4.3 SCANNER SECTION
4.3.1 Photoelectric Conversion
The color CCD converts the light reflected from the original into RGB analog
signals (4.475 MHz for each signal: even-pixel and odd-pixel). Each CCD
line has 5,000 pixels and the resolution is 400 dpi (15.7 pixels/mm).
4.3.2 Signal Processing
(1) Signal Amplification
Odd-pixel and even-pixel RGB analog signals from the CCD are amplified by
operational amplifiers.
(2) Signal Composition
The amplified signals (even-pixel and odd-pixel for each RGB color) are
combined by the MPX before A/D conversion.
(3) Feedback
The CPU on the scanner IPU board receives the feedback data for white
level and black level from the shading circuits and feeds it to the CLPs and
the operational amplifiers through the D/A converter (see section 4.3.5, D/A
conversion). The feedback data from the CPU are updated every time the
main switch is turned on.
4.3.3 A/D Conversion
The A/D Converter converts the analog signals (each RGB color) to digital
signals of 8 bits (256 grades) per pixel.
