Description
The TSL2014 linear sensor array consists of two
sections of 448 photodiodes and associated charge
amplifier circuitry that can be connected to form a
contiguous 896 × 1 array. The pixels measure 120 µm
(H) by 70 µm (W) with 125-µm center-to-center spacing
and 55-µm spacing between pixels. Operation is
simplified by internal control logic that requires only a
serial-input (SI) signal and a clock.
The TSL2014 is intended for use in a wide variety of
applications including mark detection and code
reading, optical character recognition (OCR) and
contact imaging, edge detection and positioning as well
as optical linear and rotary encoding.

I/O DESCRIPTION
Serial output (section 1). SO1 signals the end of the data out sequence and provides a signal to drive the input
of section 2 (SI2) in serial mode.
Serial output (section 2). SO2 signals the end of the data out sequence and provides a signal to drive the input
of another device for cascading.
Detailed Description
The sensor consists of 896 photodiodes arranged in a linear array. Light energy impinging on a photodiode
generates photocurrent, which is 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 and the integration
time. The integration time is the interval between two consecutive output periods.
The output and reset of the integrators is controlled by two 448-bit shift registers and reset logic. A 448-pixel
output cycle is initiated by clocking in a logic 1 into the SI input of a section for one positive going clock edge
(see Figures1 and 2)†. The two 448-pixel sections may be operated independently using a single clock input
or connected in series to form a 896-pixel array. Each section has an independent output (AO), which may be
connected together for the 896-pixel function.
When operating in the 896-pixel mode, as the SI pulse is clocked through the 896-bit shift register, the charge
on the sampling capacitor of each pixel is sequentially connected to a charge-coupled output amplifier that
generates a voltage output, AO. When the bit position goes low, the pixel integrator is reset. On the 897th clock
rising edge, the SI pulse is clocked out of the shift register (S2) and the output assumes a high-impedance state.
Note that this 897th clock pulse is required to terminate the output of the 896th pixel and return the internal logic
to a known state. A subsequent SI pulse can be presented as early as the 898th clock pulse, thereby initiating
another pixel output cycle.
The voltage developed at analog output (AO) is given by:

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.
†
For proper operation, after meeting the minimum hold time condition, SI must go low before the next rising edge of the clock.
