Abstract
A pyroelectric detector (20) includes a focal plane array (22) having a plurality of image sensors configured to convert electromagnetic energy into an electrical signal, and a memory module (24) coupled to the focal plane array. The focal plane array and the memory module are positioned on a common substrate platform (62).

A pyroelectric detector system comprising:
- a substrate platform;
- a focal plane array integrated into the substrate platform, the focal plane array including a plurality of image sensors configured to convert electromagnetic radiation into an electrical signal;
- a memory module integrated into the substrate platform and coupled to the focal plane array;
- a processor integrated into the substrate platform and coupled to the focal plane array and the memory module;
- a signal conditioning module integrated into the substrate platform and coupled to the focal plane array and the memory module;
- a wireless communication module integrated into the substrate platform and coupled to the focal plane array and the memory module;
- and
- a power management module integrated into the substrate platform and coupled to the processor, the power management module configured to perform a power scheduling function relative to power draw from the focal plane array, the signal conditioning module, the wireless communication module, and the memory module to minimize current spikes.
