ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW
The MT9D115 combines a 2 Mp sensor core with an IFP to form a stand-alone solution for both image acquisition and processing. Both the sensor core and the IFP have internal registers that can be controlled by the user. In normal operation, an integrated microcontroller autonomously controls most aspects of operation. The processed image data is transmitted to the host system either through the parallel or MIPI interface.
Figure 1 shows the major functional blocks of the MT9D115.
