AMIS-722402: Contact Image Sensor Data Sheet 1.0 General Description AMI Semiconductor’s AMIS-722402 (PI5002D) contact image sensor (CIS) consists of 1376 active pixels which enables the selection of 2400, 1200, 600, or 300 dots per inch (dpi) resolutions, and employs AMI Semiconductor’s proprietary CMOS image sensing technology. The sensor contains an on-chip output amplifier, power down circuitry and parallel transfer features that are uniquely combined with the present-day active-pixel-sensor technology. The image sensors are designed to be cascaded end-to-end on a printed circuit board (PCB) and packaged in an image sensing module. Applications for the sensor array includes facsimiles, PC scanners, check readers, and office automation equipment. Figure 1 is a block diagram of the sensor, showing 1376 active pixels, their associated multiplexing switches, buffers, and an output amplifier circuit with a power down feature. The sensors pixel-pixel spacing is approximately 10.58µm. The size of each sensor without the scribe lines is 14560µm by 230µm. 2.0 Key Features • • • • • • • • • • • • 2400, 1200, 600, and 300dpi selectable resolutions 1376 image sensor elements (pixels) 10.58µm (2400dpi) pixel center-to-center spacing On-chip amplifier Single 3.3V power supply 3.3V input clocks and control signals 3MHz maximum pixel rate Parallel / integrate and transfer Power-down circuit High sensitivity Low power Low noise 14560µm 10.58µm 7.26µm 1 2 4 3 1374 Row of 1376 Pixels (2400dpi) 1375 1376 230µm Parallel Transfer, Storage Cells and Readout Registers Scan Direction Amplifier, PowerDown and Offset Control SI GBST CLK SIC WS VOUT VREF VSS VDD VBIAS Figure 1: Sensor Block Diagram AMI Semiconductor – Jan. 06, M-20499-004 www.amis.com 1 Biasing SR1 SR2 SO AMIS-722402: Contact Image Sensor Data Sheet 3.0 Unique Features There are six unique features incorporated into the AMIS-722402 which improve the sensor’s performance. 3.1 Pixel-to-pixel Offset Cancellation Circuit The sensor employs a pixel-to-pixel offset cancellation circuit, which reduces the fixed pattern noise (FPN), and amplifier offsets. In addition, this innovative circuit design greatly improves the optical linearity and low noise sensitivity. 3.2 Parallel Integrate, Transfer and Hold The sensor has a parallel integrate, transfer and hold feature, which allows the sensor to be read out while photon integration is taking place. These features are approached through the use of an integrate-and-hold cell, located at each pixel site. Each pixel’s charge is read from its storage site as the sensor’s shift register sequentially transfers each pixel’s charge onto a common video line. 3.3 Dual Scan Initiation Inputs, GBST and SI Each sensor has two scan initiation inputs, the global start pulse (GBST) and the start pulse (SI), which are compatible with standard 3.3V CMOS clocks. These clocks help to reduce the sensor-to-sensor transition FPN by initializing and preprocessing all sensors simultaneously before they start their readout scan. The internal shift register starts the scan after GBST is clocked in on the falling edge of the clock input (CLK). During the first 75 clock cycles following a GBST pulse, all the pixels of all the cascaded sensors cycle through their pre-scan initialization process that reduces FPN and reset noise. A sequence of cascaded sensors has a unique first sensor and identically behaving subsequent sensors. The start input control (SIC) defines whether a sensor will be the first sensor that self-starts the readout of its pixels or will be a subsequent sensor that waits for the SI before starting the readout of its pixels. With its SIC tied high (Vdd), the first sensor self-starts the readout of its pixels after 75 clock cycles of delay. With their SIC tied low (ground), all of the subsequent sensors delay their readout of their pixels until after they receive a SI pulse. Furthermore, the first sensor’s SI is left unconnected, while the subsequent sensors all have their SI connected to the endof-scan (SO) of their respective preceding sensor. Just prior to finishing its readout of its pixels, each sensor will send a SO pulse to its respective subsequent sensor so that its respective subsequent sensor will continue the readout of pixels without a pause or gap in readout. The external module-level start pulse (SP) is connected to all of the sensors' GBST inputs. nd For example in the 2400dpi mode, when the first sensor completes its scan, its SO appears on the rising edge of 1442 clock cycle after the entry of GBST and nine pixels before its last pixel, in order to have a continuous pixel readout between sensors in a module. This SO enters as the SI clock of the second and subsequent sensors; hence all subsequent sensors will start their register scan after each of the preceding sensors completes its scan. 3.4 Power Saving Each sensor incorporates a power-saving feature when multiple sensors are cascaded together to form a linear imaging array. When a particular sensor is selected to be read out, the SIC on each sensor selects a unique feature of powering up that sensor’s output amplifier and powering it down when not selected. 3.5 Common Reference Voltage between Cascaded Sensors Each sensor has an input/output bias control (VREF), which serves as an offset voltage reference. Each bias control pad is connected to an internal bias source and tied to its own amplifier’s reference bias input. In operation, these pads on every sensor are connected together. Each sensor then “shares” the same bias level to maintain a constant bias among all of the sensors. 3.6 Selectable Resolutions of 2400dpi, 1200dpi, 600dpi, 300dpi The sensor allows for four selectable resolutions; 2400dpi, 1200dpi, 600dpi, and 300dpi, which are controlled by the select resolution 1 and 2 inputs, (SR1, SR2). The following truth details the conditions of the SR1 and SR2 inputs in order to select each resolution, where low represents the input is connected to ground and a high represents the input connected to Vdd. AMI Semiconductor – Jan. 06, M-20499-004 www.amis.com 2 AMIS-722402: Contact Image Sensor Data Sheet In the 2400dpi mode, all 1376 pixels are clocked out, whereas in the 1200dpi mode, Pixels 1 and 2 are combined, 3 and 4 are combined and so on up to Pixels 1375 and 1376 being combined. One half of the pixel amplifiers and one half of the scanning registers are then disabled. As a result, sensitivity in the 1200dpi mode will be twice that of the 2400dpi mode and the 1200dpi readout time will be approximately half of the 2400dpi readout time. Similarly, in the 600dpi mode, Pixels 1-4 are combined, Pixels 5-8 are combined and so on up to Pixels 1373-1376 being combined. Only one quarter of the pixel amplifiers and shift registers are then used. The 600dpi sensitivity will be four times that of the 2400dpi, and the readout time will be one quarter of the 2400dpi readout time. In the 300dpi mode, Pixels 1-8 are combined, Pixels 9-16 are combined and so on up to Pixels 1369-1376 being combined. Only one eighth of the pixel amplifiers and shift registers are then used. The 300dpi sensitivity will be eight times that of the 2400dpi, and the readout time will be one eighth of the 2400dpi readout time. Unlike a CCD array, all of the 2400dpi, 1200dpi, 600dpi, and 300dpi arrays can operate with the same clock frequency.

The average output voltage Vpavg, which is defined as the voltage difference between the average pixel level in the light and the average pixel level in the dark, will be adjusted to approximately 1.0V, unless stated otherwise. A linear array of uniform green LED’s will be used as the light source for measurements requiring illumination, unless stated otherwise. As a guideline, the recommended load on the output should be 1KΩ<RL<10kΩ. All measurements will be taken with a 2kΩ load on the output. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Selectable resolutions. The sensor allows for four selectable resolutions; 2400dpi, 1200dpi, 600dpi, and 300dpi, which are controlled by the SR1 and SR2 inputs. Table 1 details how each resolution mode is selected. In the 2400dpi mode, all 1376 pixels are clocked out, whereas in the 1200dpi mode, Pixels 1 and 2 are combined, 3 and 4 are combined and so on up to Pixels 1375 and 1376 being combined. One half of the pixel amplifiers and one half of the scanning register are then disabled. As a result, sensitivity in the 1200dpi mode will be twice that of the 2400dpi mode and the 1200dpi readout time will be approximately half of the 2400dpi readout time. Similarly, in the 600dpi mode, Pixels 1-4 are combined, Pixels 5-8 are combined and so on up to Pixels 1373-1376 being combined. Only one quarter of the pixel amplifiers and shift registers are then used. The 600dpi sensitivity will be four times that of the 2400dpi, and the readout time will be one quarter of the 2400dpi readout time. In the 300dpi mode, Pixels 1-8 are combined, Pixels 9-16 are combined and so on up to Pixels 1369-1376 being combined. Only one eighth of the pixel amplifiers and shift registers are then used. The 300dpi sensitivity will be eight times that of the 2400dpi, and the readout time will be one eighth of the 2400dpi readout time. Dark output voltage (Vd). Vd is the average dark output level and is essentially the offset level of the video output in the dark. The dark level is set by the voltage on VREF and is recommended to be set externally to a voltage of 0.35V for optimal module operation. Dark output non-uniformity (Ud). Ud = Vdmax-Vdmin, where Vdmax is the maximum pixel output voltage in the dark and Vdmin is the minimum pixel output voltage in the dark. Photo-response non-uniformity (Up). Up = ((Vpmax-Vpavg)/Vpavg) x 100% or ((Vpavg-Vpmin)/Vpavg) x 100%, whichever is the greater, where Vpmax is the maximum pixel output voltage in the light, Vpmin is the minimum pixel output voltage in the light and Vpavg is average output voltage of all pixels in the light. Adjacent photo-response non-uniformity (Upn). Upn = Max ((Vpn, Vpn+1) / Min (Vpn, Vpn+1)) x 100%, where Vpn is the pixel output voltage of pixel n in the light. Sensor-to-sensor photo-response non-uniformity (Usensor). Usensor = (Vpavg - Wavg) / Wavg), where Wavg is the average output of all sensors on the same wafer that pass all other specifications. Saturation voltage (VSat) is defined as the maximum video output voltage swing measured from the dark level to the saturation level. It is measured by using the module LED light source with the module imaging a uniform white target. The LED light level is increased until the output voltage no longer increases with an increase in the LED brightness. The dark level is set by the voltage on VREF and is recommended to be set externally to a voltage of 0.35V for optimal module operation. Sensitivity (Sv) is defined as the slope of the Vpavg vs. Exposure curve. Photo-response linearity (PRL). Photo-response linearity is defined as the max. deviation of response compared to a best fit line as a percentage of full scale, where full scale is the maximum value of the linearity range of operation; approx 0.75V. Photo-response linearity is specified within the linearity range of operation, approx 0.1-0.75V. Individual pixel noise in rms (P_noise). The individual pixel noise in rms is defined as the standard deviation of each pixel in the dark. The maximum of all pixel standard deviations is the maximum individual pixel noise in rms. This can also be thought of as output referred noise as it is measured at the sensor output. Average pixel noise in rms (Pavg_noise). The average pixel noise in rms is defined as the average of all pixel standard deviations in the dark. A 2.5mV rms value has a peak-peak equivalent of 15mV. This can also be thought of as output referred noise as it is measured at the sensor output. Row noise in rms (Row_noise) Each chip is binned into four equal bins and the row noise in rms is defined as the standard deviation of each bin. The row noise specification does not include any noise due to external sources.

The dark level is set by the voltage on VREF and is recommended to be set externally to a voltage of 0.35V for optimal module operation. Although the device will operate with a pixel rate of less than 500kHz, it is recommended that the device be operated above 500kHz to maintain performance characteristics. Operating below 500kHz may result in leakage current degradation. One pixel is clocked out for every clock cycle. Tint is the integration time of a single sensor and is the time between two SIs. The minimum integration time is the time it takes to clock out 75 inactive pixels and 1376 active pixels for the 2400dpi mode, 75 inactive pixels and 688 active pixels for the 1200dpi mode, 75 inactive pixels and 344 active pixels for 600dpi mode, 75 inactive pixels and 172 active pixels for 300dpi mode, at a given frequency. However, if several sensors are cascaded together in a module then the minimum integration time for the 2400dpi mode is the time it takes to clock out 75 inactive pixels and 1376 active pixels from the first sensor and 1376 pixels from each of all subsequent sensors, at a given frequency. For cascaded sensors in the 1200dpi mode, the minimum integration time is the time it takes to clock out 75 inactive pixels and 688 active pixels from the sensor and 688 pixels from each of all subsequent sensors, at a given frequency. 6. Similarly, for cascaded sensors in the 300dpi mode, the minimum integration time is the time it takes to clock out 75 inactive pixels and 172 active pixels from the first sensor and 172 pixels from each of all subsequent sensors, at a given frequency. The clock duty cycle is defined as the ration of the positive duration of the clock to its period. 7.0 Absolute Maximum Ratings Table 5 lists the absolute maximum ratings.

This would occur if the GBST remains high during two fallings edges of the CLK signal. See Figure 8. SI starts the register scanning and the first active pixel is read out on the 76th clock of the CLK signal. However, when multiple sensors are sequentially scanned, as in CIS modules, the SO from the predecessor sensor becomes the SI to the subsequent sensor, hence the SI clock = the SO clock. As discussed under the third unique feature, the GBST starts the initialization process and preprocesses all sensors simultaneously in the first 75 clock cycles before the first pixel is scanned onto the video line from the first sensor. The transition between pixels does not always reach the dark offset level as shown in the timing diagrams, see Vout. The timing diagrams show the transition doing so for illustration purposes; however a stable pixel sampling point does exist for every pixel. The pixel rise time is defined as the time from when the CLK’s rising edge has reached 50 percent of its maximum amplitude to the point when a pixel has reached 90 percent of its maximum amplitude. The pixel fall time is defined as the time from when the CLK’s falling edge has reached 50 percent of its maximum amplitude to the point when a pixel has reached 10 percent of its maximum amplitude. Figures 4, 5, 6, and 7 show the initialization of the first sensor in relation to its subsequent cascaded sensors for all four resolution modes. The SIC selects the first sensor to operate with 75 clock cycles of delay by connecting it to Vdd on the first sensor and to Ground for all of the subsequent sensors. Hence the first sensor will operate with 75 inactive pixels being clocked out before its first active pixel is clocked out.

The SO from the first sensor enters as the SI clock of the second and subsequent sensors; hence all subsequent sensors will start their register scan after each of the preceding sensors completes its scan. The last active pixel of each sensor is the 1376th pixel for the 2400dpi mode, the 688th pixel for the 1200dpi mode, 344th pixel for the nd 600dpi mode, and 172 pixel for the 300dpi mode. 1st CLK of second sensor CLK 1441 1442 1443 1444 1445 1450 1451 1 2 CLK numbers include timing for 75 inactive pixels and 1376 active pixels SI / SO Vout 1367 1368 1369 1370 1376 1375 1 2 Pixel 1 of second sensor Last active pixel = pixel 1376 Figure 10: Timing of SI/SO Clock for the 2400dpi Mode 1st CLK of second sensor CLK 753 754 755 756 757 762 763 1 687 688 1 2 CLK numbers include timing for 75 inactive pixels and 688 active pixels SI / SO Vout 679 680 681 682 Last active pixel = pixel 688 Figure 11: Timing of SI/SO Clock for the 1200dpi Mode AMI Semiconductor – Jan. 06, M-20499-004 www.amis.com 12 2 Pixel 1 of second sensor AMIS-722402: Contact Image Sensor Data Sheet 1st CLK of second sensor CLK 409 410 411 412 413 418 419 2 1 CLK numbers include timing for 75 inactive pixels and 344 active pixels SI / SO Vout 335 336 337 338 343 344 1 2 Pixel 1 of second sensor Last active pixel = pixel 344 Figure 12: Timing of SI/SO Clock for the 600dpi Mode 1st CLK of second sensor CLK 237 238 239 240 241 246 247 1 171 172 1 2 CLK numbers include timing for 75 inactive pixels and 172 active pixels SI / SO Vout 163 164 165 166 Last active pixel = pixel 172 Figure 13: Timing of SI/SO Clock for the 300dpi Mode AMI Semiconductor – Jan. 06, M-20499-004 www.amis.com 13 2 Pixel 1 of second sensor AMIS-722402: Contact Image Sensor Data Sheet 9.0 Example of a CIS Module Using Cascaded AMIS-722402 Image Sensors Figure 14 shows the proposed PCB schematic of the 15 chip CIS module.
