Abstract

This paper gives Readout Integrated Circuit (ROIC) design required for infrared detector in Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR)camera. This design is based on monolithically fabricated 160 x 130 array of uncooled infrared detector. This design provides uniform output over a wide range of temperature and the output is specified in terms of quantum efficiency, specific detectivity and Noise Equivalent differential Temperature (NEdT). This design is fabricated for a high volume low cost production application.

Keywords
