Maxim Integrated's latest release of infrared dynamic gesture sensors

     Maxim Integrated Products, INC launched a new generation of infrared dynamic gesture -based optical sensors, which can detect various gestures at a farther distance. Compared with the previous products, MAX25405 can detect a larger range of motion, and the detection range is doubled to 40 cm; compared with the camera -based flight time (TOF) detection scheme, the size is only a quarter of which, the cost is reduced by 10 10 Perm, it can be widely used in automotive, industry and consumer applications. These enhanced functions replace the voice communication solution, enabling the driver to focus on the road.

    In addition to optical elements and 6 x 10 infrared sensor arrays, the new generation MAX25405 also includes a glass lens, thereby increasing the detection sensitivity and signal -to -noise ratio. The improved performance has doubled the scope of closeness and distance detection, and the detection range exceeds the driver's area. For example, the information entertainment display can detect the gesture control of the co -pilot and rear seat passengers. Compared with the TOF competitive scheme that requires 3 chips and complex processors, MAX25405 has higher integration. MAX25405 uses small size, 20 pins, 4 mm x 4 mm x 1.35 mm square flat flat without leading feet (QFN) packaging. With 4 separate LED work, the size is reduced by 75%than the camera -based TOF detection scheme.
