Built-in timing generator and signal processing circuit; single 5 V supply operation

S8377/S8378 series is a family of CMOS linear image sensors designed for image input applications. These linear image sensors operate from single 5 V supply with only start and clock pulse inputs, making them easy to use. The signal processing circuit has a charge amplifier with excellent input/output characteristics and allows signal readout at 500 kHz.
The photodiodes of S8377 series have a height of 0.5 mm and are arrayed in a row at a spacing of 50 µm. The photodiodes of S8378 series also have a height of 0.5 mm but are arrayed at a spacing of 25 µm. The photodiodes are available in 3 different pixel quantities for each series: 128 (S8377-128Q), 256 (S8377-256Q, S8378-256Q), 512 (S8377-512Q, S8378-512Q) and 1024 (S8378-1024Q). Quartz glass is the standard window material.
