Design of readout circuit for piezoresistive pressure sensor using nodal array approach reading technique

In this paper, we proposed a new readout circuit in order to improve measurement output while reading the grouped resistive value in matrix array form. The purpose of having this circuit is to overcome the main problem in applying piezoresistive pressure sensor array for foot plantar application. Th...
