™ Peripheral Imaging Corporation PI225MC-A6 CIS Module 200DPI CIS Sensor Engineering Data Sheet Key Features • Light source, lens, and sensor are integrated into a single module • 8 dpm resolution, 104 mm scanning length • High Speed Page Scan - up to 167 µsec/line @ 5MHz pixel rate • Wide dynamic range • Analog output • Red LED light source • Compact size ≅ 14 mm x 19 mm x 120 mm • Low power • Light weight General Description The PI225MC-A6 is a contact imaging sensor, CIS, module, which is composed of 13 PI3020 sensor chips. The PI3020 is a 200 DPI solid-state line imaging array, also a product of Peripheral Imaging Corporation. This imaging device is fabricated using MOS imaging sensor technology for high-speed performance and high sensitivity. The PI225MC-A6 is suitable for scanning A6 size (104 mm) documents with 8 dots per millimeter resolution. Applications include ticket, check and card scanners, variety of mark readers, and other automation equipment. Functional Description The PI225MC-A6 imaging array consists of 13 sensors that are cascaded to provide 832 photo-detectors with their associated multiplex switches, and a digital shift register that controls its sequential readout. Mounted in the module is one-to-one graded indexed PAGE 1 OF 6 - PI225MC-A6, 8/25/00 micro lens array that focuses the scanned documents to image onto its sensing plane. The on-board amplifier processes the video signal to produce a sequential stream of video at the video output pin of the PI225MC-A6 module. Illumination is by means of an integrated LED light source. All components are housed in a small plastic housing which has a cover glass which acts as the focal point for the object being scanned and protects the imaging array, micro lens assembly, and LED light source from dust. I/O to the module is the 10-pin connector located on one end of the module. The cross section of the PI225MC-A6 is shown in Figure 1 and the block diagram in Figure 2.

Definition: (1) Tint: Line scanning rate or integration time. Tint is determined by the interval of two SP, start pulses. The module was test at 180ms, but it will operate to 167ms with clocking speed of 5.0MHz. (2) f: main clock frequency. The module was tested at 5.0 MHz, but electrically it reliably operates above 5.0 MHz, but with a minimum integration time of 167 µsec.
