Description:
Peripheral Imaging Corporation PI3041A CIS, Contact Image Sensor, chip is a 300 dot per inch resolution, linear array image sensor chip. The sensor chip is processed using a CMOS Image Sensing Technology, a possession of ISPL (Image Sensor Product Line) group within AMIS. Designed for cascading multiple chips in a series, the image sensor chips, uses a chipon-board process. They are bonded end-to-end on a printed circuit board (PCB). This bonding process allows the CIS module manufacturers to produce variable CIS module lengths in increments of the chip array lengths. Hence, the modules are easily applied in a large number of document scanners, found in today’s facsimile market. Examples are wide format maps and architectural drawings scanners down to the narrow width scanners, such as, those found in check readers, lotto tickets, entrance gates tickets, etc. This is not to exclude the many office automation equipments, which require an even more variety in scanning widths, as well as, those with special mechanically configurations.
