Toshiba Launches Lens Reduction Type, 5340-Pixel by 3-line Linear Image Sensor for Office Automation and Industrial Equipment

TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Toshiba
Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation
(“Toshiba”) today
launched “TCD2569BFG,” a lens reduction type, 5340-pixel by 3-line color
CCD linear image sensor for office automation and industrial equipment
that realizes 24 lines per millimeter resolution for an A4-size
document. Mass production shipments start today.

More and more users want A4-size multifunction printers that can deliver
the same high image quality and high speed operation as A3-size models,
especially for scanning objects other than documents, three-dimensional
objects with very high reflectance and shiny objects. Scanning these
objects with conventional lens reduction type CCD linear image sensors
often results in blooming of the sensor and horizontally streaked
images—and the output signal voltage of the sensor in the blooming area
often exceeds the maximum input voltage range of the analog front-end IC.

“TCD2569BFG” offers high image quality with less color registration by
reducing the spacing between pixel arrays (red-green, green-blue). A
built-in sample and hold circuit lengthens the video output signal
period of the sensor and contributes to easier design of high speed
scanners for use in office automation equipment and industrial
equipment. On top of this, 4-volt saturation output voltage in the CCD
shift register reduces blooming. Installing a clipping function ensures
the output signal voltage is held below 1.8 volts, which prevents output
signal voltage from exceeding the maximum input voltage range of the
analog front-end IC.

Key Features

  • 2-line spacing between pixel arrays (red-green, green-blue)
  • Longer video output signal period with built-in sample and hold circuit
  • Maximum output signal voltage of 1.8 volts with clipping function

Application Examples
A4-size multifunction printers, image
scanners, input devices for measuring equipment and color sorting machine
