Description
The TSL210 linear sensor array consists of five
sections of 128 photodiodes, each with
associated charge amplifier circuitry , running from
a common clock. These sections can be
connected to form a contiguous 640 × 1 pixel
array. Device pixels measure 120 µm (H) by
70 µm (W) with 125-µm center-to-center pixel
spacing. Operation is simplified by internal logic
that requires only a serial input (SI1 through SI5)
for each section and a common clock for the five
sections.
The device is intended for use in a wide variety of
applications including contact imaging, mark and
code reading, bar-code reading, edge detection
and positioning, OCR, level detection, and linear
and rotational encoding.

Detailed Description
The device consists of five sections of 128 photodiodes (called pixels — 640 total in the device) arranged in a
linear array. Each section has its own signal input and output lines, and all five sections are connected to a
common clock line. Light energy impinging on a pixel generates photocurrent that is then integrated by the active
integration circuitry associated with that pixel.
During the integration period, a sampling capacitor connects to the output of the integrator through an analog
switch. The amount of charge accumulated at each pixel is directly proportional to the light intensity on that pixel
and the integration time. The voltage output developed for each pixel is according to the following relationship:

The output and reset of the integrators in each section are controlled by a 128-bit shift register and reset logic.
An output cycle is initiated by clocking in a logic 1 on SI. As the SI pulse is clocked through the shift register,
the charge stored on the sampling capacitors of each pixel is sequentially connected to a charge-coupled output
amplifier that generates a voltage on analog output AO (given above). After being read, the pixel integrator is
then reset, and the next integration period begins for that pixel. On the 129th clock rising edge, the SO pulse
is clocked out on SO signifying the end of the read cycle. The section is then ready for another read cycle. The
SO of each section can be connected to SI on the next section in the array (Figure 4). SO can be used to signify
the read is complete.
AO is driven by a source follower that requires an external pulldown resistor (330-Ω typical). The output is
nominally 0 V for no light input, 2 V for normal white-level, and 3.4 V for saturation light level. When the device
is not in the output phase, AO is in a high impedance state.
A 0.1 µF bypass capacitor should be connected between VDD and ground as close as possible to the device.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under “Recommended Operating Conditions” is not
implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

NOTES: 2. The array is uniformly illuminated with a diffused LED source having a peak wavelength of 640 nm.
3. Clock duty cycle is assumed to be 50%.
4. PRNU is the maximum difference between the voltage from any single pixel and the average output voltage from all pixels of the
device under test when the array is uniformly illuminated.
5. Nonlinearity is defined as the maximum deviation from a best-fit straight line over the dark-to-white irradiance levels, as a percent
of analog output voltage (white).
6. RMS noise is the standard deviation of a single-pixel output under constant illumination as observed over a 5-second period.

8. DSNU is the difference between the maximum and minimum output voltage in the absence of illumination.
9. Image lag is a residual signal left in a pixel from a previous exposure. It is defined as a percent of white-level signal remaining after
a pixel is exposed to a white condition followed by a dark condition:
