I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...

The first autonomous long range (300 ft./100m) infrared barrier in the industry! Recent Gold Winner for Best Perimeter Protection System at the AST Awards, SOLARIS forms a “virtual” (invisible) ...

An Infrared close object sensor installed on an industrial vehicle detects objects or pedestrians located in a hazardous area. When it detects a problem an audio/visual indicator makes an alert, that ...

As a result, it can now deliver high reliability protection for a wide range of high-resolution image sensor applications, including ADAS cameras. Modern ADAS cameras and similar systems require ...

KYOTO, Japan, Oct. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ROHM Co., Ltd. has developed an innovative Schottky barrier diode (SBD) that overcomes the traditional VF/IR trade-off. This way, it delivers high ...

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, ...

Some readers may recall building a line-following robot during their school days. Involving some IR LEDs, perhaps a bit of LEGO, and plenty of trial-and-error, it was fun on a tiny scale. Now imagine ...

VF vs IR Characteristic Comparison Supports higher resolution image sensors. The diode is housed in a compact flat-lead SOD-323HE package (2.5mm × 1.4mm) that offers both space efficiency and ...

Modern ADAS cameras and similar systems require higher pixel counts to meet demand for greater precision. This has created a growing concern -- the risk of damage caused by photovoltaic voltage ...
