■ Overview

The MN6732741 is camera signal-processing IC appropriate for a wide variety of applications, including surveillance cameras and cameras used for input to personal computers. In addition to the basic functions of luminance and chrominance signal processing, it also integrates the ALC, AWB, and AGC functions that were previously implemented using microcontroller signal processing. Furthermore, it also integrates on a single chip, including SSG, CG, and I2C-bus functions.
