BGT60LTR11AIP, Infineon’s first completely autonomous XENSIV 60 GHz radar sensor for motion sensing

The BGT60LTR11AIP MMIC is a fully integrated microwave motion sensor including Antennas in Package (AIP) as well as built-in motion and direction of motion detectors. A state machine enables operation of the device autonomously, i.e., without an external microcontroller or further signal processing. The MMIC has four quad-state input pins that give the performance parameters flexibility, even in this autonomous mode. The detection threshold or sensitivity has 16 different levels in order to fulfill a configurable detection range from 0.5 m up to 7 m with a typical human target Radar Cross Section (RCS). Hold time is also configurable in 16 levels in autonomous mode, which allows detection status to be held from 0.1 s up to 30 minutes. The device can achieve power consumption of less than 2mW with adjustable duty cycling.

This small-sized radar solution a compelling smart and cost-effective replacement for conventional PIR sensors, even in low power or battery-powered products.

BGT60LTR11AIP has a high sensitivity and can detect if a person is present and if a smart device (within the smart home) needs to be ready. Through this reliable presence and absence detection, Infineon’s 60 GHz radar powers the design of truly smart, energy-saving devices.

Discover the high performance XENSIV MEMS analog microphone IM73A135 for consumer electronics

Infineon’s XENSIV MEMS analog microphone IM73A135 sets a new performance benchmark in MEMS microphones. A best-in-class signal to noise ratio (SNR) of 73 dB and a high acoustic overload point of 135 dBSPL enable clear audio pick up of the quietest and the loudest sounds. The IM73A135 allows designers to reach a level of high audio performance that was previously only achievable by ECMs while at the same time reaping the benefits inherent in MEMS technology.

The KIT_IM73A135V01_FLEX is a flex kit that allows simple and easy evaluation of XENSIV IM73A135 MEMS microphones. One microphone of the respective type is mounted on each flex board. A flex board can be easily connected to an audio testing setup with the included adapter board via a 6-position ZIF connector. Each kit includes five flex boards and one adapter board.
