IC-LFS 32x1 linear image sensor rev a1, page 2/ 9 description IC-LFS is an integrating light-to-voltage converter with a single line of 32 pixels pitched at 63.5 m (center-to-center distance). each pixel consists of a 56.4 m x 200 m photodiode, an integration capaci- tor and a sample and hold circuit. the integrated control logic makes operation very simple, with only a start and clock signal necessary. a third control input enables the integration period to be paused at any time (electronic shutter). with the start signal the hold mode is activated for all pixels simultaneously with the next rising clock edge; starting with pixel 1 the hold voltages are switched in sequence to the push-pull output ampli?er. the sec- ond clock pulse deletes all integration capacitors and the integration period starts again in the background during the output phase. a run is complete after 32 clock pulses. IC-LFS is suitable for high clock rates of up to 5 mhz. if this is not required the supply current can be re- duced via the external bias setting. packages cdfn10 4 mm x 4 mm pin configuration cdfn10 4 mm x 4 mm pin functions no. name function 1 si start integration input 2 clk clock input 3 ao analogue output 4 vdd +5 v digital supply voltage 5 vcc +5 v analogue supply voltage 6 rset bias current (resistor from vcc to rset; when connected to gnd the in- ternal bias setting is activated) 7 n.c. 8 agnd analogue ground 9 gnd digital ground 10 dis shutter control 5 2 1 34 7 86 9 10 p r e l i m i n a r y p r e l i m i n a r y

IC-LFS 32x1 linear image sensor rev a1, page 6/ 9 description of functions normal operation following an internal power-on reset the integration and hold capacitors are discharged and the sample and hold circuit is set to sample mode. a high signal at si and a rising edge at clk triggers a readout cycle and with it a new integration cycle. in this process the hold capacitors of pixels 1 to 31 are switched to hold mode immediately (snh = 1), with pixel 32 (snh32 = 1) following suit one clock pulse later. this special procedure allows all pixels to be read out with just 32 clock pulses. the integration ca- pacitors are discharged by a one clock long reset sig- nal (nrci = 0) which occurs between the 2 nd and 3 rd falling edge of the readout clock pulse (cf. figure 4). after the 31 pixels have been read out these are again set to sample mode (snh = 0), likewise for pixel 32 one clock pulse later (snh32 = 0). figure 4: readout cycle and integration sequence if prior to the 32 th clock pulse a high signal occurs at si the present readout is halted and immediately reinitiated with pixel 1. in this instance the hold ca- pacitors retain their old value i.e. hold mode prevails (snh/snh32 = 0). figure 5: restarting a readout cycle with more than 32 clock pulses until the next si signal, pixel 1 is output without entering hold mode; the out- put voltage tracks the voltage of the pixel 1 integration capacitor. snh snh32 nrci integration time pixel 1?31 integration time pixel 32 pix32 pix31 ... pix31 pix32 pix30 31 pix1 1 32 3 v(ao) clk si pix2 pix3 30 1 2 31 32 2 4 ... pix1 pix2 pix3 30 1 32 5 1 pix4 pix5 2 3 pix2 4 pix32 2 pix1 ... ... snh snh32 nrci 2 4 pix4 pix3 31 pix31 pix32 pix30 pix1 pix1 1 32 3 v(ao) clk si p r e l i m i n a r y p r e l i m i n a r y
IC-LFS 32x1 linear image sensor rev a1, page 7/ 9 figure 6: clock pulse continued without giving a new integration start signal operation with the shutter function integration can be halted at any time via pin dis, i.e. the photodiodes are disconnected from their corre- sponding integration capacitor when dis is high and the current integration capacitor voltages are main- tained. if this pin is open or switched to gnd the pixel photocurrents are summed up by the integration ca- pacitors until the next successive si signal follows. figure 7: de?ning the integration time via shutter input dis external bias current setting in order to reduce the power consumption of the device an external reference current can be supplied to pin rset which reduces the maximum readout frequency, however. to this end a resistor must be connected from vcc to rset. if this pin is not used, it should be connected to gnd. pix sample?c 5 6 dis integration integration disabled disabled integration enabled snh 1 nrci 2 ... 1 4 si clk 3 32 31 snh snh32 nrci integration time 35 pix32 pix31 ... pix31 pix32 pix30 31 pix1 1 32 3 v(ao) clk si pix2 pix3 30 33 34 31 32 2 4 ... pix1 p r e l i m i n a r y p r e l i m i n a r y
