Summary: | This article presents the design of a readout circuit for charge-output sensor arrays integrated on a flexible substrate. The charge-integrating amplifier is built with a current-output transimpedance amplifier that includes the integrator function with reset. The charge-integrating amplifier has a fully differential internal topology, improving over single-ended design, including the feedback amplifier implemented specifically as a Nauta-transconductor. The readout circuit has been manufactured in a 3-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mu \text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> low-temperature polysilicon process on foil and measured, achieving a bandwidth of 200 kHz, operation at a 5-V supply while consuming 586-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mu \text{W}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> power and maintaining a maximum integral nonlinearity of 5%.
