Document Scanning Sensor Technology

Our M206-A3C CIS is specifically optimized for flat bed scanner applications. This module uses our exceptionally sensitive C206 silicon, with sensitivity of over 300 volts/lux second.   This sensitivity is enabled by a 2,500 sq micron of sensor area for every pixel. The M206-A3C is over 12 inches long, with over 7,200 pixels. Thus, your 36 inch scanner will only require 3 sensors.

 

Coupled with the C206 silicon is a unique illumination system that provides up to 50 times greater illumination than other approaches.  Our lighting reduces shading, a problem that can occur on documents which have crease marks or even slight wrinkles. Dual light sources provide illumination at -45 and +45 degrees nearly eliminating shading errors. 

 

Proper lighting ensures high signal to noise ratio, excellent dynamic range, and a line rate of 300 µsec/line/color.
