300 - 600 DPI Contact Image Sensor

Our 300-600 dpi modules are available in sizes from 216mm to 24mm.   The M116 series of modules is based on our dual resolution 300/600 dpi C116 silicon.  Available in aluminum or plastic, 1 or 3 video outputs, the devices can be configured to meet your specific requirements

C116 Timing

The timing diagram below indicates a device with a single video output.  In the example below the device can be fully scanned in 38 inactive clock cycles plus 2592 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 next readout cycle.
The diagram below is the same device except that the user has selected 300 dpi resolution mode. In this case, it will require 38 + 1296 clock cycles to read the sensor fully.

Illumination

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