Abstract:
An image reading apparatus that controls relative positions of a carriage and a document in a first direction using a motor, so as to read an image of the document on a line by line basis, the carriage being mounted with an image sensor and a light source. The image reading apparatus detects an amount of movement caused by the motor in the first direction and generates a first trigger signal in response to input of a synchronization signal generated in accordance with the detected amount of movement, the first trigger signal instructing to start accumulation of charge in the image sensor, and, after a predetermined amount of time since the synchronization signal used for generating the first trigger signal is input, generates a second trigger signal, the second trigger signal instructing to end accumulation of the charge being accumulated in the image sensor.

Claim (Index 11):
An image sensor used in an image reading apparatus that controls relative positions of a carriage and a document in a first direction using a motor, so as to read an image of the document on a line by line basis, the carriage being mounted with the image sensor and a light source, the image sensor comprising:\n an input unit configured to sequentially input a first trigger signal and a second trigger signal, the first trigger signal being generated in response to input of a synchronization signal in accordance with an amount of movement caused by the motor in the first direction, the second trigger signal being generated after a predetermined amount of time since the synchronization signal used for generating the first trigger signal is input; and a control unit configured to,\n in synchronization with the first trigger signal, reset accumulated charge, start accumulation of charge, and output an image signal of a previous cycle, the image signal being stored in a storage memory, and, \n in synchronization with the second trigger signal, load into the storage memory an image signal obtained by converting charge accumulated between the first trigger signal and the second trigger signal.
