Overview: .. IMAGE SENSOR Driver circuit for NMOS linear image sensor C7883 series High-speed driver circuit for current-output type NMOS linear image sensor C7883 C7883 series is a driver circuit specifically designed for the Hamamatsu current-output type NMOS linear image sensors (S3901 to S3904 series, S8380/S8381 series). NMOS linear image sensors are self-scanning photodiode arrays integrated with a scanning circuit of N-channel MOS transistors. C7883 series supplies start pulses and 2-phase clock pulses necessary for image sensor operation. C7883 series also includes a signal processing circuit to read out video signals from an image sensor in the current-to-voltage conversion mode. C7883 series operates by input of a master start pulse, master clock pulse and connection to a power supply (+12 V or +15 V). C7883-20 is multichannel detector head incorporating driver circuit (C7883) developed for Hamamatsu NMOS linear image sensor. C7883-20 is designed especially for pactness, having an overall length as short as 40 mm or less. The housing case also provides a shielding effect against external noise.
