Smart sensors for motion detection
INSiAVA's leading product range of motion detectors was developed to interface directly with pyroceramic sensors and to directly digitise PIR signals while maintaining high signal fidelity and noise immunity. The IM-range features
- a predictable and well-controlled high impedance input stage,
- a highly sensitive differential analogue front-end,
- low power consumption, and
- ultra-low voltage operation.
The company has several patent applications pending in this field.
The IM-family of products are listed below:
| Device Name | Operating Current @ 3.0V | MCU Required | Configurable | Available Now |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IM1601 | 3.2μA | Yes | No | Yes |
| IM9401 | 4.6μA | No | External config. | Yes |
| IM8601 | 3.5μA | Yes | Digital config. | Yes |
Power management
INSiAVA has developed several IP blocks and a general purpose SMPS controller for AC-DC and DC-DC power converters. In addition, the company has developed a technology that could provide an integrated galvanic isolation barrier to replace conventional feedback through conventional industry standard opto-isolation. These IP blocks are suited for incorporation as ASIC for specific power management applications.
Silicon light emission technology
INSiAVA has extensive experience to develop and produce standard CMOS ICs containing silicon light emitting technology. The company's technology does not require modification of the fabrication process, thereby allowing fabrication in practically all standard CMOS foundries. Products include a stand-alone microdisplay product based on the company's technology that has an integrated library of character sets and a standard digital control interface (SPI).
As a platform technology, silicon light emission can be used in a number of applications such as opto-isolation, microdisplays, microfluidic sensing and chip-to-chip communication.
