Low Power PIR Motion Detector Design: Analog vs. Digital Solutions

00:06:21 | 01 MAY 2018
This short video covers the basics of PIR motion detectors, the differences between analog and digital solutions, and how to design the right motion detector circuit for any application, such as video surveillance, lighting systems, and building security. After watching this video, you will be familiar with: How PIR motion detection works, how to save power in your PIR circuit, when to use analog or digital solutions and where to find additional support (reference designs, demo boards, etc.)
