The sensor consists of 64 photodiodes arranged in a linear array. Light energy impinging on a photodiode
generates photocurrent, which is integrated by the active integration circuitry associated with that pixel. During
the integration period, a sampling capacitor connects to the output of the integrator through an analog switch.
The amount of charge accumulated at each pixel is directly proportional to the light intensity and the integration
time. The integration time is the interval between two consecutive output periods.
The output and reset of the integrators is controlled by a 64-bit shift register and reset logic. An output cycle is
initiated by clocking in a logic 1 on SI for one positive going clock edge (see Figures1 and 2)
is clocked through the 64-bit shift register, the charge on the sampling capacitor of each pixel is sequentially
connected to a charge-coupled output amplifier that generates a voltage output, AO. When the bit position goes
low, the pixel integrator is reset. On the 65th clock rising edge, the SI pulse is clocked out of the shift register
and the output assumes a high-impedance state. Note that this 65th clock pulse is required to terminate the
output of the 64th pixel and return the internal logic to a known state. A subsequent SI pulse can be presented
as early as the 66th clock pulse, thereby initiating another pixel output cycle.
The voltage developed at analog output (AO) is given by:
where:
AO is driven by a source follower that requires an external pulldown resistor (330-
nominally 0 V for no light input, 2 V for normal white-level, and 3.4 V for saturation light level. When the device
is not in the output phase, AO is in a high impedance state.
A 0.1 F bypass capacitor should be connected between V
For proper operation, after meeting the minimum hold time condition, SI must go low before the next rising edge of the clock.
