Canon CIS 36-Bit Color Single Line Scanner PDF User Manual


The XRD9827REF is a demo system which includes a PCB design with a CANON CVA-60216K 600DPI Color Contact Image Sensor (CIS). It demonstrates how to interface a CIS with EXAR’s XRD9827, a 12-bit Linear CIS/CCD Sensor Signal Processor to output a single line scan and display the amplitude of each of the three colors. The XRD9827REF is designed to provide a signal path for the CIS output signals to be processed, digitized by the XRD9827 and transmitted to a personal computer. There are no software algorithms or hardware implementations, for example, gamma correction, to adjust for color response. The XRD9827REF board is loaded with the XRD9827, a Vantis MACH435 CPLD, two FIFO SRAMs and peripheral circuits for the CIS. The MACH435, which is a CMOS Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) provides timing signals to the XRD9827, the SRAMs and the CIS. It also programs the XRD9827 to operate in the correct mode and adjust for gain and offset values. The XRD9827 processes the analog output from the CIS sensor, level-shifts and converts the signal into 12-bit digital codes.
