Title:

ROLLING SUBFRAME PULSED BIAS MICROBOLOMETER INTEGRATION

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/040824

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

Methods and systems for enabling an approximation of true snapshot integration by lowering total power requirements, total detector bias current, integrated charge per detector and detector impedance while allowing for higher ROIC input noise through the use of microbolometer photodetectors, super-pixels, and techniques for their use are herein provided.
