C Pyroelectric Infrared Flame Sensor (SMD)
Introduction
The ezPyro range of thin film digital pyroelectric IR sensors
for flame detection combines high quality sensors with a
high level of configurable electronic integration in a small
SMD package. High sensitivity combined with fast response
times ensure rapid and accurate flame detection. The high
dynamic range allows detection of small and large flames,
nearby or over larger distances. These sensors integrate a
digital, current mode read-out offering high responsivity
over the full frequency range of flame flicker (3-30 Hz).
Programmable gain and filtering offer maximum flexibility in
system design. Industry standard I
2
C communication
enables plug-and-play connectivity to microcontrollers and
allows easy tuning and calibration. ezPyro sensors are very
stable over time ensuring a long and maintenance-free
operational lifespan. Various optical filter options are
available. These sensors can also be daisy-chained to
allow synchronized sampling across devices and offer various low power modes.
