MEMS microphones
In this forum you can post your questions, comments and feedback about Infineon’s XENSIV™ MEMS microphones. Our high performance microphones can be used in a variety of application such as earbuds, headphones, smartphones or laptops for high quality audio pickup.
Pressure Sensors
Our XENSIV™ family of digital absolute barometric pressure sensors gives designers the best choice when it comes to mobile and wearable devices. Highlights include small form factors to facilitate system integration, highest precision and relative accuracy over a wide temperature range, fast read-out speeds via the serial I2C/SPI interface, and low power consumption to ensure longer battery lifetimes. All of our air sensing solutions have a FIFO buffer that can store the last 32 measurements. Since the host processor can remain in sleep mode for a longer period between readouts, the FIFO buffer can reduce system power consumption further.
Speed (Magnetic sensor)
In this forum you can post your questions, comments and feedback about the XENSIV™ Speed sensors. This sensor family is based on integrated Magneto Resistive (ixMR) or hall-based technologies in order to determine linear and rotational speed. Our Speed sensors can be used with ferromagnetic gear tooth wheels or encoders to measure speed and position and they are essential components for the function of safety and powertrain applications like rotating shafts. Here you can also find the links to the latest board pages, documents and FAQs.

Hi, I am currently developing a radar processing board with BGT60TR13C. Since the chip of atsams series are hard to buy in my region, I used the STM32H7 as an alternative. So my questions are:
1): Is the firmware of Radar Baseboard MCU7 capable of being ported to stm32 platform;
2): If it is achievable, what kinds of packages are required to be ported. I read the datasheet saying the HAL should be ported but I am puzzled to determine which packages are the HAL library in the given firmware files.
Show LessHi,
I am using BGT60TR13C evaluation boards. I have 4 radars and write a single program in Linux to implement Segmentation Algorithm in each radar sequentially to have 360 degree environment.
When I set up only an obstacle in front of the first radar. The result should appear from only the 1st radar but all 4 radars show the same results.
Is it possible to implement segmentation algorithm in multiple radar as I do? Could anyone explain to me about this problem?
Thank you for your help!
Show LessWhat is the absolute maximum rating of sound pressure (SPL)?
I am considering the IM72D128V01 or IM69D130 in an environment where it must withstand SPL above 160 dB for longer periods.
I can only find the acoustic overload point in the datasheets, which is not what I am looking for.
I have previously used mems microphones from another brand with severe issues handling high SPL.
The moving mems membrane got stuck to its "floor" due to it's large movement in an event of a high peak.
Back then, the application was not extreme like now, but it destroyed the device permanently.
The Product Brief for the Microphone flex evaluation kits says that same flex board is used for both analog and digital MEMs microphones. It states that digital flex boards have a 0.1uF bypass capacitor, but analog flex boards have only the microphone. I recently purchased a KIT_IM73A135V01_FLEX and confirmed that this is the case. There is a place on the flex board for an SMD bypass capacitor, but it is not populated for the analog microphones.
What is the reason for leaving the bypass capacitor off of the analog flex boards? The data sheets recommend one for the analog microphones, same as for the digital.
It would be difficult to add a bypass capacitor by hand soldering, because of the very tiny SMD size.
Show LessHi, We would like to ask few questions about BGT60TR13c IoT dev kit:
1. We are trying to download the Radar Development Kit but we failed to download the last version 3.5.1. We have succeeded to download version 3.4.0 . but when we open it we only open a webpage of the Radar Development Kit.
We also have some issues connecting the BGT60TR13c to Radar Fusion GUI, and we tried to flash the bin file from C:\Infineon\Tools\Radar Fusion GUI
2. We also would like to ask if there is a way to get the data from each sensor separately?
3. Do you have example code for using Bluetooth over SYSBSYS-RP01 with the sensors?
Thank you!
Show LessHello, everybody
I need the human detection radar that maximum detection range is more than 200m.
Could you let me know the product like this
Thanks.

Show Lessin radar GUI is there any option or is there any method to do this :-
once I tune the chirp per samples etc.... and save and applied , is there any setting that can make it as like default until I reset the board
and when I connect the board to the PC and without opening the Rader GUI can I see the reading or data in the terminal or like by using Python code like the below code like using com port
import serial
# Configure the serial port
ser = serial.Serial('COM1', 9600) # Replace 'COM1' with your actual serial port and baud rate
# Open a text file for writing
output_file = open('radar_data.txt', 'w')
try:
while True:
# Read a line of data from the serial port
line = ser.readline().decode('utf-8')
try:
# Convert the line to a floating-point number
data = float(line.strip())
# Save the data to the text file
output_file.write(f"{data:.2f}\n") # Format data to two decimal places
output_file.flush() # Ensure data is written immediately
except ValueError:
print("Invalid data received:", line)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print("Data logging stopped.")
finally:
ser.close()
output_file.close()
for example :
if I upload the code to Arduino uno or another Arduino board it just needs a power supply to work it as per the uploaded code
like that only is there any way to do like that
Thankyou
Show LessHi
Is it possible to measure people's heartbeats using a 24 GHz distance2goL radar? Is it possible to do so, or is there any method to achieve this?
