Infrared Human Sensor Reference Design

Renesas’ RL78/G10 sensor detects human absence/presence by using a high-brightness LED

Image of Renesas Infrared Human SensorAs a part of their Quick Solutions, Renesas has created a reference design for a human infrared sensor that detects human absence/presence by utilizing a high brightness LED that can turn on and off automatically. The infrared LED sending signal is controlled by Renesas' RL78/G10 MCU's timer array unit (TAU01), and the receiving signal is controlled by the external interrupt terminal (INTP0) and timer array unit (TAU00). The high brightness LED will turn on when a person is detected, and off when the person leaves the area after 10 seconds, the LED will turn off, and the system will enter an infrared receiving signal STOP mode. RL78/G10 offers the lowest current consumption in the industry today and is ideal for human sensing.
