Abstract

DESCRIBED IS A METHOD FOR READING AN ARRAY OF SENSORS (10) HAVING A SET OF ROW CONDUCTORS (60) EACH CONNECTED TO THE SENSORS IN A CORRESPONDING ROW OF THE ARRAY AND A SET OF COLUMN CONDUCTORS (50) EACH CONNECTED TO THE SENSORS IN A CORRESPONDING COLUMN OF THE ARRAY SUCH THAT EACH SENSOR IS CONNECTED BETWEEN A ROW CONDUCTOR AND A COLUMN CONDUCTOR. THE METHOD COMPRISES: FOR EACH ROW OF SENSORS IN THE ARRAY, PERFORMING A READ CYCLE (TR) COMPRISING APPLYING AN ACTIVATION PULSE (UB) TO THE CORRESPONDING ROW CONDUCTOR TO ACTIVATE THE SENSORS IN THE ROW, APPLYING A READING PULSE (UR) TO THE ROW CONDUCTOR ON EXPIRY OF A PREDETERMINED TIME INTERVAL FROM AN EDGE OF THE ACTIVATION PULSE, AND DURING THE READING PULSE, DETECTING, FOR EACH SENSOR IN THE ROW, A VALUE DEPENDENT ON A VARIABLE CHARACTERISTIC OF THAT SENSOR. THE READ CYCLE FOR AT LEAST ONE ROW IS COMMENCED DURING THE PREDETERMINED TIME INTERVAL OF THE READ CYCLE FOR ANOTHER ROW. IN A PREFERRED EXAMPLE DESCRIBED IN DETAIL, THE SENSORS ARE THERMAL RESISTANCE SENSORS, THE ACTIVATION PULSE IS A HEATING PULSE TO HEAT THE SENSORS, AND THE VARIABLE CHARACTERISTIC IS RESISTANCE.(FIG.1)
