64-thermopile infrared array sensor available from Avnet Abacus
Based on Panasonic’s advanced MEMS technology, the 8×8 grid format infrared array sensor combines a built-in thermistor and an integrated circuit for temperature sensing in a small SMT package measuring only 11.6×4.3×8.0mm. Grid-EYE enables contactless temperature detection over the entire specified area. It can use passive infrared detection to determine temperature differentiation allowing it to detect multiple objects simultaneously.
It is able to measure actual temperature and temperature gradients, providing thermal images and identifying the direction of movement of people or objects. The device’s 64 pixel range yields accurate temperature sensing, within the range of -20°C to 100°C, over a viewing angle of 60° provided by a silicon lens. It uses an external I²C communication interface, enabling temperature measurement at speeds of 1 or 10 frames/s. An interrupt function is also available. The operating voltage of the device is 3.3 or 5.0V.
