Electrical Performance Parameters

1. Higher rated parameters

Any electrical stress exceeding the parameters listed in the table below could potentially damage the device. Operating under these higher-rated conditions may affect the device’s reliability.

Working conditions ( Ambient temperature 25 Celsius )

Internal block diagram

Output REL trigger mode

When the sensor receives a valid signal—after it has been processed by a digital filter—that exceeds the internal trigger threshold, an internal counting pulse is generated. If the sensor subsequently receives another such signal, a second pulse is generated internally. If two pulses are received within 4 seconds, the REL pin will output a high-level signal. If the amplitude of the received signal exceeds the trigger threshold by more than five times, only one pulse is sufficient to trigger the REL pin to output a high-level signal. The delay time for the REL output starts timing from the moment of the most recent valid pulse.

Delay time adjustment

The voltage applied to the ONTIME pin determines the duration for which the REL output remains activated after the last alarm. If multiple alarm conditions are detected during the output period, the timer will be reset and restarted each time an alarm condition is detected.

SENS foot trigger threshold

The input voltage applied to the SENS pin determines the comparison threshold for the sensor's input signal. When the input voltage is grounded, the sensor’s comparison threshold is lower, resulting in higher sensitivity and potentially a longer sensing distance. Conversely, when the input voltage exceeds 1/4 of VDD, the sensor selects a higher threshold, leading to lower sensitivity and potentially a shorter sensing distance. The relationship between the sensor’s sensing distance and the voltage at the SENS (sensitivity) pin is not linear. Depending on the specific Fresnel lens used and the corresponding sensitivity level, the actual sensing distance should be verified through empirical testing.

Precautions

1. A pyroelectric infrared sensor detects changes in infrared energy and outputs a signal accordingly. However, it will also generate a signal in response to changes in infrared energy from non-human sources—for example, small animals, direct sunlight or other intense light sources, or conditions where air conditioners cause rapid temperature fluctuations. If the heat source is stationary or moving at high speed, or if the ambient temperature is close to human body temperature, the infrared signal emitted by the human body may not produce sufficient fluctuations; in such cases, the sensor will not output a signal.

2. By properly installing the sensor’s optical window in conjunction with a Fresnel lens, an ideal detection distance and angle can be achieved. During the design phase, it is important to select an appropriate lens and avoid exposing the sensor’s metal housing directly to the external flowing air.

3. During use, try to avoid excessive vibration. The optical window must be kept clean and free from friction by hard objects or other debris, as such friction could lead to performance failure or instability.

4. During the sensor soldering process, avoid excessively high temperatures and prolonged soldering times as much as possible. It is recommended to keep the temperature below 265℃ and the soldering time under 3 seconds.
