µPD3794
2700 PIXELS × 3 COLOR CCD LINEAR IMAGE SENSOR
The µPD3794 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 µPD3794 has 3 rows of 2700 pixels, and each row has a single-sided readout type of charge transfer register.
And it has reset feed-through level clamp circuits, a clamp pulse generation circuit, an RGB selector and voltage
amplifiers. Therefore, it is suitable for 300 dpi/A4 color image scanners, color facsimiles and so on.

APPLICATION TIMING EXAMPLE (for reference)
The µPD3794 can be operated under the following timing to switch Red, Green, and Blue outputs and get each
color data in a 1-pixel period. However the offset level of each color is not the same. Therefore, offset level
compensation is required to each color by using each color’s data at dark or the optical black pixels.
The following timing and parameters are for reference only.

RECOMMENDED SOLDERING CONDITIONS
When soldering this product, it is highly recommended to observe the conditions as shown below.
If other soldering processes are used, or if the soldering is performed under different conditions, please make sure
to consult with our sales offices.
For more details, refer to our document "Semiconductor Device Mounting Technology Manual"(C10535E).

Caution
Conditions

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.

NOTES FOR CMOS DEVICES
1 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.
2 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
device 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.
3 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.

No part of this document may be copied or reproduced in any form or by any means without the prior written
consent of NEC Corporation. NEC Corporation assumes no responsibility for any errors which may appear in
this document.
NEC Corporation does not assume any liability for infringement of patents, copyrights or other intellectual property
rights of third parties by or arising from use of a device described herein or any other liability arising from use
of such device. No license, either express, implied or otherwise, is granted under any patents, copyrights or other
intellectual property rights of NEC Corporation or others.
While NEC Corporation has been making continuous effort to enhance the reliability of its semiconductor devices,
the possibility of defects cannot be eliminated entirely. To minimize risks of damage or injury to persons or
property arising from a defect in an NEC semiconductor device, customers must incorporate sufficient safety
measures in its design, such as redundancy, fire-containment, and anti-failure features.
NEC devices are classified into the following three quality grades:
"Standard", "Special", and "Specific". The Specific quality grade applies only to devices developed based on a
customer designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications of
a device depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of each device
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: Aircrafts, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life
support systems or medical equipment for life support, etc.
The quality grade of NEC devices is "Standard" unless otherwise specified in NEC's Data Sheets or Data Books.
If customers intend to use NEC devices for applications other than those specified for Standard quality grade,
they should contact an NEC sales representative in advance.
Anti-radioactive design is not implemented in this product.
