Abstract :
A CMOS circuit for the readout of microbolometer arrays is presented. It provides a pulsed bias for the microbolometers, signal amplification and multiplexing to a common output. The chip can be used with linear and small two-dimensional arrays of microbolometers realising a hybrid infrared sensor
