Abstract: An infrared detector including an array of detection bolometers each having a bolometric membrane suspended above a substrate, and associated with each bolometer: a detection branch, including the bolometer and a circuit performing a biasing according to a voltage set point, a compensation branch, including a compensation bolometer thermalized to the substrate, a circuit performing a biasing according to a voltage set point, an integrator for generating a voltage by integrating a difference between the currents flowing through said branches, a circuit generating a quantity depending on substrate temperature, including: a bolometer thermalized to the substrate, and a circuit for biasing the bolometer, and a circuit for generating the voltage set points according to said quantity. When the array is exposed to a uniform reference scene, the average of the differences between currents flowing through said branches is within the integrator dynamic range for a substrate temperature range from −30° C.-90° C.

Abstract: A device for integrating an electric current during a period Tint, including an operational amplifier and a capacitor connected between a first input and an output of the amplifier, a second input of the amplifier being taken to a voltage VBUS, output voltage Vout of the amplifier being saturated at a high voltage VsatH and a low voltage VsatH according to the charge quantity in the capacitor. The device also includes: a circuit for switching the terminals of the capacitor; and a circuit for triggering the circuit at least once during period Tint when voltage Vout both grows and is substantially equal to a reference voltage VREF, the voltage VREF being smaller than or equal to voltage VsatH, and reference voltage VREF and voltage VBUS being selected to comply with relation 2·VBUS−VREF≥VsatL; and a storage circuit for storing the number of triggerings having occurred between the initial time and the end time of the integration period.
