InfraTec is committed to growing its product line of pyroelectric detectors by new, highly innovative components which comply with the latest market requirements.

Since 2002 a wide range of current-mode detectors with integrated CMOS OpAmp, replacing earlier JFET source follower designs, have dominated our product line. These single and multi-color devices offer a signal voltage in the order of several hundred millivolts in NDIR gas analyzers and can easily be interfaced to microcontrollers.

In October 2009 a new device series with an ultra low power consumption of only 40 µW @ 2.7 V and single supply was launched. These devices need fewer pins for connection which simplifies circuit board design and assembly.

The flagship LME-336, based on the patented Low-Microphonic chip mounting and its very high responsivity, is specially designed for gas analyzing instruments operating in the 8-12 µm wavelength range (alcohol, chlorated hydrocarbons, ozone, etc.).

The LME-346 is of interest for flame detection at large distances. Again, a Low-Microphonic chip mounting and shorter time constant characterize this detector. A stable DC operating point is maintained by a thermal compensation element in both devices.

As with all devices manufactured by InfraTec, RoHS and REACH compliance are assured.
