    摘要: An imaging system includes an array of photodetectors and electronic circuitry associated with the photodetectors to read intensity values from the photodetectors. The electronic circuitry can include an integrator with an integrator capacitor having a nominal capacitance, wherein a gain of the electronic circuitry associated with a photodetector can depend at least in part on the actual capacitance of the integrator capacitor, the actual capacitance differing from the nominal capacitance. The imaging system can be configured to determine a gain factor that depends at least in part on the actual capacitance and/or a signal voltage input to the integrator. The imaging system can be configured to apply the gain factor based at least in part on the actual capacitance of the integrator capacitor calculated. The imaging system can be a thermal imaging system and may include an infrared camera core.

    摘要: The system may include a pixel array, a selector, a sampler, and a converter. The pixel array may generate output signals that representing radiation incident upon the pixel array. The selector may select one of the output signals. The sampler may sample the selected output signal. The converter may generate a digital signal based upon the selected output signal. The sampler may include a charge integrator that compensates for parasitic capacitance of the selector by selecting a first feedback capacitance to obtain a first sample, and after obtaining the first sample, selecting a second feedback capacitance to obtain a second sample. The first feedback capacitance may be greater than the second feedback capacitance.

    摘要: A device for measuring the intensity of light received by a photosensor comprises a photosensor for receiving light and producing a corresponding current and a circuit for integrating the current so that the intensity of the received light is indicated as the time required for the integration value of the integrating circuit to reach a predetermined value. If the intensity of the light is determined to be high at the start of the integration operation the integration value is set to the smaller of two predetermined values. If the intensity of the light is low, the integration value is set to a larger value.

    摘要: A digital gain controlled current to voltage amplifier having particular utility for interfacing with and forming part of a spectrophotometer system with a photomultiplier tube being responsive to light for producing an analog current proportional to the intensity thereof. The digital gain controlled current to voltage amplifier incorporates a current switched multiplying digital-to-analog converter inside its feedback loop. In this manner, the feedback loop impedance may be maintained constant as its gain is varied under control of a software programmed microcomputer.
