Interface Scanner sensor to PIC

[llbuenoo]

I am willing to interface a Contact Image Sensor (CIS) from an old HP scanner to a microcontroller, but I can't find any information on the sensor interface that could help me.

The sensor is a DL521-18. I managed to find that it is manufactured by Lite-On, but the website has no information, such as datasheets or pinouts of the module.

Has anyone tried this before or can lend me a hand?

How are you going to use the contact sensor...that is..what system,using the sensor and micro-controller together,are you trying to build?
For now, I would suggest you to find out Vcc and ground pin(s) on the sensor,using multimeter...

I can think on a lot of projects for this sensor.

Just as examples:
As a more sophisticated guidance sensor for a mobile robot for follow a route on the floor.
A system to measure the dimensions of an object located in contact with the sensor, through the optical information.
Color identification of objects in contact with the sensor.

I will try to identify the pins using a scope. If I had the datasheet of the sensor, it would be a lot easier.

Does anyone have that datasheet?

This is all the information about the sensor,which I could find on google....no datasheets could be found

I could find this http://www.liteon-semi.com/_en/02_cis/02_about.php?ID=7 but also, no datasheet or even a pinout and description of the signal on the pins.

It is a Liteon product, but they don't publish the datasheets over internet, at least for this product.

Hi llbuenoo ,
if you found a way to interface the contact image sensor with the PIC,please tell me how.
Thank you .

Hi this is the datasheet. CIS sensor produced by Amis. By the way never forget american mark printer (HP) mostly use american products for their printers or other hardwares. Japan marks mostly use japan products for their printers, laptops or so. For example Canon, Epson, brother printers Cis sensors generally uses Rohm Cis sensors. Lcd`s Sharp, Rohm or so.
