This reference design demonstrates how to design a low noise analog signal chain for PIR-based motion detection subsystems in line-powered applications resulting in longer detection range. This reference designs offers design theory, component selection, and circuit simulations for noise, settling time, stability and frequency response. Circuit modifications that help to meet design goals, such as faster power-on settling time and reduced false trigger due to some environmental sources in indoor and outdoor conditions, are also discussed.
Features
- Faster power-on settling time < 25 sec

- Circuit bandwidth: 0.3 Hz to 6.5 Hz
- Referred to output noise < 26.4 mV peak-peak
- Phase margin > 72º for all amplifier stages
