400DPI CIS Sensor Chip
Engineering Data Sheet
Description:
Peripheral Imaging Corporation PI3042A CIS, Contact Image Sensor is a 400 dot per inch
(dpi) resolution, linear array image sensor chip. The sensor chip is processed using PIC’s
proprietary CMOS Image Sensor Technology. Designed for cascading multiple chips in a
series, the image sensor chips, using chip-on-board process, are bonded end-to-end on a
printed circuit board (PCB). This bonding process allows users to produce variable CIS
module lengths in increments of chip array lengths. Hence, the wide variety of image reading
widths can easily be applied to the numerous document scanners, found in facsimile, as well
as, the narrow width scanners, such as, those found in check readers, lotto tickets, entrance
gate tickets and other office automation equipment which requires a wide variety of scanning
widths.
Figure 1 is a block diagram of the imaging sensor chip. Each sensor chip consists of 128 detector
elements, their associated multiplexing switches, buffers, and a chip selector. The detectors
element-to-element spacing is approximately 62.5 µm. The size of each chip without scribe lines is
8080 µm by 385 µm. Each sensor chip has 7 bonding pads. The pad symbols and functions are
described in Table 1.
