LM9832  Product Folder

The LM9832 is a complete USB image scanner system on a single IC. The LM9832 provides all the functions (image sensor control, illumination control, analog front end, pixel processing function image data buffer/DRAM controller, microstepping motor controller, and USB interface) necessary to create a high performance color scanner. The LM9832 scans images in 42 bit color or 14 bit gray, and has output data formats for 24, 36, and 42 bit color or 8, 12, and 14 bit gray. The LM9832 supports sensors with pixel counts of up to 16384 pixels x 3 colors (1200 dpi x 13.6 inches).

The LM9832Æs low operating and suspend mode supply currents allow design of USB bus-powered scanners. The only additional active components required are an external 4Mbit or 16Mbit DRAM for data buffering and power transistors for the stepper motor.

• 42 bit color and 14 bit gray output modes
• 14 bit ADC digitizes at up to 6Mpixels/s (2M RGB pixels/sec)
• Digital Pixel Processing provides 1200, 800, 600, 400, 300, 200, 150, and 100dpi horizontal resolution from a 1200dpi sensor and 600, 400, 300, 200, 150, 100, 75, and 50dpi horizontal resolution from a 600dpi sensor
