark sample rows

will be output before the active image, and FV will be

extended to include them. In this case, FV’s leading edge

happens at time 0.

LV will be asserted during the valid pixels of each row.

The leading edge of LV will be offset from the leading edge

of FV by 609 PIXCLKs. If Show_Dark_Columns is set, the

dark columns will be output before the image pixels, and LV

will be extended back to include them; in this case, the first

pixel of the active image still occurs at the same position

relative to the leading edge of FV. Normally, LV will only be

asserted if FV is asserted; this is configurable as described

below.

LV Format Options

The default situation is for LV to be negated when FV is

negated. The other option available is shown in Figure 9. If

Continuous_LV is set, LV is asserted even when FV is not,

with the same period and duty cycle. If XOR_Line_Valid is

set, but not Continuous_Line_Valid, the resulting LV will be

the XOR of FV and the continuous LV.

Frame Time

The pixel clock (PIXCLK) represents the time needed to

sample 1 pixel from the array, and is typically equal to 1

EXTCLK period. The sensor outputs data at the maximum

rate of 1 pixel per PIXCLK. One row time (tROW) is the

period from the first pixel output in a row to the first pixel

output in the next row. The row time and frame time are

defined by equations in Table 8.

MT9P031

www.onsemi.com

SERIAL BUS DESCRIPTION

Registers are written to and read from the MT9P031

through the two−wire serial interface bus. The MT9P031 is

a serial interface slave and is controlled by the serial clock

(SCLK), which is driven by the serial interface master. Data

is transferred into and out of the MT9P031 through the serial

data (SDATA) line. The SDATA line is pulled up to

VDD_IO offchip by a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Either the slave or

master device can pull the SDATA line LOW−the serial

interface protocol determines which device is allowed to

pull the SDATA line down at any given time.

Protocol

The two-wire serial defines several different transmission

codes, as follows:

1. a start bit

2. the slave device 8-bit address

3. an (a no) acknowledge bit

4. an 8-bit message

5. a stop bit

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 is 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

the data 8 bits at a time, with the slave sending an

acknowledge bit after each 8 bits. The MT9P031 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

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.

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.

Start Bit

The start bit is defined as a HIGH−to−LOW transition of

the data line while the clock line is HIGH.

Stop Bit

The stop bit is defined as a LOW−to−HIGH 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 (least significant bit) of the address indicates write

mode (0xBA), and a “1” indicates read mode (0xBB).

Data Bit Transfer

One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The

serial interface clock pulse is provided by the master. The

data must be stable during the HIGH period of the two−wire

serial interface clock−it can only change when the serial

clock is LOW. Data is transferred 8 bits at a time, followed

by an acknowledge bit.

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.

No-Acknowledge Bit

The no−acknowledge bit is generated when the data line

is not pulled down by the receiver during the acknowledge

clock pulse. A no−acknowledge bit is used to terminate a

16-Bit WRITE Sequence

A typical WRITE sequence for writing 16 bits to a register

is shown in Figure 11. 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

After each 8−bit transfer, the image sensor gives an

acknowledge bit. All 16 bits must be written before the

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.

FEATURES

Reset

The MT9P031 may be reset by using RESET_BAR

(active LOW) or the reset register.

Hard Reset

Assert (LOW) RESET_BAR, it is not necessary to clock

the device. All registers return to the factory defaults. When

the pin is negated (HIGH), the chip resumes normal

operation.

Soft Reset

Set the Reset register field to “1” (R0x0D[0] = 1). All

registers except the following will be reset:

•Chip_Enable

•Synchronize_Changes

•Reset

•Use_PLL

•Power_PLL

•PLL_m_Factor

•PLL_n_Divider

•PLL_p1_Divider

When the field is returned to “0,” the chip resumes normal

operation.

Power Up and Power Down

When first powering on the MT9P031, follow this

sequence:

1. Ensure RESET_BAR is asserted (LOW).

2. Bring up the supplies. If both the analog and the

digital supplies cannot be brought up

simultaneously, ensure the digital supply comes up

first.

3. Negate RESET_BAR (HIGH) to bring up the

sensor.

When powering down, be sure to follow this sequence to

ensure that I/Os do not load any buses that they are

connected to.

1. Assert RESET_BAR.

2. Remove the supplies.

Clocks

The MT9P031 requires one clock (EXTCLK), which is

nominally 96 MHz. By default, this results in pixels being

output on the DOUT pins at a maximum data rate of 96 Mp/s.

With VDD_IO = 1.8 V, maximum master clock and

maximum data rate become 48 MHz and 48 Mp/s,

respectively. The EXTCLK clock can be divided down

internally by setting Divide_Pixel_Clock to a non−zero

value. This slows down the operation of the chip as though

EXTCLK had been divided externally.

fEXTCLK if Divide_Pixel_Clock = 0

fPIXCLK= {

fEXTCLK / (2 × Divide_Pixel_Clock) otherwise

The DOUT, LV, FV, and STROBE outputs are launched on

the rising edge of PIXCLK, and should be captured on the

falling edge of PIXCLK. The specific relationship of

PIXCLK to these other outputs can be adjusted in two ways.

If Invert_Pixel_Clock is set, the sense of PIXCLK is

inverted from that shown in Figure 8. In addition, if the pixel

clock has been divided by Divide_Pixel_Clock, it can be

shifted relative to the other outputs by setting

Shift_Pixel_Clock.

PLL-Generated Master Clock

The PLL contains a prescaler to divide the input clock

applied on EXTCLK, a VCO to multiply the prescaler

output, and another divider stage to generate the output

clock. The clocking structure is shown in Figure 13. PLL

control registers can be programmed to generate desired

master clock frequency.

NOTE: The PLL control registers must be programmed

while the sensor is in the software Standby state.

The effect of programming the PLL divisors

while the sensor is in the streaming state is

undefined.

PLL Setup

The MT9P031 has a PLL which can be used to generate

the pixel clock internally.

To use the PLL:

1. Bring the MT9P031 up as normal, make sure that

fEXTCLK is between 6 and 27 MHz and then

power on the PLL by setting Power_PLL

(R0x10[0] = 1).

2. Set PLL_m_Factor, PLL_n_Divider, and

PLL_p1_Divider based on the desired input

(fEXTCLK) and output (fPIXCLK) frequencies.

Determine the M, N, and P1 values to achieve the

desired fPIXCLK using this formula:

fPIXCLK = (fEXTCLK × M) / (N × P1)

where

M = PLL_m_Factor

N = PLL_n_Divider + 1

P1 = PLL_p1_Divider + 1

2 MHz < fEXTCLK / N < 13.5 MHz

180 MHz < (fEXTCLK × M) / N < 360 MHz

NOTE: If P1 is odd (that is, PLL_p1_Divider is even),

the duty cycle of the internal system clock will

not be 50:50. In this case, it is important that

either a slower clock is used or all clock enable

bits are set in R101.

It is desirable to keep (fEXTCLK / n) as large as

possible within the limits. Also, ”m” must be

between 16 and 255, inclusive.

3. Wait 1ms to ensure that the VCO has locked.

4. Set Use_PLL (R0x10[1] = 1) to switch from

EXTCLK to the PLL-generated clock.

Standby and Chip Enable

The MT9P031 can be put in a low-power Standby state by

either method below:

1. Hard Standby: By pulling STANDBY_BAR LOW,

2. Soft Standby: By clearing the Chip_Enable

When the sensor is put in standby, all internal clocks are

gated, and analog circuitry is put in a state that it draws

minimal power. The two wire serial interface is still active.

If the sensor was in continuous mode when put in standby,

it resumes from where it was when standby was deactivated.

Naturally, this frame and the next frame are corrupted,

though the sensor itself does not realize this. As this could

affect automatic black level calibration, it is recommended

that either the chip be paused (by setting Restart_Pause)

before being put in standby mode, or it be restarted (setting

Restart) upon resumption of operation.

Entering Soft Standby

REG= 0x0B, 0x0002

REG= 0x0B, 0x0003

REG= 0x07, 0x1F82

REG= 0x07, 0x1F80

REG= 0x0B, 0x0001

Leaving Soft Standby

REG= 0x0B, 0x0002

REG= 0x0B, 0x0003

REG= 0x07, 0x1F80

REG= 0x07, 0x1F82

REG= 0x0B, 0x0001

For maximum power savings in standby mode, EXTCLK

should not be toggling.

When standby mode is entered, either by clearing

Chip_Enable or by asserting STANDBY_BAR, the PLL is

disabled automatically or powered down. It must be

manually re-enabled when leaving standby as needed.

Full-Array Readout

The entire array, including dark pixels, can be read out

without digital processing or automatic black level

adjustments. This can be accomplished as follows:

1. Set Row_Start and Column_Start to 0.

2. Set Row_Size to 2003.

3. Set Column_Size to 2751.

4. Set Manual_BLC to 1.

5. Set Row_BLC to 0.

6. Set Row_Black_Default_Offset to 0.

7. Set Show_Dark_Rows and Show_Dark_Columns

to 0.

If automatic analog (coarse) BLC is desired, but no digital

processing, modify the above settings as follows:

1. Set Row_Start to 12.

2. Set Row_Size to 1993.

3. Set Manual_BLC to 0.

These settings result in the same array layout as above, but

only 22 dark rows are available at the top of the array; the

first eight are used in the black level algorithm, and there

should be a two-row buffer between the black region and the

active region.

Window Control

The output image window of the pixel (the FOV) is

defined by four register fields. Column_Start and Row_Start

define the X and Y coordinates of the upper-left corner of the

FOV. Column_Size defines the width of the FOV, and

Row_Size defines the height of the FOV in array pixels.

The Column_Start and Row_Start fields must be set to an

even number. The Column_Size and Row_Size fields must

be set to odd numbers (resulting in an even size for the FOV).

The Row_Start register should be set no lower than 12 if

either Manual_BLC is clear or Show_Dark_Rows is set.

If no special resolution modes are set (see below), the

width of the output image, W, is Column_Size + 1 and the

height, H, is Row_Size + 1.

MT9P031

www.onsemi.com

Readout Modes

Subsampling

By default, the resolution of the output image is the full

width and height of the FOV as defined in “Window

Control”. The output resolution can be reduced by two

methods: Skipping and Binning.

Row and column skip modes use subsampling to reduce

the output resolution without reducing FOV. The MT9P031

also has row and column binning modes, which can reduce

the impact of aliasing introduced by the use of skip modes.

This is achieved by the averaging of 2 or 3 adjacent rows and

columns (adjacent same-color pixels). Both 2X and 4X

binning modes are supported. Rows and columns can be

binned independently.

Skipping

Skipping reduces resolution by using only selected pixels

from the FOV in the output image. In skip mode, entire rows

and columns of pixels are not sampled, resulting in a lower

resolution output image. A skip 2X mode skips one Bayer

pair of pixels for every pair output. Skip 3X skips two pairs

for each one pair output. Rows and columns are always read

out in pairs. If skip 2X mode is enabled with otherwise

default sensor settings, the columns in the output image

correspond to the pixel array columns 16, 17, 20, 21, 24,

25... .

Skipping can be enabled separately for rows and columns.

To enable skip mode, set either or both of Row_Skip and

Column_Skip to the number of pixel pairs that should be

skipped for each pair used in the output image. For example,

to set column skip 2X mode, set Column_Skip to “1”.

The size of the output image is reduced by the skip mode

as shown in the following two equations:

(eq. 1)

W+2 ceil((Column_Size )1))ń(2 (Column_Skip )1)))

H+2 ceil((Row_Size )1))ń(2 (Row_Skip )1))) (eq. 2)

Binning

Binning reduces resolution by combining adjacent

same-color imager pixels to produce one output pixel. All of

the pixels in the FOV contribute to the output image in bin

mode. This can result in a more pleasing output image with

reduced subsampling artifacts. It also improves low-light

performance. For columns, the combination step can be

either an averaging or summing operation. Depending on

lighting conditions, one or the other may be desirable. In

low-light conditions, summing produces a gain roughly

equivalent to the column bin factor. Column summing may

be enabled by setting Column_Sum.

Binning works in conjunction with skipping. Pixels that

would be skipped because of the Column_Skip and

Row_Skip settings can be averaged instead by setting

Column_Bin and Row_Bin to the number of neighbor pixels

to be averaged with each output pixel. For example, to set

bin 2X mode, set Column_Skip and Column_Bin to 1.

Additionally, Column_Start must be a multiple of

(2 * (Column_Bin + 1)) and Row_Start must be a multiple

of (2 * (Row_Bin + 1)).

Only certain combinations of binning and skipping are

allowed.

These are shown in Table 12. If an illegal skip value is

selected for a bin mode, a legal value is selected instead.

By setting R0x20[14] = 1, the readout order of the

columns is reversed, as shown in Figure 21. The starting

By default, active pixels in the resulting image are output

in row-major order (an entire row is output before the next

row is begun), from lowest row/column number to highest.

If desired, the output (and sampling) order of the rows and

columns can be reversed. This affects only pixels in the

active region defined above, not any pixels read out as dark

rows or dark columns. When the readout direction is

reversed, the color order is reversed as well (red, green, red,

and so on, instead of green, red, green, and so on, for

example).

MT9P031

www.onsemi.com

If row binning is combined with row mirroring, the

binning is still done in the positive direction. Therefore, if

the first output row in bin 2X + row mirror was 1997, pixels

on rows 1997 and 1999 would be averaged together. The

next pixel output would be from rows 1996 and 1998,

followed by the average of 1993 and 1995.

For column mirroring plus binning, the span of pixels used

should be the same as with non-mirror mode.

Maintaining a Constant Frame Rate

Maintaining a constant frame rate while continuing to

have the ability to adjust certain parameters is the desired

scenario. This is not always possible, however, because

shutter pointer for a frame is usually active during the

readout of the previous frame. Therefore, any register

changes that could affect the row time or the set of rows

sampled causes the shutter pointer to start over at the

beginning of the next frame.

By default, the following register fields cause a “bubble”

in the output rate (that is, the vertical blank increases for one

frame) if they are written in continuous mode, even if the

new value would not change the resulting frame rate:

•Row_Start

•Row_Size

•Column_Size

•Horizontal_Blank

•Vertical_Blank

•Shutter_Delay

•Mirror_Row

•Row_Bin

•Row_Skip

•Column_Skip

The size of this bubble is (SW × tROW), calculating the

row time according to the new settings.

The Shutter_Width_Lower and Shutter_Width_Upper

fields may be written without causing a bubble in the output

rate under certain circumstances. Because the shutter

sequence for the next frame often is active during the output

of the current frame, this would not be possible without

special provisions in the hardware. Writes to these registers

take effect two frames after the frame they are written, which

allows the shutter width to increase without interrupting the

output or producing a corrupt frame (as long as the change

in shutter width does not affect the frame time).

Synchronizing Register Writes to Frame Boundaries

Changes to most register fields that affect the size or

brightness of an image take effect on the frame after the one

during which they are written. These fields are noted as

“synchronized to frame boundaries” in Table 12 of the

effect on the next frame, the write operation must be

completed after the leading edge of FV and before the

trailing edge of FV.

As a special case, in Snapshot modes (see “Operating

Modes”), register writes that occur after FV but before the

next trigger will take effect immediately on the next frame,

as if there had been a Restart. However, if the trigger for the

next frame in ERS Snapshot mode occurs during FV, register

writes take effect as with continuous mode.

Additional control over the timing of register updates can

be achieved by using synchronize_changes. If this bit is set,

writes to certain register fields that affect the brightness of

the output image do not take effect immediately. Instead, the

new value is remembered internally. When

synchronize_changes is cleared, all the updates

simultaneously take effect on the next frame (as if they had

all been written the instant synchronize_changes was

cleared). Register fields affected by this bit are identified in

Table 13 of the register reference.

Fields not identified as being frame−synchronized or

affected by synchronize_changes are updated immediately

after the register write is completed. The effect of these

registers on the next frame can be difficult to predict if they

affect the shutter pointer.

Restart

To restart the MT9P031 at any time during the operation

of the sensor, write a “1” to the restart register (R0x0B[0] =

1). This has two effects: first, the current frame is interrupted

immediately. Second, any writes to frame-synchronized

registers and the shutter width registers take effect

immediately, and a new frame starts (in continuous mode).

take effect until that bit is cleared. The current row and one

following row complete before the new frame is started, so

the time between issuing the Restart and the beginning of the

next frame can vary by about tROW.

If Pause_Restart is set, rather than immediately beginning

the next frame after a restart in continuous mode, the sensor

pauses at the beginning of the next frame until Pause_Restart

is cleared. This can be used to achieve a deterministic time

period from clearing the Pause_Restart bit to the beginning

of the first frame, meaning that the controller does not need

to be tightly synchronized to LV or FV.

NOTE: When Pause_Restart is cleared, be sure to leave

Restart set to “1” for proper operation. The

Restart bit will be cleared automatically by the

device.

Image Acquisition Modes

The MT9P031 supports two image acquisition modes

(Shutter Types) (see “Operating Modes”), electronic rolling

shutter and global reset release.

Electronic Rolling Shutter

The ERS modes take pictures by scanning the rows of the

sensor twice in the order described in “Full-Array Readout”.

On the first scan, each row is released from reset, starting the

exposure. On the second scan, the row is sampled,

processed, and returned to the reset state. The exposure for

MT9P031

www.onsemi.com

any row is therefore the time between the first and second

scans. Each row is exposed for the same duration, but at

slightly different point in time, which can cause a shear in

moving subjects.

Whenever the mode is changed to an ERS mode (even

from another ERS mode), and before the first frame

following reset, there is an anti-blooming sequence where

all rows are placed in reset. This sequence must complete

before continuous readout begins. This delay is:

tALLRESET = 16 × 2004 × tACLK

Global Reset Release

The GRR modes attempt to address the shearing effect by

starting all rows’ exposures at the same time. Instead of the

first scan used in ERS mode, the reset to each row is released

simultaneously. The second scan occurs as normal, so the

exposure time for each row would different. Typically, an

external mechanical shutter would be used to stop the

exposure of all rows simultaneously.

In GRR modes, there is a startup overhead before each

frame as all rows are initially placed in the reset state

(tALLRESET). Unlike ERS mode, this delay always occurs

before each frame. However, it occurs as soon as possible

after the preceding frame, so typically the time from trigger

to the start of exposure does not include this delay. To ensure

that this is the case, the first trigger must occur no sooner

than tALLRESET after the previous frame is read out.

Exposure

The nominal exposure time, tEXP, is the effective shutter

time in ERS modes, and is defined by the shutter width, SW,

and the shutter overhead, SO, which includes the effect of

Shutter_Delay. Exposure time for other modes is defined

relative to this time. Increasing Shutter_Delay (SD)

decreases the exposure time. Exposure times are typically

specified in units of row time, although it is possible to

fine-tune exposures in units of tACLKs (where tACLK is 2

* tPIXCLK).

tEXP = SW × tROW – SO × 2 × tPIXCLK

where:

SW = max(1, (2 * 16 × Shutter_Width_Upper) +

Shutter_Width_Lower)

SO = 208 × (Row_Bin + 1) + 98 + min(SD, SDmax) – 94

SD = Shutter_Delay + 1

SDmax = 1232; if SW < 3

1504, otherwise

The exposure time is calculated by determining the reset

time of each pixel row (with time 0 being the start of the first

row time), and subtracting it from the sample time. Under

normal conditions in ERS modes, every pixel should end up

with the same exposure time. In global shutter release

modes, or in row binning modes, the exposure times of

individual pixels can vary.

In global shutter release modes (described later) exposure

time starts simultaneously for all rows, but still ends as

defined above. In a real system, the exposure would be

stopped by a mechanical shutter, which would effectively

stop the exposure to all rows simultaneously. Because this

specification does not consider the effect of an external

shutter, each output row’s exposure time will differ by

tROW from the previous row.

Global shutter modes also introduce a constant added to

the shutter time for each row, because the exposure starts

during the global shutter sequence, and not during any row’s

shutter sequence. For each additional row in a row bin, this

offset will increase by the length of the shutter sequence.

In Bulb_Exposure modes (see details in Table 13), the

exposure time is determined by the width of the TRIGGER

pulse rather than the shutter width registers. In ERS bulb

mode, it is still a multiple of row times, and the shutter

overhead equation still applies. In GRR bulb mode, the

exposure time is granular to ACLKs, and shutter overhead

(and thus shutter_delay) has no effect.

Operating Modes

In the default operating mode, the MT9P031 continuously

samples and outputs frames. It can be put in “snapshot” or

triggered mode by setting snapshot, which means that it

samples and outputs a frame only when triggered. To leave

snapshot mode, it is necessary to first clear Snapshot then

issue a restart.

When in snapshot mode, the sensor can use the ERS or the

GRR. The exposure can be controlled as normal, with the

shutter_width_lower and shutter_width_upper registers, or

it can be controlled using the external TRIGGER signal. The

various operating modes are summarized in Table 13.

Table 13. OPERATING MODE

ERS Continuous Default Frames are output continuously at the frame rate defined by tFRAME. ERS is

Frames are output one at a time, with each frame initiated by a trigger. GRR is

1. In ERS bulb mode, SW must be greater than 4 (use trigger wider than tROW * 4).

All operating modes share a common set of operations:

1. Wait for the first trigger, then start the exposure.

2. Wait for the second trigger, then start the readout.

The first trigger is by default automatic, producing

continuous images. If snapshot is set, the first trigger can

either be a low level on the TRIGGER pin or writing a “1”

to the trigger register field. If Invert_Trigger is set, the first

trigger is a high level on TRIGGER pin (or a “1” written to

trigger register field). Because TRIGGER is level-sensitive,

multiple frames can be output (with a frame rate of

tFRAME) by holding TRIGGER pin at the triggering level.

The second trigger is also normally automatic, and

generally occurs SW row times after the exposure is started.

If Bulb_Exposure is set, the second trigger can either be a

high level on TRIGGER or a write to Restart. If

Invert_Trigger is set, the second trigger is a low level on

TRIGGER (or a Restart). In bulb modes, the minimum

possible exposure time depends on the mechanical shutter

used.

After one frame has been output, the chip will reset step

1, above, eventually waiting for the first trigger again. The

next trigger may be issued after ((VB - 8) x tROW) in ERS

modes or tALLREST in GRR modes.

The choice of shutter type is made by Global_Reset. If it

is set, the GRR shutter is used; otherwise, ERS is used. The

two shutters are described in “Electronic Rolling Shutter”

and “Global Reset Release”.

The default ERS continuous mode is shown in Figure 8.

modes, while Figure 24 shows default signal timing for

GRR snapshot modes.

events such as a flash or mechanical shutter, the MT9P031

produces a STROBE output. By default, this signal is

asserted for approximately the time that all rows are

simultaneously exposing, minus the vertical blanking time,

as shown in Figure 23 and Figure 24. Also indicated in these

figures are the leading and trailing edges of STROBE, which

an be configured to occur at one of several timepoints. The

leading edge of STROBE occurs at STROBE_Start, and the

trailing edge at STROBE_End, which are set to codes

described in Table 14.

Table 14. STROBE TIMEPOINTS

Symbol Timepoint Code

TT1 Trigger 1 (start of shutter scan) –

TSE Start of exposure (all rows simultaneously exposing) offset by VB 1

TSW End of shutter width (expiration of the internal shutter width counter) 2

TT2 Trigger 2 (start of readout scan) 3

If STROBE_Start and STROBE_End are set to the same

timepoint, the strobe is a tROW wide pulse starting at the

STROBE_Start timepoint. If the settings are such that the

strobe would occur after the trailing edge of FV, the strobe

may be only tACLK wide; however, because there is no

concept of a row at that time. The sense of the STROBE

signal can be inverted by setting Invert_Strobe (R0x1E[5] =

1. To use strobe as a flash in snapshot modes or with

mechanical shutter, set the Strobe_Enable register bit field

R0x1E[4] = 1.

Signal Chain and Datapath

The signal chain and datapath are shown in Figure 25.

Each color is processed independently, including separate

gain and offset settings. Voltages sampled from the pixel

array are first passed through an analog gain stage, which

can produce gain factors between 1 and 8. An analog offset

is then applied, and the signal is sent through a 12-bit

analog-to-digital converter. In the digital space, a digital

gain factor of between 1 and 16 is applied, and then a digital

MT9P031

www.onsemi.com

offset of between –2048 and 2047 is added. The resulting

12-bit pixel value is then output on the DOUT[11:0] ports.

The analog offset applied is determined automatically by

the black level calibration algorithm, which attempts to shift

the output of the analog signal chain so that black is at a

particular level. The digital offset is a fine-tuning of the

analog offset.

Gain

There are two types of gain supported: analog gain and

digital gain. Combined, gains of between 1 and 128 are

possible. The recommended gain settings are shown in

Table 15.

Table 15. GAIN INCREMENT SETTINGS

Gain Range Increments Digital Gain Analog Multipier Analog Gain

4.25–8 0.25 0 1 17–32

9–128 1 1–120 1 32

1. Analog gain should be maximized before applying digital gain.

2. The recommended minimum gain is 1.38 (0x000B)

3. For optimal sensor performance, when using gain settings <= 4.0, also set reserved register R0x3E = 0x0080 and for gain settings >4.0,

set register R0x003E=0x00C0.

The combined gain for a color C is given by: GC = AGC x DGC.

Analog Gain

The analog gain is specified independently for each color

channel. There are two components, the gain and the

multiplier. The gain is specified by Green1_Analog_Gain,

Red_Analog_Gain, Blue_Analog_Gain, and

Green2_Analog_Gain in steps of 0.125. The analog

multiplier is specified by Green1_Analog_Multiplier,

Red_Analog_Multiplier, Blue_Analog_Multiplier, and

Green2_Analog_Multiplier. These combine to form the

analog gain for a given color C as shown in this equation:

AGC = (1 + C_Analog_Multiplier) × (C_Analog_Gain /

The gain component can range from 0 to 7.875 in steps of

0.125, and the multiplier component can be either 0 or 1

(resulting in a multiplier of 1 or 2). However, it is best to keep

the “gain” component between 1 and 4 for the best noise

performance, and use the multiplier for gains between 4 and

Digital Gain

The digital gain is specified independently for each color

channel in steps of 0.125. It is controlled by the register

fields Green1_Digital_Gain, Red_Digital_Gain,

Blue_Digital_Gain, and Green2_Digital_Gain. The digital

gain for a color C is given by:

DGC = 1 + (C_Digital_Gain / 8)

Offset

The MT9P031 sensor can apply an offset or shift to the

image data in a number of ways.

An analog offset can be applied on a color-wise basis to

the pixel voltage as it enters the ADC. This makes it possible

to adjust for offset introduced in the pixel sampling and gain

stages to be removed, centering the resulting voltage swing

in the ADC’s range. This offset can be automatically

determined by the sensor using the automatic black level

calibration (BLC) circuit, or it can be set manually by the

user. It is a fairly coarse adjustment, with adjustment step

sizes of 4 to 8 LSBs.

MT9P031

www.onsemi.com

Digital offset is also added on a color-wise and line-wise

basis to fine tune the black level of the output image. This

offset is based on an average black level taken from each

row’s dark columns, and is automatically determined by the

digital row-wise black level calibration (RBLC) circuit. If

the RBLC circuit is not used, a user-defined offset can be

applied instead. This offset has a resolution of 1 LSBs.

A digital offset is added on a color-wise basis to account

for channel offsets that can be introduced due to “even” and

“odd” pixels of the same color going through a slightly

different ADC chain. This offset is automatically

determined based on dark row data, but it can also be

manually set.

Analog Black Level Calibration

The MT9P031 black level calibration circuitry provides

a feedback control system since adjustments to the analog

offset are imprecise by nature. The goal is that within the

dark row region of any supported output image size, the

offset should have been adjusted such that the average black

level falls within the specified target thresholds.

The analog offsets normally need a major adjustment only

when leaving the Reset state or when there has been a change

to a color’s analog gain. Factors like shutter width and

temperature have lower-order impact, and generally only

require a minor adjustment to the analog offsets. The

MT9P031 has various calibration modes to keep the system

stable while still supporting the need for rapid offset

adjustments when necessary.

The two basic steps of black level calibration are:

1. Take a sample.

2. If necessary, adjust the analog offset.

Black level calibration is normally done separately for

each color channel, and different channels can use different

sample or adjustment methods at the same time. However,

because both Green1 and Green2 pixels go through the same

signal chain, and Red and Blue pixels likewise go through

the same signal chain, it is expected that the chosen offset for

these pairs should be the same as long as the gains are the

same. If Lock_Green_Calibration is set, and

(Green1_Analog_Gain = Green2_Analog_Gain) and

(Green1_Analog_Multiplier = Green2_Analog_

Multiplier), the calculated or user-specified Green1_Offset

is used for both green channels. Similarly, if

Lock_Red/Blue_Calibration is set, and (Red_Analog_Gain

= Blue_Analog_Gain) and (Red_Analog_Multiplier =

Blue_Analog_Multiplier), the calculated or user-specified

Red_Offset is used for both the red and blue channels.

The current values of the offsets can be read from the

Green1_Offset, Red_Offset, Blue_Offset, and

Green2_Offset registers. Writes to these registers when

Manual_BLC is set change the offsets being used. In

automatic BLC mode, writes to these registers are effective

when manual mode is re-entered. In Manual_BLC mode, no

sampling or adjusting takes place for any color.

Digital Black Level Calibration

Digital black level calibration is the final calculation

applied to pixel data before it is output. It provides a precise

black level to complement the coarser-grained analog black

level calibration, and also corrects for black level shift

introduced by digital gain. This correction applies to the

active columns for all rows, including dark rows.

Test Patterns

The MT9P031 has the capability of injecting a number of

test patterns into the top of the datapath to debug the digital

logic. With one of the test patterns activated, any of the

datapath functions can be enabled to exercise it in a

deterministic fashion. Test patterns are enabled when

Enable_Test_Pattern is set. Only one of the test patterns can

be enabled at a given point in time by setting the

Test_Pattern_Mode register according to Table 16. When

test patterns are enabled the active area will receive the value

specified by the selected test pattern and the dark pixels will

receive the value in Test_Pattern_Green for green pixels,

Test_Pattern_Blue for blue pixels, and Test_Pattern_Red for

red pixels’+.

NOTE: ON Semiconductor recommends turning off

black level calibration (BLC) when Test Pattern

is enabled, otherwise some of the test patterns

will not be properly output.
