Along with the current rapid growth in the personal computer market, the color image scanner is poised for rapid growth. Although Sony has already developed a line of products for color image scanners, we have now developed a new product to support A4-size documents at a deusity of 600 DPI : the ILX538K 2-line color linear sensor with a 1-line spacing.

■ Pixel line spacing of 1 line
■ Analog memory included in the CCD block.
■ Pixel size corresponding to a 7-µm pitch
■ Ultra-low lag
■ Excellent linearity
■ Built-in clamp circuit
■ Built-in sample-and-hold circuit
