Underneath the PIR Sensor Lens
Inside PIR Sensor

Underneath the lens of Panasonic’s PIR (Passive Infrared) Sensors is a special design that uses a single-chip ASIC solution and four-element array pyroelectric sensing elements. The internal circuitry is integrated both amplifier and comparator circuits contained inside a TO-5 metal can with an optical filter to allow infrared to pass through while also preventing interferences caused by electromagnetic fields, such as those generated by cell phones and wireless devices.
