Title:
SEMICONDUCTOR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, SENSOR READING DEVICE, AND SENSOR READING METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/187474
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a sensor reading device, wherein an IC chip (10) having functions of amplifying and outputting sensor signals transmitted from sensor elements included in a sensor array (11), is provided with a plurality of channel amplifiers (111-1 to 111-n) connected to the sensor elements, respectively. When an output switch (114) is turned on, and the IC chip (10) is in an output state, channel switches (112-1 to 112-n) are sequentially switched, and sensor amplification signals are sequentially outputted from the channel amplifiers (111-1 to 111-n). When the output switch (114) is shut off, and the IC chip (10) is in a non-output state, a low power consumption state is achieved by reducing the bias current of operation amplifiers of the channel amplifiers (111-1 to 111-n), and the gain of the operation amplifiers is reduced.
