A sensor device includes a sensor array in which infrared sensors are
arrayed and a detection circuit connected to the output signal line of
the sensor array. The detection circuit includes a capacitor having a
charging circuit which is selectively driven, a sense amplifier circuit
which detects and amplifies a change in sensor current flowing to the
output signal line, a current-to-voltage conversion circuit which
converts the output current from the sense amplifier circuit into a
voltage, a discharging circuit which is controlled by the output voltage
of the current-to-voltage conversion circuit to discharge the capacitor,
and an output circuit which outputs the terminal voltage of the
capacitor.
