S10830 is CMOS area image sensor suitable for intra-oral X-ray imaging in dental diagnosis. S10830 has 1.5 megapixels (1000
× 1500) with a pixel size of 20 × 20 μm. FOP ( ber optic plate) is used as an input window, making S10830 high image-
quality and long-term X-ray life. S10834 is an easy-to-use X-ray imaging module using S10830 with a cable. S10830 has 14-
bit ADC on chip and LVDS digital output signal. It is to contribute cost reduction in a user’s system. S10831 and S10835 (1300
× 1700 pixels) are also available.

*4: The output voltage difference between LVDS differential terminals with 100 Ω termination
*5: The time in output from 10% to 90% or from 90% to 10% with 2 m long cable
*6: It takes 14 master clock pulse cycles to read out 1 pixel
*7: It takes 22.7 M master clock pulse cycles to read out 1 frame of an image. The readout of the next frame must be started after
nishing the readout of previous frame.
*8: Refer to “Timing chart”, PW(MST) is “Low” pulse width of MST (master start pulse).
e.g.) When the PW(MST) is 10 ms and f(MCLK) is 20 MHz:
Integration time = 10 ms + 394/20 M = 10.0197 ms
*9: Refer to “Timing chart”, The trigger photodiode is output every 7168 MCLK cycles. The integration time is 6608 MCLK cycles, and
560 MCLK cycles are used for the reset period of trigger photodiode.
e.g.) When the f(MCLK) is 20 MHz:
Integration time = 6608/20 M = 330.4 μs
*10: The consumption current of image sensor chip only. f(MCLK)=20 MHz
*11: The consumption current of image sensor chip only. Without 100 Ω termination (see “Output format” in P.7). f(MCLK)=20 MHz

(A) Continuously checking some X-ray radiation with monitoring the data of trigger photodiode by an external circuit.
(B) The MST should be set at low and integration of each pixel is to start when X-ray input is detected.
The Integration time is almost same as the low width of the MST. It can be controlled by an external circuit
(software, firmware, etc.).
(C) Just after the MST is set at high, the integration is to finish and readout starts.
(D) Each readout row has a header part, which consists of 28 high levels of the OUTDATA.
(E), (F) After completion readout, the OUTCLK and the OUTDATA automatically move to state of trigger photodiode.
