Abstract
An IR sensor device may include an IR image sensor having an array of IR sensing pixels, and a readout circuit coupled to the IR image sensor and configured to sense sequential images. The IR sensor device may include a controller coupled to the readout circuit and configured to cause the readout circuit to apply a voltage to the IR image sensor between sensing of the sequential images.
