Low power remote sensing system

What is a low power temperature sensor?

A low power temperature sensor is a type of sensor that offers a typical temperature accuracy of +/- 0.5 degC. These sensors are ideal for use in smartphones, portable IoT devices, and RF monitoring devices. Infineon’s 3D magnetic Sensor TVL493D is a good option for those seeking ultra-low power consumption from both a magnetic (hall-effect) sensor and a temperature sensor.

Can low-power IR sensors achieve long-range proximity sensing?

Low-power IR sensors can achieve short-range proximity sensing, up to ~50cm. However, they face challenges in achieving long-range proximity sensing. The Si1102, from Silicon Labs, for example, is a high-performance, single pulse IR sensor that achieves ultra-low power consumption.

Do low-power infrared sensors require a receiver?

Low-power infrared sensors are most often used in proximity detection systems. They typically require both an emitter and a receiver, which can significantly impact the power consumption of the sensor.

Does STMicroelectronics offer a low power temperature sensor?

STMicroelectronics offers a low power temperature sensor through their STLM20 Series. This series provides an operating voltage of 2.4 to 5.5V, with a typical maximum supply voltage of 4.8 and 8.0 uA, and a typical temperature accuracy of +/- 0.5 degC.

What are the design parameters of an embedded sensor platform?

Energy efficiency, size, and weight are among the most critical design parameters of an embedded sensor platform with System-on-Chip integration 15. The commercial sensing solution presented in 11 proposes a similar portable system on a PCB (60 mm × 75 mm) (see Table 1).

Are Ti DRV sensors unipolar or omnipolar?

The hall-effect sensors in TI’s DRV Series are capable of ultra-low power consumption and include both unipolar and omnipolar magnetic types, along with bipolar, bipolar latch, and ratiometric types.
