General Description

The PI321MC-A6 is a contact imaging sensor, CIS, module, which is composed of 13

PI3011A sensor chips. The PI3011A is a 300 DPI solid-state line imaging array, also a

product of Peripheral Imaging Corporation. This imaging device is fabricated using MOS

imaging sensor technology for high-speed performance and high sensitivity. The

PI321MC-A6 is suitable for scanning A6 size (104 mm) documents with 11.8 dots per

millimeter resolution. Applications include ticket, check and card scanners, variety of mark

readers, and other automation equipment.

Functional Description

The PI321MC-A6 imaging array consists of 13 sensors that are cascaded to provide 1248

photo-detectors with their associated multiplex switches, and a digital shift register that

controls its sequential readout. Mounted in the module is one-to-one graded indexed
