Abstract: The particle detection circuit comprises a plurality of basic circuits. Each basic circuit comprises a particle detector element connected to an associated counter and a summing circuit having a first input connected to the output of the counter. Basic circuits, each forming a subpixel, are grouped together by series connection of their summing circuits to form a pixel. The output of the pixel, formed by the output of the summing circuit of a last basic circuit of the pixel, supplies counting signals representative of the number of particles detected by the set of basic circuits of the pixel. Disabling certain basic circuits of the pixel, by selective zero resetting of the first input of their summing circuit, can enable only the particles detected by certain zones of the pixel to be counted.

Abstract: An image sensor with matrix readout includes a matrix of elementary photodetectors (P) connected through at least a bus (Bpel) to a remote integrator (I) which converts the signal of each elementary photodetector into a voltage. Provided between the end of the bus and the input of the integrator is an impedance matching device (D) with low output capacitance, delivering at its output, during the time for converting photodetector signal, a variation of charge which corresponds to an affine function of the charge present at the input of said matching device, wherein this charge variation is determined by: ∫ t = 0 t = Tconv ⁢ Iinj ⁢ ( t ) · ⅆ t = ∫ t = 0 t = Tconv ⁢ I ⁢ ⁢ int ⁢ ( t ) · ⅆ t where Iinj is the instantaneous current of the bus, injected at the input of the impedance matching device, Iint is the instantaneous current at the input of the integrator and Tconv is the conversion time.
