Toshiba integrates timing generators
TCD2726DG with reduced CCD driver pins
Lens reduction linear image sensor shipped


Demand for A3 multifunction printers capable of high-speed scanning is growing. Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (TOKYO: 6601) released the "TCD2726DG," a lens reduction type CCD linear image sensor, on the 18th. The TCD2726DG has a communication speed of 100MHz (50MHz x 2 channels), making it faster than the 70MHz (35MHz x 2 channels) "TCD2724DG-1" sensor.

The TCD2726DG integrates a timing generator to block electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can negatively impact clock speeds, and reduces the number of CCD driver pins. This reduces the effort required to control EMI and timing, thereby simplifying system development.

Suitable for A3 multifunction printers and automatic optical inspection equipment, the TCD2726DG is packaged in a WDIP32 package measuring 53.60 × 9.65 mm and provides dual 3.3 V and 10 V power supplies. It has a pixel size of 4.7 μm and can detect 7,500 pixels across three lines.
