Toshiba Introduces Lens Reduction Type CCD Linear Image Sensor for A3 Multifunction Printers

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation ("Toshiba") has launched “TCD2726DG,” a lens reduction type CCD linear image sensor that achieves high-speed scanning for A3 multifunction printers. Shipments of engineering samples start today.

There is growing demand for A3 multifunction printers with higher scanning speeds. TCD2726DG meets the demand by improving the performance with a faster operating clock rate: a 100MHz (50MHz x 2ch) data rate, against the 70MHz (35MHz x 2ch) data rate of Toshiba’s current sensor.

To prevent increased electromagnetic interference (EMI), a negative side effect of a faster clock rate, the new sensor incorporates a timing generator circuit and has a lower CCD driver pin count. This reduces EMI- and timing-adjustment work for customers, and the number of peripheral parts, contributing to easier system development.

The samples are for functional evaluation. Their specifications may differ from those for mass production.

TCD2724DG-1

Key Features

• 100MHz (50MHz x 2ch) data rate, CCD linear image sensor
