The epc901 is a 1024 x 1 line imager for very fast imaging, capable of acquiring up to 44 k lines per second (fps). With its 4 frame store buffers, up to 500 fps in burst mode is possible. In addition, it is a very low noise device with a very high sensitivity over a wide wave-length range from 400 .. 1050 nm. Detailed chip performance details can be found in the epc901 datasheet.

The epc901 CC (Card-edge Connector Chip Carrier) is an easy-to- use board containing an epc901 chip. It allows easy connection to a main PCB board. Lens mounting for standard lenses/lens holders is prepared. This board is primarily used for epc901 chip evaluation with the ESPROS evaluation kit but is also well suited for production of linear encoders, triangulation systems, spectrometers, surface scan inspection and the like.
