Driver circuit for CMOS linear image sensor C13015 For CMOS linear image sensor S11639 The C13015 is a driver circuit developed for Hamamatsu CMOS linear image sensor S11639. By connecting the C13015 to a PC through the USB 2.0 interface, you can control the C13015 from the PC and acquire 16-bit digital output numeric data converted from the sensor’s analog video signal. The C13015 consists of a sensor circuit board that drives the sensor and an interface circuit board that drives the sensor circuit board and performs data communication with the PC. The two circuit boards are connected via a flexible cable. The sensor circuit board is compact, making it easy to be installed in optical systems. The interface circuit board has an external trigger I/O connectors that can be used to synchronize with external devices. This product comes with application software (DcIc-USB) that runs on Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit). It can be used to easily control the C13015 from the PC. The product also includes a DLL that the user can use to create original C13015 control programs.

For the detailed timing of each mode, see “Trigger mode” in “Timing chart” (P.4). · Internal mode · External edge mode · External level mode · External gate mode The gain can be set to a value between 1 and 6 with a 6-bit number ranging from 0 to 63. The preset gain is calculated by the following equation. The default gain is 1. 6 Gain= 1 + 5 63 - G 63 G: 6-bit value The offset can be set in the range of -255 to +255. The offset increment per step is approximately 1.2 mV. The offset is set by writing a 9-bit value to the C13015 internal register. If the most significant bit (MSB) of the 9-bit value is zero, the offset is positive. Otherwise, the offset is negative. The bit values other than the MSB are the magnitude of the offset. Note that because the offset circuit is arranged before the amplifier stage, the actual offset is equal to the offset value set above × gain. The sensor integration time is changed by changing the high period of the ST pulse. A maximum value exists for internal mode or external gate mode.
