Abstract
A readout apparatus and a driving method for sensor are provided. The readout apparatus includes an adjustable bias unit, a sensor unit, a signal converting unit, a checking unit and a control unit. The sensor unit senses physical energy and outputs a sensing result by using a bias voltage outputted from the adjustable bias unit. The control unit controls the adjustable bias unit according to the sensing result, so as to adjust the bias voltage. Therefore, the readout apparatus can reduce continuous power loss caused by long-term detection.
