Patent ID: 8283951

Claim:
A method for controlling a device for converting charge into voltage comprising an amplifier and at least one capacitor mounted in inverse feedback between an input and an output of said amplifier, whereby said amplifier can be connected between at least one input stage, to receive at least one charge therefrom, and at least one output stage to deliver voltage thereto, said voltage being representative of the charge received, said method comprising at least one phase of conversion of the charge received at the input, wherein the conversion phase comprises at least: one first sub-phase during which the amplifier is connected to the input stage and the amplifier is disconnected from the output stage; followed, by a second sub-phase during which the amplifier is disconnected from the input stage and the amplifier is connected to the output stage, and wherein the at least one input stage includes a column of a matrix of detection elements, whereby the charge conversion device can be connected to each of the detection elements of said column to receive a charge therefrom.
