Patent ID: 11825219

Abstract:
A matrix-array detector includes a set of pixels that are sensitive to a physical effect and arranged in a matrix array in at least one row and columns, each pixel generating a signal dependent on the physical effect, Q column conductors, each connecting the one or more pixels of one and the same column and intended to transport the signals generated by the pixels. The detector further comprises N multiplexers configured to operate simultaneously, each multiplexer receiving the signals from K column conductors, K being greater than or equal to 2, Q being at least equal to K2. The columns and associated conductors are ordered according to their physical distribution, q representing a current column. The N multiplexers are ordered from 1 to Q/K, n representing the rank of the current multiplexer. The column of rank q, where q is between 1 and K2, is connected to the multiplexer of rank n=q modulo K. Downstream of the multiplexers, the detector comprises a network of switches allowing signals present at the outputs of the multiplexers to be mixed.
