Excelitas Technologies announced its medical-grade CaliPile TPiS 1T1386 L5.5H thermopile sensor provides a sensing solution that addresses a wide range of temperature measurement applications. Excelitas claims that the new CaliPile sensor delivers the highest temperature accuracy combined with configurable threshold functions and lowest power consumption currently available.
Used for remote skin-temperature measurement applications and liquid and gas temperature control in medical applications, the thermopile sensor delivers fast remote over-temperature protection, mid-field human presence sensing, far-field human motion detection, and passive light-barrier sensing for people counting.

The TPiS 1T1386 L5.5H features a high-sensitivity TP-chip, confined optics, and a lens-hood for stray-light suppression for thermal stabilization in harsh conditions. Highly precise factory calibration data storage and minimized re-calibration is provided by an onboard EEPROM. Smart data processing enables signalizing fast temperature changes or over-temperature via an interrupt output, aside from the precision temperature measurement. The device constantly monitors additional interrupt-based data such as over-heating, presence, and near-field motion detection.
Additional features include accuracy of <0.3 K, a high sensitivity thermopile with a 5° field-of-view, integrated 50 µW low-power signal processing, an I2C interface, hardware-configurable address, calibration data for ambient and object temperature sensing, and an interrupt function for presence, motion, and over-temperature. The operation voltage range is 2.6 V to 3.6 V. The sensor is housed in an isothermal TO-39 package.
Excelitas is featuring the TPiS 1T1386 L5.5H at Electronica in Munich, Germany, November 15 – 18, at Booth # 303, Hall B3.
