A Study on the Design of a ROIC for Uncooled Infrared Ray Detector Using Differential Delta Sampling Technique

Abstract

A uncooled infrared ray sensor used in an infrared thermal imaging detector has many advanta ges. But because the uncooled infrared ray sensor is made by MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical system) process variation of offset is large. In this paper, to solve process variation of offset a ROIC for uncooled infrared ray sensor that has process variation of offset compensation technique using differential delta sa mpling and reference signal compensation circuit was proposed. As a result of simulation that uses the pr oposed ROIC, it was possible to acquire compensated output characteristics without process variation of o ffsets.Keywords: Readout IC, Uncooled infrared ray detector, Process variation of offset, Differentail delta sampling
