™ Peripheral Imaging Corporation PI226M-A4 CIS Module 200DPI CIS Sensor Engineering Data Sheet Key Features • Light source, lens, and sensor are integrated into a single module • 8 dpm resolution, 216 mm scanning length • Electrically 347µsec/line scanning speed possible with optional light sources • YELLOW-GREEN LED light source, limits the typical line scan to 695 µsec @ 2.5 MHz • Wide dynamic range • Analog output • Compact size ≅ 14 mm x 19 mm x 232 mm • Low power • Light weight General Description The PI226M-A4 is a CIS module. It is a contact image sensor, using MOS image sensor technology for high-speed performance and high sensitivity. The PI226M-A4 is suitable for scanning A4 size (216 mm) documents with 8 dots per millimeter resolution. Applications include fax machines, game systems, variety of mark readers, and other automation equipment requiring document scanners. Functional Description The PI226M-A4 imaging array consists of 27 sensors, PI3020 produced by Peripheral Imaging Corp, that are cascaded to provide 1728 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 micro lens array that focuses on the image of the scanned documents then transfers it onto the sensors. The on-board amplifier Page 1 of 6 - PI226M-A4, 2-22-02 processes the video signal to produce a sequential stream of video at the output pin of the PI226M-A4 module. Illumination is by means of an integrated Yellow-Green LED light source. All components are housed in a small plastic housing which has a cover glass that acts as the focal point for the object being scanned, 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. For pin 1 location, see Figure 4, The Overall View of the Module House. The cross section of the PI226M-A4 is shown in Figure 1 and the block diagram in Figure 2.

Tint is determined by the interval of two SP, start pulses. This integration time of 695 µsec typically set at the factory for YellowGreen LED. The minimum integration time of 347us is available at 5.0 MHz pixel rate, but it will require optional light sources.
