5400 PIXELS × 3 COLOR CCD LINEAR IMAGE SENSOR
DESCRIPTION
The µ PD8861 is a color CCD (Charge Coupled Device) linear image sensor which changes optical images to
electrical signal and has the function of color separation.
The µ PD8861 has 3 rows of 5400 pixels, and each row has a single-sided readout type of charge transfer register.
And it has reset feed-through level clamp circuits and voltage amplifiers. Therefore, it is suitable for 600 dpi/A4 color
image scanners, color facsimiles and so on.

Caution Product quality may suffer if the absolute maximum rating is exceeded even momentarily for any
parameter. That is, the absolute maximum ratings are rated values at which the product is on the
verge of suffering physical damage, and therefore the product must be used under conditions that
ensure that the absolute maximum ratings are not exceeded.

DEFINITIONS OF CHARACTERISTIC ITEMS
1. Saturation voltage : Vsat
Output signal voltage at which the response linearity is lost.
2. Saturation exposure : SE
Product of intensity of illumination (lx) and storage time (s) when saturation of output voltage occurs.
3. Photo response non-uniformity : PRNU
The output signal non-uniformity of all the valid pixels when the photosensitive surface is applied with the light
of uniform illumination. This is calculated by the following formula.
PRNU (%) =

5. Dark signal non-uniformity : DSNU
Absolute maximum of the difference between ADS and voltage of the highest or lowest output pixel of all the
valid pixels at light shielding. This is calculated by the following formula.

6. Output impedance : ZO
Impedance of the output pins viewed from outside.
7. Response : R
Output voltage divided by exposure (lx•s).
Note that the response varies with a light source (spectral characteristic).
8. Image lag : IL
The rate between the last output voltage and the next one after read out the data of a line.

9. Random noise (CDS) : σ CDS
Random noise σ CDS is defined as the standard deviation of a valid pixel output signal with 100 times (=100
lines) data sampling at dark (light shielding). σ CDS is calculated by the following procedure.
1. One valid photocell in one reading is fixed as measurement point.
2. The output level is measured during the reset feed-through period which is averaged over 100 ns to get
“VDi”.
3. The output level is measured during the video output time averaged over 100 ns to get “VOi”.
4.
The correlated double sampling output is defined by the following formula.
VCDSi = VDi – VOi
5. Repeat the above procedure (1 to 4) for 100 times (= 100 lines).
6. Calculate the standard deviation σ CDS using the following formula equation.

NOTES ON CLEANING THE PLASTIC CAP
1 CLEANING THE PLASTIC CAP
Care should be taken when cleaning the surface to prevent scratches.
The optical characteristics of the CCD will be degraded if the cap is scratched during
cleaning.
We recommend cleaning the cap with a soft cloth moistened with one of the recommended
solvents below. Excessive pressure should not be applied to the cap during cleaning. If the
cap requires multiple cleanings it is recommended that a clean surface or cloth be used.
2 RECOMMENDED SOLVENTS
The following are the recommended solvents for cleaning the CCD plastic cap. Use of
solvents other than these could result in optical or physical degradation in the plastic cap.
Please consult your sales office when considering an alternative solvent.

PRECAUTION AGAINST ESD FOR SEMICONDUCTORS
Note:
Strong electric field, when exposed to a MOS device, can cause destruction of the gate oxide and
ultimately degrade the device operation. Steps must be taken to stop generation of static electricity
as much as possible, and quickly dissipate it once, when it has occurred. Environmental control
must be adequate. When it is dry, humidifier should be used. It is recommended to avoid using
insulators that easily build static electricity. Semiconductor devices must be stored and transported
in an anti-static container, static shielding bag or conductive material. All test and measurement
tools including work bench and floor should be grounded. The operator should be grounded using
wrist strap. Semiconductor devices must not be touched with bare hands. Similar precautions need
to be taken for PW boards with semiconductor devices on it.

HANDLING OF UNUSED INPUT PINS FOR CMOS
Note:
No connection for CMOS device inputs can be cause of malfunction. If no connection is provided
to the input pins, it is possible that an internal input level may be generated due to noise, etc., hence
causing malfunction. CMOS devices behave differently than Bipolar or NMOS devices. Input levels
of CMOS devices must be fixed high or low by using a pull-up or pull-down circuitry. Each unused
pin should be connected to V DD or GND with a resistor, if it is considered to have a possibility of
being an output pin. All handling related to the unused pins must be judged device by device and
related specifications governing the devices.

STATUS BEFORE INITIALIZATION OF MOS DEVICES
Note:
Power-on does not necessarily define initial status of MOS device. Production process of MOS
does not define the initial operation status of the device. Immediately after the power source is
turned ON, the devices with reset function have not yet been initialized. Hence, power-on does
not guarantee out-pin levels, I/O settings or contents of registers. Device is not initialized until the
reset signal is received. Reset operation must be executed immediately after power-on for devices
having reset function.

liability arising from the use of such products. No license, express, implied or otherwise, is granted under any
patents, copyrights or other intellectual property rights of NEC or others.
• Descriptions of circuits, software and other related information in this document are provided for illustrative
purposes in semiconductor product operation and application examples. The incorporation of these
circuits, software and information in the design of customer's equipment shall be done under the full
responsibility of customer. NEC assumes no responsibility for any losses incurred by customers or third
parties arising from the use of these circuits, software and information.
• While NEC endeavours to enhance the quality, reliability and safety of NEC semiconductor products, customers
agree and acknowledge that the possibility of defects thereof cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize
risks of damage to property or injury (including death) to persons arising from defects in NEC
semiconductor products, customers must incorporate sufficient safety measures in their design, such as
redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features.
• NEC semiconductor products are classified into the following three quality grades:
"Standard", "Special" and "Specific". The "Specific" quality grade applies only to semiconductor products
developed based on a customer-designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The
recommended applications of a semiconductor product depend on its quality grade, as indicated below.
Customers must check the quality grade of each semiconductor product before using it in a particular
application.
"Standard": Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, audio
and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic equipment
and industrial robots
"Special": Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster
systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed
for life support)
"Specific": Aircraft, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems and medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC semiconductor products is "Standard" unless otherwise expressly specified in NEC's
data sheets or data books, etc. If customers wish to use NEC semiconductor products in applications not
intended by NEC, they must contact an NEC sales representative in advance to determine NEC's willingness
to support a given application.
(Note)
(1) "NEC" as used in this statement means NEC Corporation and also includes its majority-owned subsidiaries.
(2) "NEC semiconductor products" means any semiconductor product developed or manufactured by or for
NEC (as defined above).
