PI0512WS

Peripheral Imaging Corporation's WS series is family of self-scanning photodiode solid-state linear imaging arrays. These photodiode sensors employ PIC's proprietary CMOS Image Sensing Technology to integrate the sensors into single monolithic chip. These sensors are optimally designed for applications in spectroscopy. Accordingly, these WS series  sensors contain a linear array of photodiodes with an optimized geometrical aspect ratio (50- mm aperture pitch x 2500- mm aperture width) for helping to maintain mechanical stability in spectroscopic instruments and for providing their light-capturing ability. The family of sensor consists of active photodiode arrays of different number of pixels, 256 and 512.

The WS series devices are mounted in 22-pin ceramic side-brazed dual-in-line packages that will insert in a standard DIP socket. A diagram of the package and its pinout configuration is seen in Figure 1.
