5 Summary

PIR Motion detectors have remained mostly unchanged for the last decade but finally new, updated solutions are possible by leveraging devices like the MSPM0L1306 with advanced analog integration. The MSPM0 PIR Motion Detector offers a completely fresh and competitive solution to motion detection applications. The integrated capacitorless signal chain offers great performance and flexibility, with the ability to detect motion out to 9-10 meters. The solution provides significant BOM savings and board simplification with integrated OPAs and an analog PIR sensor. Finally, the software controlled AFE also allows for a very low power solution, with approximately 12 µA average current at 20 SPS.
