Memory and CMOS image sensors for mobile applications

Wireless, handheld products that offer a combination of computing, mobile, and imaging capabilities typify today's on-the-go lifestyle. The drive to maximize the features and functionality of these consumer products is fueled by the availability of leading-edge technology. Stringent mobile application requirements, like high data reliability, small form factor, high bandwidth, and longer battery life, are best addressed by advanced memory solutions designed specifically for those complex conditions. And camera-enabled mobile applications—where the focus is on smaller, higher-performance products that take higher-quality pictures and consume less power—are well served by the overwhelming technical advantages of low-cost CMOS technology. Micron's comprehensive product portfolio is clearly mobile—encompassing both mobile memory and CMOS image sensor solutions including: Mobile DRAM, CellularRAM® memory, NAND Flash memory, Multichip Packages, CMOS image sensors.

Minimize Image Blur with the MT9T111

Image blur needlessly spoils thousands of camera phone pictures. Stop it with Micron's new 3-megapixel, 1/4-inch SOC image sensor—the first in its class to incorporate a motion-adaptive feature to minimize image blur caused by camera shake and fast-moving subjects. This motion-adaptive technology, combined with sophisticated functionality and Micron's best-in-class image quality, makes the MT9T111 an excellent choice for camera phones.

A Simple, Boot-from-NAND Solution

With its low cost and high performance, NAND Flash is making its way into more complex embedded systems like mobile phones, which have traditionally used NOR Flash. Because NAND Flash does not inherently support the execute-in-place (XIP) operation like NOR Flash does, system designers must modify the boot process for their systems when using NAND Flash.
