Lead resistances with basically the same resistance and contact resistances with different resistances have a significant impact on the test accuracy of the resistive sensor array

As far as the shared row and column resistive sensor array based on the equipotential method is concerned, the lead resistance and contact resistance cause the potential difference between the drive terminal of the readout circuit and the drive terminal of the resistive sensor array module, and also cause the The potential difference between the sampling terminal of the resistive sensor array module, thus destroying the ideal isolation feedback condition of the readout circuit, and making the resistance measurement error of the unit under test larger

Therefore, basically the same lead resistance and different joint contact resistance have a significant impact on the test results of the shared row and column resistive sensor array based on the equipotential method. At the same time, the channel conduction resistance of the multi-way switch in the traditional method will affect the unit under test. How to eliminate the influence of these factors is a problem to be further studied
