Designed to support a wide range of industrial, consumer and automotive applications, Infineon’s millimeter wave (mmWave) radar portfolio offers both FMCW and Doppler radar sensors supporting 24GHz, 60GHz, 77/79GHz. Here you can also find the links to the latest board pages, GitHub, documents, tools and FAQs.
Angle (Magnetic sensor)
In this forum you can post your questions, comments and feedback about the XENSIV™ Angle sensors. This sensor family is based on integrated Magneto Resistive (ixMR) technologies (e.g. GMR, TMR) in order to detect the orientation of an applied magnetic field by measuring sine and cosine angle components with monolithically integrated magneto resistive elements. Our Angle sensors can be found in a variety of consumer, industry and automotive applications like motor commutation in brushless drives (BLDC). Here you can also find the links to the latest board pages, GitHub, documents, simulation tools and FAQs.
Current (Magnetic sensor)
In this forum you can post your questions, comments and feedback about the XENSIV™ Current sensors, a sensor family which is using a hall-based technology in order to sense accurate and stable the current. Our Current sensors can be found in a variety of consumer, industry and automotive applications like traction inverters, industrial drives, photovoltaic inverters or battery disconnect systems. Here you can also find the links to the latest board pages, GitHub, documents, simulation tools and FAQs.
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 everyone,
I want to develop a circuit like "sense2gol" card but I need a more documentions and to begin scheamatics so if you have more docs and schematics design please write a comment.
Thanks everyone.

Show LessI am looking for the documentation for BGT60TR13C. I have found one PDF, but it is not describing all configuration registers. (For example, register ADC0 is listed but not described.)
I have bought the MCU7 demo, and I have downloaded RDK (SDK).
I can find .h files describing bit-fields in register ADC0 there, but no real description.
Show LessHi Guys,
i am testing this radar to detect only the presence in front off the device.
i am configuring it with Infineon radar software on windows.
When i change the state of 'Presence detect on/off' and i set it on "ON" mode and even if the module give succes setting when i check the status it remains on "OFF".
I am running on Ver 1.5.0.
I need to detect only the presence of a car in front of the radar, about how to set it?
Do you have some advice in order to set it correctly?
thank's in advance.

I saw that many people in the forum could not find the demo distance2go development resource package. I am also in a similar situation now. How can I get the resources? Now the Infineon official website is no longer available.

Hi,
I'm unable to connect to the XMC 2Go eval board with a TLI493D eval board. I'm getting this window when attempting to connect. When I first connected it, it prompted to update the board FW, and eventually said "updating timed out".
I've tried two boards, two computers, numerous fresh installs of the software, removed the J-link driver, two cables and both software versions.

Hello community,
I am struggling with the TLE493D-W2B6 sensor. I am using the defined library for the sensor. My speed rate is really slow because I need to use bit banging for this application.
My steps are the following:
1. reseting the chip
2. configuration
3. trying to read data
Problem:
The problem is that the device id is accepted during the write operation but not during the read operation and I don't understand it yet.
Has anyone any clever idea which causes this effect?
Thank you and greetings!
Show LessHello,
First time using TLI493D-W2BW sensor.
I am trying to establish I2C communication between a Raspberry RPi4 and a TLI493D-W2BW sensor. So far, I got the device listed when doing: i2cdetect -y 1
Then I need help on how to establish communication with python using smbus/smbus2 commands.
This C++ library gives some hints https://github.com/Infineon/TLI493D-W2BW. But how to use it on a Raspberry? Especially in python...
I am wondering if anyone has some basic example of a working I2C communication using smbus/smbus2? either in Python or C++.
Thank you in advance for your help,
