AMIS-710250: 200dpi CIS Module Data Sheet 1.0 General Description The AMIS-710250 (PI250MC-A6) is a contact imaging sensor (CIS) module. It is a successor module to its predecessor, AMIS710223-A6 (PI223MC-A6) it possesses all superb qualities of its predecessor; except, it has one outstanding feature - it can operate from a single 5V supply. Like its predecessor, it is composed of 13 AMIS-720220 (PI3020) sensor chips. The AMIS-720220 is a 200 dots per inch (dpi) solid-state line imaging array, also a product of AMI Semiconductor. This imaging device is fabricated using MOS imaging sensor technology for its high-speed performance and high sensitivity. Like its predecessor, the AMIS-710250 is suitable for scanning A6 size (104mm) documents with 8 dots per millimeter (dpm) resolution. Applications include ticket, check and card scanners, a variety of mark readers and other automation equipment. 2.0 Key Features • • • • • • • • • Low power-single power supply at 5.0V Light source, lens and sensor are integrated into a single module 8dpm resolution, 104mm scanning length High speed page scan - up to 167µsec/line @ 5MHz pixel rate with internal optical modification (optional feature) Wide dynamic range Analog output Yellow-Green LED light source Compact size ≅ 14mm x 19mm x 120mm Light weight 3.0 Functional Description The AMIS-710250 consists of 13 imaging array sensors that are cascaded to provide 832 photo-detectors. Each sensor has its associated multiplex switches and a digital shift register that controls its sequential readout. Each sensor also contains a chip-select switch so that each following chip is accessed sequentially as its predecessor chip completes its scan. These chips are mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) along with clock buffers and video signal amplifier. The only change from its predecessor module is in this amplifier. It as been slightly altered from its predecessor module to gain the single supply feature, see Figure 1.

The document is illuminated with a LED light source which is also mounted in the housing. See Figure 2. Figure 2: AMIS-710250 Cross Sectional View This pictorial cross section shows the LED bar light source and its illumination path. The light on the document reflects images on the document. The reflected images focus through the micro lens onto the chips' image sensing line where images are converted to proportional electrical charges. An on board amplifier processes these signal charges into proportional video signal voltages, which are sent out to the output video port. AMI Semiconductor – May 06, M-20547-001 www.amis.com 2 AMIS-710250: 200dpi CIS Module Data Sheet All components are housed in a small plastic housing and covered with a glass window. This cover glass not only serves to protect all of the critical components within the housing from dust, but, along with micro lens, it determines the depth-of-focus because it lies in the optical path. 4.0 Pin Out Description There is one connector located at the end of the module. The outline of the module in Figure 4 of the mechanical section illustrates the connector location. With the module window facing down on a flat surface, with the viewer looking down on backside of the module and with the connector's pins facing viewer, the connector is located on the right-hand end of the module. The connector is a 1.25mm single 10-pin row. Its I/O designation is provided in Table 1. Pin number 1 location is indicated on the module outline.
