The MCM20014 is a fully integrated, high performance CMOS image sensor with features such as integrated timing
control, and analog signal processing for digital imaging applications. The part provides designers a complete im-
aging solution with a monolithic image capture and processing engine thus making it a true “camera on a chip”. Sys-
tem benefits enable design of smaller, portable, low cost and low power systems. Thereby making the product
suitable for a variety of consumer applications including still/full motion imaging, security/surveillance, and automo-
tive among others.
The imaging pixels are based on active CMOS pixels using pinned photodiodes that are realized using Motorola’s
sub-micron ImageMOS
TM
technology. The frame rate is completely adjustable from 0 to 30 frames per second
without adjusting the system clock from 10Mhz. Each pixel on the sensor is individually addressable allowing the
user to control “Window of Interest” (WOI) panning and zooming, sub-sampling, resolution, exposure, gain, and
other image processing features via a two pin I
2
C interface. Programmable digital signal processing blocks
included in the data path are bad-pixel replacement and noise compensation for image enhancement. The sensor
is run by supplying a single Master Clock. The sensor output is 8 or 10 digital bits depending on output mode
selected.
