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.

We made new mems microphone package based on Infineon MEMS and ASIC.
we tried to calibration this package. however, to start calibration,when the package is applied bias voltage, the initial sensitivity of Mems microphone is slightly increasing from -47.2dB to -46.9dB, it took about 10sec and it settled a stable senstivity value. About 0.3dB variation occured, a certain package has a 0.6dB variation. What kinds of causes can make this problem? SNR is OK. THD is OK. Freq. response is OK.AOP is OK. But even after calibration, this phenomenon still happen.
Could you recommend any solution and the theoretical explanations for this issue?
I really appreciate if I get the answer from here.
Thanks.
Show LessDear all,
I'm using XMC 2GO(XMC1100) to realize the SPI communication between XMC2go and EVAL BGT24LTR22 BOARD, which is an evaluation board for MMIC BGT24ltr22. I wanted to know how can I change the value of the certain register in BGT24LTR22 chip?

I have a Distance2Go demo board V1.1 and I am trying to take data using Radar GUI. I can only save the raw data in text files but the Radar GUI isn't showing the real-time Polar plot, range, FFT magnitude etc. as shown in the attached image. How can I get those real-time informations? Thank you.
Best Regards,
Md. Shafkat Hossain.
Show LessHi there
I am wondering if there are libraries available for the D2GL board to create my own radar algorithms?
In mtb there is one called "xensiv-radar-sensing" but the manual only mentions the BGT60, rather than what i need (BGT24)
Are there libraries or applications available to create my own algorithms?
Thanks

Hello All,
I am trying to make an example about radar using Aurix TC356 MCU Board. I have files as below, but I could not find a guide on how to use these files. Is there anyone who can help with this?
Also I can't see the Aurix TC356 Adas card in Aurix Development Studio.
I can access the Aurix TC2x and TC3x documents on the MyICP site, but I couldn't see a guide there either.
Appreciate for any helping.
Best Regards,

The sensitivity settings and full-scale output voltage range define the maximum difference in magnetic flux we can measure between the two hall elements. What is not clear from the datasheet, is the maximum magnetic flux each hall element can experience without saturation or signal deterioration. Do you have this information available?
Show LessHello,
again a question about SW support for discontinued products. Distance2go SW was removed from Infinieon's web site, but many distributors are still selling it.
Pls ptovide a link to the download.
Thanks
Show LessI'm building a design using a IM73A135.
The datasheet lists a SNR of 73 dBA and an output impedance of 250 ohms in Normal mode.
Can I use 2 of these and tie the positive outputs together (and the negative outputs together) to gain 3dB SNR while having no increase in output level?
It works in a simulation, but I might be missing something.
I know the normal way to do this is through an active mixer using an op-amp.
However, I want to avoid the space/power needed for the op-amp, as well as the level increase.
I was planning on DC coupling the outputs due to space constraints.
How consistent is the DC output voltage from these mics?
Hi everyone
The BGT24MTR12 is used in the DEMO POSITION2GO evaluation kit.
Could you please tell me its angular resolution?
Are you implementing MIMO functionality in the MMIC?
Thanks
