Abstract :
A 128×128 real-time infrared (RTIR) CMOS scene generation IC is presented. The RTIR IC offers real-time dynamic thermal scene generation. This system is a mixed mode design, 9 bit accurate with 16 element analog scene information written and stored in the thermal pixel array. The presented design utilizes micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) in conjunction with the 1.2 μm Supertex CMOS process to develop a low cost RTIR IC scene generator
