Abstract

A circuit arrangement for infrared detectors, more especially for thermal viewing devices with photoresistors as detector elements is designed in order so as not to necessitate an input amplifier and an output amplifier for each detector. For this purpose the collector current of a transistor is integrated for a scan period in a capacitor and at the end of the scan period the capacitor is discharged through an electronic switch to a present potential.
