read-out amplifier
1Charge amplifier — A charge amplifier is a current integrator driven by an electrical source with capacitive nature such as a piezoelectric sensor. Contrary to what its name may suggest, a charge amplifier does not amplify the electric charge present at its input… …
2Time Out of Mind — This article is about the Bob Dylan album. For other uses, see Time Out of Mind (disambiguation). Time Out of Mind Studio album by Bob Dylan …
3Dynamic random access memory — (DRAM) is a type of random access memory that stores each bit of data in a separate capacitor within an integrated circuit. Since real capacitors leak charge, the information eventually fades unless the capacitor charge is refreshed periodically …
4Active pixel sensor — An active pixel sensor (APS) is an image sensor consisting of an integrated circuit containing an array of pixel sensors, each pixel containing a photodetector and an active amplifier. There are many types of active pixel sensors including the… …
5Charge-coupled device — A specially developed CCD used for ultraviolet imaging in a wire bonded package. A charge coupled device (CCD) is a device for the movement of electrical charge, usually from within the device to an area where the charge can be manipulated, for… …
6Delta-sigma modulation — Delta sigma (ΔΣ; or sigma delta, ΣΔ) modulation is a method for encoding high resolution or analog signals into lower resolution digital signals. The conversion is done using error feedback, where the difference between the two signals is… …
7Ferroelectric RAM — (FeRAM or FRAM [FeRAM is the accepted generic acronym for ferroelectric random access memory.] ) is a random access memory similar in construction to DRAM but uses a ferroelectric layer instead of a dielectric layer to achieve non volatility.… …
8radiation measurement — ▪ technology Introduction technique for detecting the intensity and characteristics of ionizing radiation, such as alpha, beta, and gamma rays or neutrons, for the purpose of measurement. The term ionizing radiation refers to those… …
9Computer security compromised by hardware failure — is a branch of computer security applied to hardware. The objective of computer security includes protection of information and property from theft, corruption, or natural disaster, while allowing the information and property to remain accessible …
10Register file — A register file is an array of processor registers in a central processing unit (CPU). Modern integrated circuit based register files are usually implemented by way of fast static RAMs with multiple ports. Such RAMs are distinguished by having… …
