TSL1401CL Linear Image Sensor

The TSL1401CL linear sensor array consists of an 128 × 1 array of photodiodes, associated charge amplifier circuitry, and an internal pixel data-hold function that provides simultaneous integration start and stop times for all pixels. The array is made up of 128 pixels, each of which has a photo-sensitive area of 3524.3 square micrometers. There is 8-μm spacing between pixels. Operation is simplified by internal control logic that requires only a serial-input signal and a clock. Power and digital signals are 3.3V - 5V input.

NSF Relevance

This molecule offers a high-resolution linear photodiode array ideal for scanning applications where precise, distortion-free measurement is critical, such as quality control on production lines, barcode or document scanning, and industrial inspection. By capturing data with simultaneous integration across all pixels, it eliminates perspective and lens distortion common in traditional camera-based computer vision systems, providing more accurate and repeatable results for automated sensing and analysis.
