General Description
(continued from page 1)
As the SI pulse is clocked through the shift register,
the charge stored on the sampling capacitors is
sequentially connected to a charge-coupled output
amplifier that generates a voltage on analog output
AO. Two dummy pixel values are shifted out first,
then the 128 actual pixel bits, followed by two
additional dummy pixel bits, for a total of 132 data
bits.
The integrator reset period ends 18 clock cycles after
the SI pulse is clocked in. So the light-integration
starts after the 18th CLK pulse.
The light-integration ends at the next SI pulse.
Between the end of the 132nd clock pulse and the
next SI pulse, a minimum time of 10Sec is
necessary for an effective S&H function.
So the minimum integration time of the MLX90255BA
is (132-18) * Ts +10s and thus dependent on clock
speed. (Ts = clock period)
After the 132 data bits are clocked out, the output
becomes high impedance. (see figure)
The AO is driven by a source follower that requires
an external pulldown res istor. (typically 330
) The
output is nominally 125mV for no light input and 2.4V
for a nominal full-scale output. The pixel gain is 15%
bigger at the edges than in the middle (cosine
correction) in order to get a flat output when
illuminating the device with a single LED light source.
The MLX90255 is intended for use in a wide variety
of applications, including: image scanning, m ark and
code reading, optical character recognition (OCR)
and contact imaging, edge detection and positioning,
and
optical
linear
and
rotary
encoding.
The
MLX90255
is
a
replacement
for
the
Texas
Instruments' TSL1301 and TSL1401 parts.
Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maxi-
mum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the
device.
These are stress ratings only, and functional opera-
tion of the device at these or any other conditions
beyond those indicated under "recommended oper-
ating conditions" is not implied.
Exposure to absolute-maximum -rated conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability.
