™ Peripheral Imaging Corporation PI317MC-A6 300DPI CIS Module Engineering Data Sheet Key Features • Light source, lens, and sensor are integrated into a single module • 11.8 dpm resolution, 104 mm scanning length • Up to 250 µsec/line scanning speed, with 5MHz pixel rate • Wide dynamic range • Analog output • Yellow-green LED light source • Compact size ≅ 14 mm x 19 mm x 120 mm • Low power • Light weight General Description The PI317MC-A6 is a contact imaging sensor, CIS, module, which is composed of 13 PI3021 sensor chips. The PI3021 is a 300 DPI solid-state line imaging array, also a product of Peripheral Imaging Corporation. This imaging device is fabricated using MOS imaging sensor technology for high-speed performance and high sensitivity. The PI317MC-A6 is suitable for scanning A6 size (104 mm) documents with 11.8 dots per millimeter resolution. Applications include ticket, check and card scanners, variety of mark readers, and other automation equipment. Functional Description The PI317MC-A6 imaging array consists of 13 sensors that are cascaded to provide 1248 photo-detectors with their associated multiplex switches, and a digital shift register that controls its sequential readout. Mounted in the module is one-to-one graded indexed PAGE 1 of 6 PI317MC-A6, 05/01/01 micro lens array that focuses the scanned documents to image onto its sensing plane. The on-board amplifier processes the video signal to produce a sequential stream of video at the video output pin of the PI317MC-A6 module. Illumination is by means of an integrated LED light source. All components are housed in a small plastic housing which has a cover glass which acts as the focal point for the object being scanned and protects the imaging array, micro lens assembly, and LED light source from dust. I/O to the module is the 10-pin connector located on one end of the module. The cross section of the PI317MC-A6 is shown in Figure 1 and the block diagram in Figure 2.
