Abstract:
The present invention relates to a bolometer, and more specifically to a compensation circuit for compensating non-uniformity due to the difference of operating temperature between bolometers which exist in bolometer array using semiconductor material. A compensation circuit according to the present invention comprises a biasing part including a first transistor generating bias current according to the change of operating temperature to have a dependency of exponential function for the operating temperature of circuit, and a second transistor turned on/off according to the column signal of a bolometer array; a bolometer part including a variable resistor for detecting IR in a pixel base, a third transistor turned on/off according to the column signal of a bolometer array coupled to one end of the variable resistor, and a fourth transistor turned on/off according to the row signal of a bolometer array coupled to the other end of the variable resistor; and an off-set compensation part for compensating the non-uniformity of the bolometer unit.
