Field of the Invention
The field of the invention relates generally to a sensor module including a sensor and processing electronics.
2. Description of the Related Art
Sensor modules that include both a sensor and a processor (e.g., a general purpose processor or an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit, or ASIC) can be useful in a variety of optical, electrical, and electronic applications. In some implementations, it can be desirable to arrange the sensor module so that the sensor and processor are positioned relatively close to one another. For example, analog signals can experience parasitic losses as the signals are transmitted over a distance, which can degrade the accuracy and quality of the detected signal. Positioning the sensor near the processor can reduce or eliminate parasitic losses associated with signal transmission between the sensor and the processor. The processor can then perform various preconditioning and/or preprocessing operations, such as converting analog signals to digital signals, within the sensor module. The processor can transmit the processed digital signals to an external control module, which can be located far from the sensor, with minimal or no parasitic transmission losses to the signals.
One problem associated with positioning the processor near the sensor is that the heat generated by the processor may be transmitted to the sensor or the sensor substrate. It can be undesirable to transmit heat to the sensor for a variety of reasons. For example, the heat can cause damage due to a mismatch of the thermal coefficients among the parts. Heating the sensor can also be undesirable by inducing increased temperatures on the sensor that can damage sensor components or that can interfere with the signals detected by

 Sensor modules that admit both a sensor and a processor (e.g., a general purpose processor or an Application - Specific Integrated Circuit, or ASIC) can be useful in a variety of optical, electrical, and electronic applications. In some execution, it can be desirable to arrange the detector faculty so that the detector and processor are positioned relatively close to one another. For example, analog signals can experience parasitic loss as the signal are transmitted over a distance, which can degrade the accuracy and timbre of the detected signal. Positioning the sensor near the processor can reduce or extinguish parasitic passing associated with signal transmittance between the sensor and the central processing unit. The processor can then perform various preconditioning and/or preprocessing operation, such as converting analog signals to digital signals, within the sensor module. The processor can transmit the processed digital signals to an external control faculty, which can be located far from the sensor, with minimal or no epenthetic transmission losses to the signals. 
 One trouble associated with positioning the processor near the sensor is that the heat generated by the processor may be transmitted to the sensor or the sensor substrate.
