About This Document
This developer guide is a reference for hardware and software engineers developing
camera systems using the Aptina
®
MT9T111 CMOS digital image sensor. The MT9T111
is a complete system-on-a-chip (SOC) image sensor that integrates seamlessly in today's
mobile phone applications. It incorporates sophisticated on-chip camera functions and
is programmable through a serial interface. This document provides information on
hardware interfaces, camera control, and register programming recommendations to
optimize image quality.
The system configuration section provides system-level information about the
MT9T111. This information is intended for module integrators or board-level design
engineers. It covers the MT9T111’s signal descriptions, system connections, power
supply configuration, and I/O signal states.
The architecture overview
describes functions of each major block and their related
register descriptions inside the MT9T111. It covers the PLL, the two-wire serial interface,
the output interface, GPIO signals, and the OTP memory.
The programming and operation section provides the programming procedure and
initialization process of the MT9T111. It covers how to access internal registers and vari-
ables using the two-wire serial interface. It also covers the power-on initialization
process, PLL programming, and standby mode operation. Example code is included.
The image signal processing flow and camera control section describes a variety of
features of the MT9MT111 including: auto focus (AF), anti-shaking, auto exposure (AE),
auto white balance (AWB), flicker detection (FD), JPEG output, lens shading correction
(LC), gamma correction, and context switching. Related registers are included.
The development tool overview provides steps to calibrate the MT9T111 for timing, lens
shading, and color tuning. It also covers how to use the Register Wizard and DevWare
tools.
There are two appendices that provide application examples for using the MT9T111 in a
dual camera system and in the demo board system environment. Appendix A describes
the system-level connections with a secondary sensor for dual camera mode. Appendix
B provides a high-level board-to-board interconnection description of the demo board
system.
