Abstract

An electronic device for reading at least two acquisition channels, the device including a preamplifier with an inverter for each acquisition channel, and a polarization device shared by at least two of the preamplifiers.

Claims

1. An electronic device for reading at least two acquisition channels, the device comprising a preamplifier with an inverter for each acquisition channel, and a polarization device shared by at least two of the preamplifiers, wherein the polarization device comprises a voltage regulator and a reference inverter, said reference inverter being identical to the inverters of the preamplifiers.

2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the polarization device is connected in parallel with the preamplifiers.

3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the polarization device is shared by at least six preamplifiers.

4. The device according to claim 1, wherein the voltage regulator is connected in series with the assembly comprising the preamplifiers.

5. The device according to claim 1, wherein the inverters are based on CMOS technology.

6. The device according to claim 1, wherein the inverters are produced on the basis of BiCMOS technology.

7. The device according to claim 1, wherein the preamplifiers are power preamps.
