Overview

The AK9720 is a slim and compact infrared-sensor module composed of a quantum IR sensor and an integrated circuit for characteristic compensation. The IC generates an analog signal that adjusts the infrared sensor’s offset and/or gain fluctuations and temperature characteristics.

  • Quantum-type IR sensor: IR1011 Core
  • Low voltage operation VDD +1.71 to +3.63V Digital I/F +1.65V to VDD
  • Low current consumption: 100uA typ. (@ 330ms sampling period )
  • 16bit-ADC output to I2C bus ⇒Digital output simplifies system integration
  • Fast response: TBD ms (@ sampling period)
  • Selectable output: temperature compensated signal or bypass signal
  • Integrated temperature sensor output
  • When the compensated signal is selected, the output has been adjusted for offset/gain variation and temperature sensitivity of IR sensors: => Simplifies heat design => No host processing needed for temperature compensated output
  • Stationary human body detection algorithm available as reference software
  • Slim, compact package with field of view limiter structure and optical filter ⇒Simplifies optical design
