PI0256HSN

Peripheral Imaging Corporation's HSN series is family of self-scanning photodiode solid-state linear imaging arrays. These HSN series  photodiode sensors employ PIC's
proprietary CMOS Image Sensing Technology to integrate the sensors into a single monolithic chip. These sensors are optimally designed for applications in spectroscopy. Accordingly, these HSN series  sensors contain a linear array of photodiodes with an optimized geome geomet- rical aspect ratio (25-µ m aperture pitch x 2500-µ m aperture width) for helping to maintain mechanical stability in spectroscopic instruments and for providing a large light-capturing ability. The family of sensors consists of photodiode arrays of various lengths, 256, 512, and 1024 pixels.

The HSN photodiode arrays are mounted in 22-pin ceramic side-brazed dual-in-line packages that fit in standard DIP sockets. A diagram of its pinout config configu- ration is seen in Figure 1.
