The TSL1401CS surface-mounted linear photodiode sensor array consists of a 128x1 array of photodiodes, associated charge amplifier circuitry, and a pixel data-hold function that provides simultaneous-integration start and stop times for all pixels. The pixels measure 63.5 um (H) by 55.5 um (W) with 63.5-um center-to-center spacing and 8-um spacing between pixels. Operation is simplified by internal control logic that requires only a serial-input (SI) signal and a clock.
Texas Advanced Optoelectronic Solutions (TAOS) is based in Plano, Texas. Established in 1998, the company mission is to develop, manufacture, and market leadership integrated optoelectronic products. Historically, applications requiring the sensing of light stimulus to execute a function have been implemented by either a photodiode or phototransistor – none of which support the emerging needs for higher performance optical sensor-based applications.
Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, our semiconductor devices combine precision mixed-signal functionality with photo-detectors on the same integrated circuit to produce products with performance and cost advantages over conventional solutions. TAOS' intelligent opto sensors simplify analog-to-digital conversion of light and are designed to reduce the need for signal conditioning or pre-processing circuitry in light-centric systems. Our light sensing solutions improve system performance and reduce design-cycle time giving designers the flexibility they require.
