GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ON Semiconductor MT9P401 is a 1/2.5−inch CMOS active−pixel digital image sensor with an active imaging pixel array of 2592 (H) × 1944 (V). It incorporates sophisticated camera functions on−chip such as windowing, column and row skip mode, and snapshot mode. It is programmable through a simple two−wire serial interface.
