200DPI CIS Sensor Chip
Engineering Data Sheet
Description:
Peripheral Imaging Corporation PI3034A CIS sensor chip is a 200 dot per inch resolution
linear array image sensor chip, which uses PIC’s proprietary CMOS Image Sensing
Technology. This image sensor’s intended applications are to fabricate Contact Image Sensor,
CIS modules with various lengths. This is accomplished by mounting them on a printed circuit
board (PCB) through an end-to-end butting process. This process is generally referred to as
the chip-on-board technology. Its typical circuit implementation in an A4 size 1728 elements
CIS module is shown in a schematic diagram on page 6. The schematic demonstrates its
operational implementation and interfacing circuits. They are used in facsimile, scanner, check
reader, and office automation equipment.
Figure 1 is a block diagram of the sensor chip. Each sensor chip consists of 64 detector elements,
their associated multiplexing switches, buffers, and a chip selector. The detector element-to-element
spacing is approximately 125 um. The size of each chip without scribe lines is 7950 um by 290 um.
Each sensor chip has 6 bonding pads. The pad symbols and functions are described in Table 1.

Table 2. Electro-Optical Characteristic
Notes: (1) Tint stands for the line scanning rate or the integration time. It is determined
by the time interval between two start pulses.
(2) f stands for the input clock frequency:
@ 500 kHz the total active line scan time for a A4 CIS module is 3.45 ms
of the line integration time.
(3) Vp is an average of the pixel amplitudes in one complete line scan. These
video pixels are converted from signal currents produced by the
phototransistor at each pixel site. The signal current charges the video line
capacitance that is isolated with amplifier buffer. The output current is
proportional to the charges that have been collected on the phototransistor’s
base through a photon-to-electron conversion process. These charges on
the base draw signal current through the emitter proportionally to the Beta of
the phototransistor. Then the emitter current flows out onto the output video
line capacitance where it is integrated and converted to signal voltage. This
is the signal voltage that the host receiver senses. Before accessing the
subsequent pixel, this video signal on the video line capacitance is reset
through a shunt switch on the video line. Then the next pixel in sequence is
readout onto the video line. This video buffer amplifier terminating the video
line provides the necessary amplification. Most user generally set their
operating output signal to ~ 1.0 V peak average with the saturation level of ~
1.5 V. For the circuit reference see the attached schematic diagram on
page 6. Typical amplification (adjustable) gain is between 4 to 5 times the
voltage that is measured on the video line.
(4) Up = [( Vpmax-Vp)/ Vp]x100%
Or [( Vp-Vpmin)/ Vp]x100%
N
Where Vp =
∑ Vpn / N
n
Vpmax is the maximum pixel output voltage in the light.
Vpmin is the minimum pixel output voltage in the light.
In the light means module exposed a uniform light.
(5) Vd = ( Vdmax+Vdmin)/2
Vdmax is the maximum pixel output voltage in the dark.
Vdmin is the minimum pixel output voltage in the dark.
In the dark means that sensor has no exposure to the light.
(6) Ud = [( Vdmax-Vdmin)/ Vd]x100%

Table 5. Timing Symbols and Definition
Notes:
1. Clock pulse width varies with frequency, as it was explained foregoing paragraphs.
2. Prohibit crossing time to insure that two start pulses are not locked into the shift register
during any single scan time.
3. Pixel delay times and settling time depend on the output amplifier. The numbers, which are
given, are measured with an EL2044 amplifier. The faster the amplifier, the faster the signal
will respond. In other words, faster rise and settle times are faster.
Output Circuits for Video Signal
The circuit in following page shows the PI3034A in a CIS module application. It also serves not only a
reference for the above operational explanation given in note 3 under Table 2. Electro-Optical
Characteristics; it further exemplifies a method for interfacing the device in developing a 1728 element,
A4 size CIS module.
