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 PI240MC-A4 is suitable for scanning A4 size (216 mm) documents with 8 dots per millimeter resolution. Applications include variety of document scanners, variety of mark readers, and other automation equipment. Functional Description ROD LENS MODULE HOUSE The PI240MC-A4 imaging array consists of 27 chips that are cascaded to provide 1728 photodetectors with their associated multiplex DOCUMENT SURFACE GLASS WINDOW switches, and a digital shift register that controls its sequential readout. Mounted LIGHT PATH in the module is one-to-one graded R indexed micro lens array that focuses the BA D E L scanned documents to image onto its sensing plane. The on-board amplifier SENSORS processes the video signal to produce a sequential stream of video at the video PCB output pin of the PI240MC-A4 module. INSIDE PICTORIAL OF MODULE Figure 1.

Tint is determined by time interval between two start pulses, SP. The longest integration time is determined by the degree of leakage current degradation that can be tolerated by the system. A 10ms maximum is a typical rule-of-thumb hence the experienced CIS user can use his discretion in determining the integration time.
