High-resolution thermopile infrared sensor array with monolithic integrated signal processing

摘要

The present invention is a high resolution thermopile infrared sensor array having a plurality of parallel signal processing channels for signals from pixels of a sensor array disposed on monolithic integrated signal processing and one or more sensor chips, and It relates to a digital port for serial output of pixel signals. The object of the present invention is to specify a thermopile infrared sensor array having a monolithic integrated signal processing, and a plurality of parallel signal processing channels with high integration and high thermal and geometric resolution at the same time with the lowest power loss. will be. The above object is that each signal processing channel (K ₁ ... K _N ) includes at least one analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and each signal processing channel (K ₁ ... K _N ) contains pixels. This is achieved in that a memory area in memory RAM for storing signals from (SE) is allocated.
