Abstract
Readout integrated circuits placed below the suspended sensor elements detect changes of electrical resistance of sensor elements and digitize the signals with digital to analog convertor for each element. Readout electronics provides low parasitics, high signal to noise ratio, high data rate, high dynamic range and instantaneous global readout.
Claims16
A suspended sensing element encapsulated without mechanical contact to the element, having readout integrated circuit located underneath the element.
Signal correcting and processing unit for suspended sensing elements, encapsulated without mechanical contact to the elements and having readout integrated circuit located underneath each element, the unit having memory containing sensitivity of all elements, their thermal sensitivity and algorithms to interpolate between nonfunctional elements.
