TH7813 and TH7814 linear arrays are based on THOM-
SON TCS most recent know-how in terms of design and
technology. Flexibility and performance of these devices
give the opportunity to use them in most vision systems for
industrial applications (web inspection, process control,
sorting and inspection of various parts), document scan-
ning up to 200 dpi, metrology,...

Stresses above those listed under absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent device failure. Functionality at or above
these limits is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Operating range defines the limits whithin which the functionality is guaranteed.
Electrical limits of applied signals are given in operating conditions section
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
Shorting the video outputs to any other pin, even temporarily, can permanently damage the on-chip output amplifier.

ELECTROOPTICAL PERFORMANCES WITHOUT INFRARED CUT-OFF FILTER
TH7813A and TH7814A special semiconductor process enables to exploit the silicon’s high near infrared sensitivity while
maintaining good imaging performances in terms of response uniformity and resolution. Typical changes in performance
with and without IR filtering are summarized below :
