Product Overview
The TCD1501D is a premium high-sensitivity, 5000-element linear charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor manufactured by Toshiba. Specifically engineered for industrial optical scanning and high-resolution imaging application setups, it features a dense arrangement of 5000 photoelectronic pixels that capture precise spatial data with excellent optical fidelity. The sensor operates via a simple 2-phase clock drive and incorporates a dedicated internal sample-and-hold circuit block to optimize signal processing stability. With its low dark current characteristics and remarkable signal-to-noise ratio profile, the is widely recognized as an industry-standard hardware benchmark for high-performance document scanners, industrial sorting lines, barcode inspection devices, and scientific spectrometry measurements.
Core Advantages
Superb Ultra-High 5000-Pixel Resolution
Featuring a massive 5000-element photo-sensor array, the device tracks extremely subtle fine lines and geometric shifts across large scan boundaries, providing rich data resolution without needing multi-sensor stitching layout profiles.
Advanced Low Dark Current Formulation
The highly stable silicon architecture drastically suppresses dark current thermal noise drift under continuous working states. This preserves clean, dependable signal integrity even during low-illumination optical operations.
Integrated Sample-and-Hold (S/H) Circuitry
Equipped with an onboard sample-and-hold stage, the analog output video waveform is smoothed and stabilised directly on-chip, significantly lowering downstream video pre-processing hardware overhead and board space footprint requirements.
Simple 2-Phase Drive Architecture
The device operates on a standard 2-phase clock pulse arrangement. This structural simplicity eases overall timing constraint mapping on host microprocessors or CPLD/FPGA logic controllers, speeding up prototyping and deployment timelines.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Is your current stock inventory of the TCD1501D image sensor entirely genuine?
A: Yes, we guarantee that all TCD1501D parts are 100% original, brand-new components from Toshiba, shipped directly in protective factory-sealed packaging with full lot traceability.
Q2: What type of window covering is used on the TCD1501D package case?
A: The TCD1501D is housed inside a rugged, hermetic 22-pin Ceramic DIP package equipped with a highly polished integrated optical clear glass window to maximize clean light transmission directly onto the CCD pixel row.
Q3: Does the TCD1501D sensor require an external sample-and-hold circuit block on the board?
A: No, the TCD1501D contains an onboard internal sample-and-hold circuit stage that internally cleans the raw analog video signals before routing them out, making it much easier to interface with standard external ADCs.
Q4: Where can our design engineering group access reference clock timing diagrams and layout recommendations?
A: Please complete our website’s Quick Inquiry form detailing your current hardware project context. Our support staff will compile and email you the full reference datasheets and application notes within 24 hours.
