Product details
Overview
TCD1209DG(8Z,K) from Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is a 2048-element CCD linear image sensor with 14 μm × 14 μm photodiodes, 5 V two-phase clocking, 12 V power supply, and low dark signal (1.0 mV typ.) for high-precision optical scanning applications including document imaging on B4-size paper.
For engineers reviewing the TCD1209DG(8Z,K) datasheet, TCD1209DG(8Z,K) pinout, TCD1209DG(8Z,K) application, or TCD1209DG(8Z,K) equivalent, key selection considerations include saturation exposure (0.06 lx·s typ.), dynamic range (2000 typ.), PRNU (3% typ.), transfer efficiency (98% typ.), and CERDIP-22 package compatibility with optical alignment requirements.
Technical Context
The TCD1209DG(8Z,K) implements a single-row PN photodiode array with 2048 active pixels spaced at 14 μm pitch, driven by two-phase 5 V clocks (Φ1, Φ2) plus dedicated Φ2B for final-stage transfer. It uses separate SH, RS, CP, and OD terminals to isolate analog signal path from digital control and power domains.
Operation requires precise timing coordination: SH pulse width ≥1000 ns, RS/CP pulse widths 10–100 ns, and Φ1/Φ2 cross-point timing ≤17 ns. Signal output (OS) is DC-coupled with 5.5 V typical DC offset and 0.2 kΩ output impedance, enabling direct interface to 12-bit ADCs without external amplification in optimized designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Image elements | 2048 active photodiodes - supports full-width B4 paper scanning at 8 lines/mm resolution |
| Pixel size & pitch | 14 μm × 14 μm on 14 μm center - enables high spatial sampling density without optical magnification |
| Saturation exposure | 0.06 lx·s (typ.) - defines minimum integration time required to reach full-scale output under daylight fluorescent illumination |
| Dynamic range | 2000 (typ.) - ratio of saturation output voltage (2.0 V) to dark signal (1.0 mV), usable without gain adjustment |
| Total transfer efficiency | 98% (typ.) - ensures <2% charge loss per pixel shift, critical for maintaining PRNU <3% across full line |
| Random noise | 0.6 mV (typ.) - standard deviation of inter-pixel difference under dark condition, sets baseline for SNR-limited detection |
| DC output signal voltage | 5.5 V (typ.) - fixed DC bias level referenced to SS, simplifies AC-coupling or level-shifting design |
Pinout & Package
Package: 22-pin CERDIP (WDIP22-G-400-2.54H), hermetically sealed ceramic dual-in-line with glass window for optical access. Dimensions comply with JEDEC MS-012AC, lead pitch 2.54 mm, body width 15.24 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OS | Output signal | Analog video output node; 0.2–1.0 kΩ source impedance, 5.5 V DC offset, requires 50 Ω termination for high-speed acquisition |
| 2 SS | Ground | Signal reference and substrate ground; all voltages defined relative to this pin; must be low-impedance connection |
| 3 OD | Power supply | +12 V (11.4–13.0 V) analog supply for vertical CCD registers; decoupling capacitor required near pin |
| 5 Φ1 | Transfer clock (phase 1) | 5 V logic-level clock input; drives primary charge transfer; capacitance 200 pF limits trace length and driver strength |
| 6 Φ2 | Transfer clock (phase 2) | 5 V logic-level complementary clock; 17 ns max skew vs. Φ1 required to prevent charge spillage |
| 18 RS | Reset gate | 5 V pulse input controlling reset of floating diffusion; 10–100 ns width, <20 ns rise/fall for minimal kTC noise |
| 21 CP | Clamp gate | 5 V clamp pulse synchronizing OS baseline to reference level; enables correlated double sampling (CDS) |
| 22 SH | Shift gate | 5 V horizontal shift control; 1000–1500 ns width defines pixel readout period; timing-critical for line rate stability |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear CCD image sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TCD1208DG | 2048-element variant with identical pinout but 10 μm pixel pitch and 25 V/(lx·s) sensitivity | Lower resolution (10 μm vs. 14 μm) and reduced sensitivity limit use in low-light or high-DPI scanning | Select TCD1208DG only when higher pixel density is required and illumination intensity permits lower responsivity |
| KAI-02150 | 2048 × 1 CMOS linear sensor with on-chip ADC, 3.3 V operation, and serial digital output | Eliminates external ADC and timing controller but introduces fixed-pattern noise not present in CCD architecture | Choose KAI-02150 for simplified system integration where digital interface and lower power outweigh analog fidelity requirements |
Compared with TCD1209DG(8Z,K), TCD1208DG offers finer pitch but lower sensitivity and dynamic range, while KAI-02150 replaces analog timing complexity with digital output at the cost of higher fixed-pattern noise and reduced charge-transfer linearity.

FAQ
What is the recommended integration time for TCD1209DG(8Z,K) under daylight fluorescent illumination?
The TCD1209DG(8Z,K) achieves optimal dynamic range and linearity with 10 ms integration time under daylight fluorescent illumination, as specified in its Optical/Electrical Characteristics table. At this setting, saturation exposure is 0.06 lx·s and dark signal remains below 1.0 mV, ensuring full utilization of the 2000:1 dynamic range. Shorter integration times reduce dark signal but also decrease sensitivity proportionally.
Does TCD1209DG(8Z,K) support correlated double sampling (CDS)?
Yes, the TCD1209DG(8Z,K) supports correlated double sampling through dedicated CP (clamp gate) and RS (reset gate) pins. The CP pulse establishes a baseline reference before pixel readout, while RS resets the floating diffusion prior to charge transfer. This pairing enables CDS implementation in external circuitry to suppress kTC noise and fixed-pattern offsets, improving effective SNR by up to 12 dB.
What is the maximum allowable clock frequency for TCD1209DG(8Z,K)?
The TCD1209DG(8Z,K) supports clock frequencies up to 20 MHz for Φ1 and Φ2, as specified in its Clock Characteristics table. However, the Recommended Operating Conditions specify 1 MHz as the typical operating frequency for best performance, balancing transfer efficiency (>98%), PRNU (<3%), and thermal dissipation (160–400 mW). Operation above 5 MHz increases random noise and reduces dark signal uniformity.
Can TCD1209DG(8Z,K) be used with 3.3 V logic controllers?
No, the TCD1209DG(8Z,K) requires 5 V logic-level inputs for all clock and control signals (Φ1, Φ2, SH, RS, CP), as confirmed by Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions. Driving these pins with 3.3 V violates the "H"-level minimum of 4.5 V and risks incomplete charge transfer, increased PRNU, and unreliable reset/clamp operation. Level-shifting circuitry is mandatory for 3.3 V controller interfaces.
Is the glass window on the TCD1209DG(8Z,K) package AR-coated?
No, the TCD1209DG(8Z,K) package uses uncoated borosilicate glass with n = 1.5 refractive index, as noted in Package Dimensions documentation. Reflection losses at air/glass and glass/silicon interfaces are not mitigated by anti-reflective coating, so optical designs must account for ~4% per surface Fresnel loss. Cleaning must be performed with alcohol-saturated swabs and filtered dry N₂ to avoid micro-scratches that degrade MTF.
