200 - 400 DPI Contact Image Sensor

Our 200-400 dpi sensors come in a wide variety of designs and sizes from 304 mm to as small as 12 mm scanning length.   The M218 series of modules is based on our dual resolution 200/400 dpi C118 silicon.  Available in aluminum or plastic, 1 to 4 video outputs, the devices can be configured to meet your specific requirements

C118 Timing

The timing diagram below, indicates a device with a three video outputs.  In the example below the device can be fully scanned in 1190 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 peroid will expose the sensor elements for next readout cycle.

Illumination

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