Sensors
Arrow, Jorjin team up to develop mmWave radar sensor
An integrated millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar-sensing solution, based on Infineon's XENSIV mmWave radar chip has been launched by Arrow Electronics.
b-plus to host Data Sushi Lessons symposium
From 9th to 10th February, 2021, b-plus will host the 'Data Sushi Lessons' and, together with its partners Bertrandt, Deutronic, IBM, Incenda AI and Zukunft Mobility (ZF), will offer a free two-day lecture programme. A holistic picture for processing raw sensor data and developing autonomous driving test systems and ADAS functionalities will be presented.
3D LiDAR people counter solution with wide coverage area
Quanergy Systems has announced the availability of a new QORTEX People Counter solution, S3-2WSO, with double the coverage compared to previous iterations. The new release enables users to accurately monitor and control occupancy limits in public transportation and public venues while protecting individual privacy.
Temperature-stable LTO detectors for FTIR spectroscopy
LASER COMPONENTS’ has announced that its LT3111 series pyroelectric lithium tantalate (LTO) detectors are especially suited for FTIR spectroscopy (Fourier-transform infrared). The core of this new detector series is a 7-µm-thick chip.
Miniature ambient light sensors for smartphone displays
ams has announced the TSL2520 and TSL2521 ambient light sensors which fit in a tiny bezel or gap to enable a smartphone’s screen to stretch from edge-to-edge of the chassis with no aperture. By using the TSL2520/21 to maximise the viewable screen area, smartphone manufacturers can provide the best possible user experience while enabling effective camera image correction.
Sensor innovations in active noise cancellation
Molex has introduced an accelerometer-based Road Noise Cancelling (RNC) sensor, the first product in a new family of automotive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) sensors. These sensors will play a role in combatting unwanted road, wind and HVAC car noise while reducing low-frequency sounds that increase driver fatigue.
Current sensors are powered by patented technology
In stock now at distributor Mouser Electronics, Inc. is the CT220 XtremeSense contactless current sensors from Crocus Technology.
Current sensor IC eases assembly and boosts accuracy
Melexis has introduced the MLX91216 XHF extra high-field current sensor, extending the ease and accuracy of its unique IMC-Hall technology into high-current measurement for emerging automotive applications.
Time of Flight sensor module delivers 3D capabilities
The extensive sensor offering at Heilind Electronics has been extended with the Omron B5L 3D Time of Flight (TOF) sensor module.
Inductive position sensor for automotive motor commutation
Renesas Electronics has launched its magnet-free IPS2550 inductive position sensor. Featuring improved performance and easy customisation, as well as total stray field immunity, and reduced weight and form factor, the IPS2550 is suitable for use as an absolute position sensor for high speed motor commutation in passenger cars, heavy-duty commercial and off-road vehicles as well as motorbikes.
