Contact Image Sensor Modules

M118 CIS Module Series

Overview:

Our 200 / 400 dpi contact image sensors come in a wide variety of designs and sizes from 312 mm to as small as 24 mm scanning length. The M118 series of modules are based on our dual resolution 200/400 dpi C118 silicon. The standard modules are available in aluminum or plastic, 1 to 3 video outputs, the devices can be configured to meet your specific requirements.

Specifications:

Sensitivity
High speed: up to 8MHz pixel rate
150 V/Lux-Sec @ 400 dpi
300 V/Lux-Sec @ 200 dpi
200 / 400dpi user selectable resolution
62.5 µm pixel center to center spacing
On chip OP amp
Low fixed pattern noise
5 V or 3.3 V power supply
5 V or 3.3 V input signal interface

Timing:

The timing diagram below indicates a device with three video outputs. The device can be fully scanned in 1,190 clock cycles (38 inactive clock cycles plus 1152 clock cycles) to clock out the video.

In the example below, some amount of overscan can be seen. Since this device uses a global shutter, the overscan period will expose the sensor elements for the next readout cycle.

Illumination:

A wide variety of illumination techniques and spectrum are available on all of our devices. Custom illumination available upon request.

Timing:

The timing diagram below indicates a device with a single video output. The device can be fully scanned in 2,630 clock cycles (38 inactive clock cycles plus 2,592 clock cycles) for the video signal.

In the example below, some amount of overscan can be seen. Since this device uses a global shutter, the overscan period will expose the sensor elements for the next readout cycle.
