DESCRIPTION
iC-LFL1402 is an integrating light-to-voltage con-
verter with a single line of 256 pixels pitched at
63.5 µm (center-to-center distance). Due to the
monolithical integration there is no pixel-gap or pitch
distortion whatsoever. Each pixel consists of a
56.4 µm x 200 µm photodiode, an integration capaci-
tor and a sample and hold circuit.
The integrated control logic makes operation very
simple, with only a start and clock signal necessary.
A third control input enables the integration period
to be prematurely terminated at any time (electronic
shutter).
When the start signal is given the hold mode is acti-
vated for all pixels simultaneously with the next rising
clock edge; starting with pixel 1 the hold voltages are
switched in sequence to the push-pull output ampli-
fier. The second clock pulse deletes all integration
capacitors and the integration period starts again in
the background during the output phase. A run is
complete after 256 clock pulses.
iC-LFL1402 is suitable for high clock rates of up to
5 MHz. If this is not required the supply current can
be reduced via the external bias setting.
