Resistive Sensor Array Fast Readout Circuit, Readout Method, and Sensing System

Abstract

The invention discloses a resistive sensor array fast readout circuit based on a two-wire system isopotential method, and belongs to the sensor technology field. By aiming at an M*N two-dimensional resistive sensor array sharing row lines and column lines, the fast readout circuit comprises a column multiplexer; a reference voltage source; M current feedback operational amplifiers and M testing current sample resistors, which are respectively corresponding to M row lines of the resistive sensor array; N column line driving operational amplifiers, which are respectively corresponding to N column lines of the resistive sensor array; and connecting wires. Each row line and each column line of the resistive sensor array are respectively provided with two connecting wires. The invention also discloses a readout method of the above mentioned fast readout circuit and a sensing system. Compared to the prior art, by adopting the two-wire system isopotential method as the key technology, the measurement errors generated by the connecting cable lead resistance, the cable joint contact resistance, and multi-way switch channel conduction resistance can be effectively eliminated, and therefore the measurement accuracy of the resistive sensor array can be greatly improved.

Lead resistances with basically the same resistance and contact resistances with different resistances have a significant impact on the test accuracy of the resistive sensor array

As far as the shared row and column resistive sensor array based on the equipotential method is concerned, the lead resistance and contact resistance cause the potential difference between the drive terminal of the readout circuit and the drive terminal of the resistive sensor array module, and also cause the The potential difference between the sampling terminal of the resistive sensor array module, thus destroying the ideal isolation feedback condition of the readout circuit, and making the resistance measurement error of the unit under test larger

Therefore, basically the same lead resistance and different joint contact resistance have a significant impact on the test results of the shared row and column resistive sensor array based on the equipotential method. At the same time, the channel conduction resistance of the multi-way switch in the traditional method will affect the unit under test. How to eliminate the influence of these factors is a problem to be further studied
