KEMET QDC pyroelectric infrared food sensors

KEMET’s QDC thin film pyroelectric food sensors can be reduced in physical size and still provide high sensitivity with fast frequency operation, enabling this highly stable 2 element sensor in a TO39 package. The sensor element is built into a low noise circuit that has an internal CMOS operational amplifier with a 10 GO feedback resistor outputting a voltage signal centered around half the supply rail.
KEMET Pyroelectric Infrared Food, General IR Spectroscopy & Oil Monitoring Sensors are ideal for medical, automotive, industrial, environmental, and consumer applications.
