Amorphous silicon active pixel sensor readout circuit for digital imaging.

Amorphous silicon active pixel sensor readout circuit for digital imaging.

The most widely used architecture in large-area amorphous silicon (a-Si) flat panel imagers is a passive pixel sensor (PPS), which consists of a detector and a readout switch. While the PPS has the advantage of being compact and amenable toward high-resolution imaging, reading small PPS output signa...
