AMIS-710208-A7: 200dpi CIS Module Data Sheet 1.0 General Description The AMIS-710208-A7 (PI208MC-A7) is a contact image sensor (CIS) module containing contact image sensors, using MOS image sensor technology for high-speed performance and high sensitivity. The AMIS-710208-A7 is designed to scan documents with a short read length of 88mm. The module produces a single stream of sampled analog video proportional to images of a single horizontal line scan that is stepped vertically down a document page with a resolution of 8 dots per millimeter (dpm) and a width of 88mm. Applications include fax machines, game systems, variety of mark readers, and other automation equipment requiring document scanners. 2.0 Key Features • • • • • • • • Light source, lens and sensor are integrated into a single module 8dpm resolution, 88mm scanning length Up to 176µsec/line scanning speed, with 4MHz pixel rate (see Table 3, Note 2) Wide dynamic range 660nm light source Compact size ≅ 13mm x 25.6mm x 102mm Low-power Light weight 3.0 Functional Description The AMIS-710208-A7 imaging array consists of 11 AMIS-720233 (PI3033B) sensors, produced by AMIS, which are cascaded together to provide 704 photo-detectors (pixels) with their associated multiplex switches, and a digital shift register that controls its sequential readout. Each sensor is sequentially connected to initiate its scanning process at completion of its predecessor’s scan. Mounted in the module is a one-to-one graded-indexed micro lens array that focuses the image to be scanned onto the linear array pixels. The incident image is converted to an electrical signal and then the charge on each pixel is transferred to a common video line. The charge on each pixel is then converted to a voltage by a single video amplifier. The module output is then available on Pin 1 of the connector, Vout. Illumination is by means of an integrated LED light source. All components are housed in a small plastic housing which has a cover glass that acts as the focal point for the object being scanned. In addition, it protects the imaging array, micro lens assembly and LED light source from dust. Inputs and outputs (I/O’s) to and from the module are by an 8-pin connector, located on one end of the module. A cross-section of the AMIS-710208-A7 module is shown in Figure 1 and a block diagram in Figure 2.

Note that the glass window is facing down. Figure 3: Module Rear View “GAIN ADJUST” is used to change the analog gain. This is used to set the average video output (Vpavg) to a particular level when different exposure levels are employed. Vpavg is factory set with a particular exposure level. Note that the exposure is the product of light power and time of exposure (integration time). Since the module’s light power is a constant, then the total light exposure then depends on its integration time, which is the time between two Start Pulses (SP). The integration time is set at the factory usually according to the customer requirements; Vpavg is then adjusted to a particular level. From this level, if the integration time is decreased or increased, the specified Vpavg will increase or decrease proportionally. If it is necessary to restore the amplitude, within a limited range, it can be adjusted with the gain control. Vpavg is measured with the module’s glass window facing down on a standard white uniform target similar to the standard white copy or typing paper. The module connector is an 8-pin 1mm surface mount flex cable, part number Molex 52207-0890. Table 1 lists the connector pin-out and their descriptions.

Tint is the line scan rate or integration time. It is the time between two start pulses. Hence, the minimum integration time is fixed by the highest clock frequency. Here it is specified with a 4.0MHz clock frequency. Fclk is the main clock frequency, as is the pixel rate. Although the specification uses 4.0MHz, the module operates up to a maximum clock frequency of 5MHz. Vpavg = Σ Vp(n) / 704; where Vp is the pixel amplitude in volts and where n is sequential pixel number in one line scan.
