The LM9832 is a complete USB image scanner system on a single IC. The LM9832 provides all the functions (image sensor control, illumination control, analog front end, pixel processing function image data buffer/DRAM controller, microstepping motor controller, and USB interface) necessary to create a high performance color scanner. The LM9832 scans images in 42 bit color/14 bit gray, and has output data formats for 42 and 24 bit color/14 and 8 bit gray. The LM9832 supports sensors with pixel counts of up to 16384 pixels x 3 colors (1200 dpi x 13.6 inches).
