The new TSL1301 300-dpi CMOS linear sensor array offers high sensitivity for faster scan rates, lower-cost illumination and higher signal-to-noise ratio in a wide variety of scanner applications. With low noise, low pixel response non-uniformity (PRNU) and low non-linearity, the TSL1301 is sufficient for 256 gray-scale (8-bit) operation. The 102-pixel device features very low image lag, 2-MHz operation, supply operation and synchronous integration to minimize image skewing. Associated charge amplifier circuitry and a pixel data hold function provide simultaneous integration start and stop times for all pixels.

TSL1301 features

• Low non-linearity error for 256 gray-scale operation
  
• 2-MHz operation increases throughput
  
• Applications include:
  
  • Mark and code reading
    
  • OCR and contact imaging
    
  • Edge detection and positioning
    
  • Optical encoding
