Texas Instruments recently brought to market what it claims to be the world's first single-chip passive infrared (IR) micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) temperature sensor, called the TMP006.

So, you need to measure the temperature of your IC, PCB, or box? No big deal: you can use one of the many available approaches, via sensors such as a thermocouple, RTD, thermistor, diode, or an ...

Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN) is enabling contactless temperature measurement for the first time in portable consumer electronics with the industry’s first single-chip passive ...

Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) has announced single-chip passive infrared (IR) MEMS temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of any material without making physical contact. The TMP006 ...

Passive InfraRed sensors (PIRs) are electronic devices which are used in some security alarm systems to detect motion of an infrared emitting source, usually a human body. All objects, living or not, ...

Recently, the progress of uncooled infrared (IR) sensors has been remarkable due to microelectronic systems (MEMS)-based pixel structure, in which free standing thermal isolation structures are ...

Unlike infrared optical sensors that use an LED transmitter and IR receiver, the PIR emits nothing. As its “passive” name suggests, it responds only to infrared energy radiated by the object being ...

Southwest Microwave, a leading global supplier of perimeter intrusion detection systems, has announced the introduction of the advanced Model 420 Passive Infrared (PIR) Sensor for specialised outdoor ...
