Excelitas Technologies Introduces DigiPyro PYD 5731 Miniature Pyroelectric Detector

     The market-oriented global technology leader in innovative and customized optoelectronic solutions, Axelida Technology Co., Ltd., has launched the DigiPyro PYD 5731 miniature pyroelectric detector, which is currently the smallest pyroelectric detector on the market. The small size and superior performance of the PYD 5731 make it ideal for sensor applications with high demands on assembly density, space constraints and product size, including smart integration in intrusion alarms and indoor/outdoor applications using analog and digital detectors Home and other products.

     The new PYD 5731 detector integrates a temperature reference element and features state-of-the-art low voltage operation at 1,8-3,6 V. It has excellent shielding performance and also has 2x14-bit digital output communication with the host microprocessor via a single-wire "direct link" interface. While standard pyroelectric detectors are usually housed in a TO-5 metal package, the new PYD 5731 is available in a TO-46 package with a diameter of only 5.5 mm. Combined with a digital output and a metal-shielded package, the DigiPyro series of digital pyroelectric detectors provide excellent immunity to electromagnetic interference, in addition to their industry-proven high radiated inductive sensitivity.

     "Our DigiPyro digital pyroelectric detectors are designed in the most compact form factor to provide high-performance motion detection, human-sensing monitoring and remote temperature measurement," said Fred Plotz, Infrared Sensing Manager at Excelitas. "DigiPyro digital pyroelectric detectors accelerate the smart home and smart city markets with advanced sensor intelligence, high sensitivity, and easy connectivity, while delivering features that improve the human-machine interface in today's smart products. This The new DigiPyro digital pyroelectric detector, the smallest in size, drives the miniaturization and development of sensor-related smart products in space-compact applications."

     DigiPyro digital pyroelectric detectors can be used to activate smart home, smart city systems to monitor and adjust temperature in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), light switch control, activate security camera and anti-theft system functions, and increase the intelligence of home appliances and autonomy. They are also used in gas and smoke detection systems to help keep homes safe.
