IMAGE SENSOR NMOS linear image sensor S3901-1024Q, S3904-2048Q Large active area type with 51.2 mm detection length NMOS linear image sensors are self-scanning photodiode arrays designed specifically as detectors for multichannel spectroscopy. The scanning circuit is made up of N-channel MOS transistors, operates at low power consumption and is easy to handle. Each photodiode has a large active area, high UV sensitivity yet very low noise, delivering a high S/N even at low light levels. The current output type NMOS linear image sensors also feature excellent output linearity and wide dynamic range. S3901-1024Q uses photodiodes with a height of 2.5 mm, arrayed at a spacing of 50 m. S3904-2048Q has photodiodes with a height of 2.5 mm, arrayed at a spacing of 25 m. The photodiode arrays are available in 2 different pixel quantities, 1024 (S3901-1024Q) and 2048 (S3904-2048Q). Quartz glass is the standard window material.

The video data rate is equal to the clock pulse frequency since the video output signal is obtained synchronously with the rise of 2 pulse. Pulse for starting the MOS shift register operation. The time interval between start pulses is equal to the signal accumulation time. Connected to the anode of each photodiode. This should be grounded. Used for restricting blooming. This should be grounded. Used for restricting blooming. This should be biased at a voltage equal to the video bias voltage. Video output signal. Connects to photodiode cathodes when the address is on. A positive voltage should be applied to the video line in order to use photodiodes with a reverse voltage. When the amplitude of 1 and 2 is 5 V, a video bias voltage of 2 V is recommended. This has the same structure as the active video, but is not connected to photodiodes, so only spike noise is output. This should be biased at a voltage equal to the active video or left as an open-circuit when not needed. Connected to the silicon substrate. This should be grounded. This should be pulled up at 5 V by using a 10 k resistor. This is a negative going pulse that appears synchronously with the 2 timing right after the last photodiode is addressed. Should be grounded. 3 NMOS linear image sensor S3901-1024Q, S3904-2048Q Figure 6 Output charge vs. exposure Figure 5 Spectral response (typical example) (Ta=25 C) 0.3 (Typ.
