Digital Output; FoV 5°, 84°, 120°; Sensitivity 85-530 Counts/K; Noise 8 Counts/K; Time Constant 15, 45 ms; Package ISOthermal TO-5, TO-46, SMD 3x3, SMD 3.8x3.8

Excelitas’ DigiPile® thermopile sensors offer leading-edge, non-contact temperature measurement for applications in smart home, smart appliances, intelligent thermostats and HVAC control systems, and ear and forehead thermometers.

TPMI has become an industry wide established Excelitas functionality. The DigiPile series include specially designed electronic circuitry to provide the algorithm and calibration for temperature measurement, digital output and functionality.

Excelitas DigiPile was the first digital output thermopile sensor enabling direct connection to your microprocessor and streamlining integration. The DigiPile line of thermal IR detectors are designed specifically for non-contact temperature measurement and are available in traditional TO metal housings as well as in SMD (Surface Mount Device), offering significant space efficiency and streamlined integration.

The DigiPile family offers the known high sensitivity together with a 17-bit digital output. Within the bit stream the thermopile signal is followed by another signal given by an internal temperature reference diode. The digital output achieves low interference of electric disturbance to enable optimal performance across many applications and integrations.

Excelitas' TPiS 1T 1252B DigiPile sensor features a thermopile sensing chip connected to an internal ADC for amplification and digital conversion. This device engineered into a special TO-46 type housing constriction with Excelitas’ patented ISOthermal design provides improved performance under thermal shock situation.

The Excelitas TPiS 1T 1256 L5.5 DigiPile sensor features a thermopile sensing chip connected to an internal ADC for amplification and digital conversion. All included in TO type housing with integral lens.

Housed in a compact SMD carrier with optical window, the Excelitas TPiS 1S 1051 / 1252 DigiPile sensor series features thermopile sensing chips connected to an internal ADC to provide amplification and digital conversion. The TPiS 1S 1051 combines the smallest thermopile chip with the smallest housing of any Excelitas thermopile sensor. The TPiS 1S 1252 model delivers higher sensitivity in a modestly larger housing with built-in thermopile chip.

Applications: Ear Thermometry; General-purpose Thermometry; Non-contact Temperature Measurements
