By Infineon Technologies

Infineon’s broad sensor portfolio in the XENSIV™ family contains ready-to-use solutions to enable a fast time-to-market, reliable functionality and accuracy. They are the perfect fit for applications such as smart homes & smart buildings, smart things, smart factories and smart cars. Our XENSIV™ sensors simplify lives by enabling “things” to “see”, “hear”, “feel” and “smell” and therefore intuitively “understand” their environment.

Giving “things” eyes with radar sensors

Radar offers a host of advantages over passive infrared technology in motion detection applications. These include greater accuracy and more precise measurement of detected objects, paving the way for new capabilities in speed detection and motion sensing. These advanced capabilities enable all sorts of “things” such as robots, cars, smart home devices and even lights to “see” their surroundings and respond dynamically.

Infineon’s REAL3™ image sensor family is the most advanced vision sensing technology in the world today and is already powering the smallest depth-sensing 3D camera modules on the market. The image sensor is based on Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology and creates an accurate 3D map of the environment in front of it, whether that’s a room, faces, hand details or objects in real-time.
