CMOS linear image sensor

25 June 2014 Opto-Electronics

New from Hamamatsu Photonics is the S11639 CMOS linear image sensor with APS (active pixel sensor) technology.

APS technology allows the device to achieve a combination of a very high sensitivity, at 1300 V/(lx·s), and a high-speed video data rate of 10 MHz. This is accomplished by simultaneously integrating charge for all pixels.

The sensor offers direct UV sensitivity with a spectral response range from 200 nm to 1000 nm. Direct UV sensitivity removes the costly and inefficient requirement to coat sensors for an enhanced UV response. The S11639 also features an electronic shutter function and a built-in timing generator, allowing operation with only start and clock pulse inputs.

The device features a long effective active area of 28,672 mm consisting of 2048 pixels, each of which measures 14 μm by 200 μm. It offers very simple operation and only requires a single 5 V power supply to operate.

The S11639 is well suited for various low-cost but high-precision, high-speed applications, particularly in the UV region, including spectrometers, position detection, encoders, image reading, barcode readers and more.
