series introduction

# MT9M034I12STC Product Series Introduction

## 1. Overview
The MT9M034I12STC product series represents a cutting - edge line of image sensors developed to meet the diverse and demanding requirements of modern imaging applications. These sensors are engineered with advanced semiconductor technology, offering high - performance imaging capabilities in a compact and efficient package.

## 2. Key Features

### High - Resolution Imaging
The MT9M034I12STC sensors are capable of delivering high - resolution images. With a specific pixel configuration, they can capture fine details, making them suitable for applications where image clarity is of utmost importance. For example, in surveillance systems, the high resolution allows for clear identification of objects and individuals from a distance.

### Low - Light Performance
One of the standout features of this product series is its excellent low - light performance. The sensors are equipped with advanced pixel technology that enhances their sensitivity to light. This means that even in dimly lit environments, such as night - time surveillance or indoor areas with limited lighting, the sensors can produce clear and usable images. They can effectively reduce noise and improve signal - to - noise ratio (SNR) in low - light conditions, ensuring that important details are not lost.

### Fast Frame Rates
The MT9M034I12STC sensors support fast frame rates, enabling the capture of dynamic scenes without significant motion blur. This is crucial in applications like sports photography, machine vision for high - speed manufacturing processes, and automotive safety systems where real - time image processing is required. The ability to capture multiple frames per second allows for smooth video recording and accurate analysis of moving objects.

### Global Shutter
These sensors feature a global shutter mechanism. Unlike rolling shutters, which read out the image line by line, a global shutter captures the entire image at once. This eliminates the distortion that can occur when photographing fast - moving objects, such as in robotics or high - speed industrial inspection. It ensures that the image is a true representation of the scene at a specific moment in time.

### Wide Dynamic Range
The wide dynamic range of the MT9M034I12STC sensors allows them to capture images with both bright and dark areas simultaneously without losing details. In outdoor scenes, for instance, where there may be direct sunlight and deep shadows, the sensors can adjust to the different light intensities and produce an image where both the well - lit and shaded areas are clearly visible. This is beneficial in applications such as traffic monitoring and outdoor surveillance.

## 3. Technical Specifications

### Pixel Array
The sensors have a specific pixel array layout, which determines the overall resolution of the image. The precise number and arrangement of pixels contribute to the sensor's ability to capture fine details and produce high - quality images.

### Pixel Size
The pixel size of the MT9M034I12STC sensors is optimized to balance light sensitivity and spatial resolution. A larger pixel size generally allows for better light collection, which is advantageous in low - light conditions, while a smaller pixel size can contribute to higher resolution in a given sensor area.

### Output Format
The sensors support various output formats, such as digital interfaces like MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface). This makes it easy to integrate the sensors with different types of processors and imaging systems, providing flexibility for system designers.

### Power Consumption
Designed with energy efficiency in mind, the MT9M034I12STC sensors have relatively low power consumption. This is important for battery - powered devices, such as portable cameras or drones, as it helps to extend the device's operating time.

## 4. Applications

### Surveillance
In the field of surveillance, the MT9M034I12STC sensors are ideal due to their high - resolution imaging,
