Abstract:
1. A camera system comprising: an image sensor array including a readout circuit; and a multi-layer structure formed by two hard rigid printed circuit boards and a soft flexible printed circuit board, wherein the at least one first linear sensor and the second linear sensors, arranged collectively in a column on a same plane, are packaged in a single module and produce respectively the first sensing signal and the second sensing signals when the module is caused to have a movement relative to a scene being scanned, and the single module is packaged in a ceramic structure and has at least one array of pins, the ceramic structure is built in with a resistor network for LVDS (low voltage differential signaling) matching and a capacitance network for a sensor power supply to reduce noise, the image sensor array is coupled to the readout circuit by the multi-layer structure, the soft flexible printed circuit board is sandwiched by the two hard rigid printed circuit boards, and each of the hard rigid printed circuit boards is used to accommodate parts of the readout circuit while the soft flexible printed circuit board is used for coupling outputs of the image sensor array to the hard rigid printed circuit boards.
