The document discusses infrared sensors. It describes infrared sensors as electronic devices that emit and sense aspects of the surroundings using infrared radiation. It then summarizes the different types of infrared sensors - active infrared sensors which both emit and receive infrared radiation, and passive infrared sensors which only receive infrared radiation from the surrounding environment. The document also provides examples of applications of infrared sensors and compares specifications of different infrared sensor models that use the LM393 integrated circuit.

INFRARED SENSOR:

An infrared sensor is an electronic device, that emits in order to sense some


aspects of the surroundings. An IR sensor can measure the heat of an object as
well as detects the motion. These types of sensors measures only infrared
radiation, rather than emitting it that is called as a passive IR sensor. Usually in
the infrared spectrum, all the objects radiate some form of thermal radiations.
These types of radiations are invisible to our eyes, that can be detected by an
infrared sensor. The emitter is simply an IR LED and the detector is simply an IR
photodiode which is sensitive to IR light of the same wavelength as that emitted
by the IR LED. When IR light falls on the photodiode, the resistances and these
output voltages, change in proportion to the magnitude of the IR light received.

CONFIGURATION:

 5VDC Operating voltage


 I/O pins are 5V and 3.3V compliant
 Range: Up to 20cm
 Adjustable Sensing range
 Built-in Ambient Light Sensor
 20mA supply current
 Mounting hole

TYPES OF IR SENSOR:

 Active Infrared Sensor


 Passive Infrared Sensor
ACTIVE IR SENSOR

Active Infrared Sensor contains both transmitter and receiver. Most of the
cases LED or laser diode is used as source. LED for non-imaging IR sensor and
laser diode for imaging IR sensor are used.

Active IR Sensor works by radiating energy, received and detected by detector


and further processed by signal processor in order to fetch information required.

Examples of Active IR Sensor:

 Break Beam Sensor


 Reflectance Sensor

PASSIVE IR SENSOR:

Passive Infrared Sensor contains detectors alone. There won’t be a


transmitter component. These types of sensors use object as IR source transmitter.
Object radiates energy and it is detected by IR receivers. A Signal processor is
then used to interpret the signal to fetch information required.

Example of Passive IR Sensor:

Thermocouple-Thermopile

Bolometer
Pyro-Electric Detector.,

Passive Infrared Sensor

There are two types of Passive Infrared Sensor:

 Thermal Infrared Sensor


 Quantum Infrared Sensor

THERMAL INFRARED SENSOR:

Thermal Infrared sensors are independent of wavelength. They use heat


as energy source. Thermal detectors are slow with their detection time and
response time.

QUANTUM INFRARED SENSOR:

Quantum Infrared Sensor are dependent on wavelengths. They have high


detection time and response time. These type of IR sensors require frequent
cooling for precise measurement.
APPLICATION OF IR SENSOR:

 Proximity sensor
 Burglar Alarm
 Item counter
 Mobile biometric systems
 Surveillance security
 Many electronic motion detective gadgets

MODELS OF IR SENSORS:

produced for the different functionalities. Here some examples of obstacle
detecting IR sensors.
