Description
The TSL202R linear sensor array consists of two sections of 64 photodiodes and associated charge amplifier
circuitry arranged to form a contiguous 128
×
1 array. The pixels measure 120
µ
m (H) by 70
µ
m (W) with 125-
µ
m
center-to-center spacing and 55-
µ
m spacing between pixels. Operation is simplified by internal control logic that
requires only a serial-input (SI) signal and a clock.
The TSL202R 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.

Detailed Description
The sensor consists of 128 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 a 128-bit shift register and reset logic. An output cycle
is initiated by clocking in a logic 1 on SI for one positive going clock edge (see Figures1 and 2)
. As the SI pulse
is clocked through the 128-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 129th clock rising edge, the SI pulse is clocked out of the shift register
and the output assumes a high-impedance state. Note that this 129th clock pulse is required to terminate the
output of the 128th pixel and return the internal logic to a known state. A subsequent SI pulse can be presented
as early as the 130th clock pulse, thereby initiating another pixel output cycle.
The voltage developed at analog output (AO) is given by:
V
out
= V
drk
+ (R
e
) (E
e
) (t
int
)
where:
V
out
is the analog output voltage for white condition
V
drk
is the analog output voltage for dark condition
R
e
is the device responsivity for a given wavelength of light given in V/(
µ
J/cm
2
)
E
e
is the incident irradiance in
µ
W/cm
2
t
int
is integration time in seconds
AO is driven by a source follower that requires an external pulldown resistor (330-
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
µ
F bypass capacitor should be connected between V
DD
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.

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: 1. The array is uniformly illuminated with a diffused LED source having a peak wavelength of 640 nm.
2. 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 at the white irradiance level. PRNU includes DSNU.
3. 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).
4. RMS noise is the standard deviation of a single-pixel output under constant illumination as observed over a 5-second period.
5. Minimum saturation exposure is calculated using the minimum V
sat
, the maximum V
drk
, and the maximum R
e
.
6. DSNU is the difference between the maximum and minimum output voltage in the absence of illumination.
7. 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:
