1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a readout device, and more particularly to an array-type readout device, a dual-function readout device, and a detecting circuit for a readout device.
2. Description of the Related Art
In Wan-Jun Lin, Chao P. C. P., Shir-Kuan Lin, Hsiao-Wen Zan, “A Novel Readout Circuit for an OTFD Gas Sensor with a New Front-end Trans-impedance Amplifier”, Sensors, IEEE, pp. 1141-1144, 2011, an impedance detecting circuit is proposed. However, the proposed impedance detecting circuit includes two operational amplifiers, resulting in a large size that is unfavorable for use in an array-type readout device. Such a large detecting circuit is only suitable for use in a single-type readout device, and may have a relatively low sensitivity and a relatively low signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio.
