The LM9830 is a complete document scanner system on a sin-
gle IC. The LM9830 provides all the functions (CCD control, illu-
mination control, analog front end, pixel processing function
image data buffer/SRAM controller, microstepping motor control-
ler, and EPP parallel port interface) necessary to create a high
performance color scanner. The LM9830 scans images in 36 bit
color, and has output data formats for 36 bits, 30 bits, and 24
bits.
LM9830 36-Bit Color Document Scanner
scan resolution and pixel depth for maximum scan speed.
Stepper motor control tightly coupled with buffer management
to maximize data transfer efficiency.
PWM stepper motor current control allows microstepping for
the price of fullstepping.
General Description
•
•
•
•
Supports 64k, 128k, or 256k x8 external SRAMs.
Parallel Port interface supports EPP, PS2 (bidirectional), or
SPP (nibble) modes of operation.
•
Pixel depths of 1, 2, or 4 bits are packed into bytes for faster
scans of line art and low pixel depth images.
Supports 1 and 3 channel CIS and CCD devices.
3 (R, G, and B) user-programmable gamma correction tables.
Able to transmit an arbitrary range of pixels to speed up
scanning of smaller items (business cards, etc.) by zooming
in on a subset of CCD pixels.
•
•
•
The only additional active components required are an external
SRAM for data buffering and power transistors for the stepper
motor. Parallel port pass-through requires two additional
TTL/CMOS logic ICs.
Applications
