AMIS-710249-A6: 200dpi CIS Module with Reflector Data Sheet 1.0 General Description The AMIS-710249-A6 (PI249MC-A6-R) is a contact imaging sensor (CIS) module. The module can operate from a single 5V supply. It has two +5V inputs. One supply is for the LED light source and the other is for the module’s circuit. The module contains 13 sequentially cascaded AMIS-720233 (PI3033) sensor chips. The AMIS-720233 is a 200 dots per inch (dpi) solid-state line imaging array, also a product of AMI Semiconductor. This imaging device is fabricated using MOS imaging sensor technology for its high-speed performance and high sensitivity. AMIS-710249-A6 is suitable for scanning A6 size (104mm) documents with eight dots per millimeter resolution. Applications include ticket, check and card scanners, a variety of mark readers and other automation equipment. 2.0 Key Features • • • • • • • • • • Low power-single power supply at 5.0V Light source, lens and sensor are integrated into a single module 8dpm resolution, 104mm scanning length High speed page scan - up to 167µsec/line @ 5MHz pixel rate Wide dynamic range Analog output White LED light source White pet reflector Compact size ≅ 14mm x 19mm x 120mm Light weight 3.0 Functional Description The AMIS-710249-A6 consists of 13 imaging array sensors, which are cascaded to provide 832 photo-detectors. Each sensor contains its associated multiplex switches and a digital shift register, which controls its sequential readout. Each sensor also contains a chip select switch so that each following chip is accessed sequentially as its predecessor chip completes its scan. These chips are mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB), along with clock buffers and a video signal amplifier (see Figure 1).

The document is illuminated with an LED light source which is also mounted in the housing (see Figure 2). Figure 2: AMIS-710249-A6 Cross Sectional View This pictorial cross section shows the LED bar light source and its illumination path. The light on the document reflects images of the document. The reflected images focus through the micro lens onto the image sensing line of the chips, where images are converted to proportional electrical charges. An on board amplifier processes these signal charges into proportional video signal voltages, which are sent out to the output video port. All components are housed in a small plastic housing and covered with a glass window. This cover glass not only serves to protect all of the critical components within the housing from dust, but along with the micro lens, it plays a minor role in the depth-of-focus because it lies in the optical path. 4.0 Pin Out Description There is one connector located at the end of the module. The outline of the module's housing in Figure 4 illustrates the connector location. With the module window facing down on the flat surface, the viewer looking down on backside of the module and the connector's pins facing the viewer, the connector is located on the right-hand end of the module. The connector is a single row of ten pins with a 1.25mm pin space. It is a JAE 1L-Z-10P-S125T3-E. Its I/O designation is provided in Table 1. The location of Pin 1 is indicated on the module outline.

Tint is determined by the interval of two start pulses (SP). Fclk: main clock frequency applied to into the module. It is also equal to the pixel frequency. Vpavg = ∑ Vp(n)/832; where Vp(n) is the nth pixel voltage value Up is defined as follows: Upmax= [(Vpmax - Vpavg) / Vpavg] x 100% and Upmin= [(Vpavg - Vpmin) / Vpavg] x 100%; where Upmax is determined by the highest nth video pixel, Vp(n), and Vpmin is determined by minimum pixel, Vp(n), then Up is selected from the largest of the two values |Upmax| or |Upmin|. Upadj is between two adjacent pixel's non-uniformity and defined as follows: Upadj = MAX[ | (Vp(n) - Vp(n+l) | / Vp(n)] x 100% Ud = Vdmax – Vdmin Vdmin is the minimum output in the dark Vdmax is the maximum output voltage in the light MTF = [(Vmax - Vmin) / (Vmax + Vmin)] x 100 [%]. Depth of focus ( DOF), range is defined with the MTF. MTF is measured at the glass surface to approximately 0.4mm from the glass surface, and is > 40% with its peaks at approximately the mid-point, 0.2mm.
