Zilog today introduces its new Solution Kits for the ZMOTION Detection and Control Family with a series of high-performance Microcontrollers with integrated Motion Detection Algorithms combined with a selection of Lenses and Pyroelectric Sensors to fit a wide range of application requirements. Optimized configuration parameters for the ZMOTION MCU are provided for each lens/sensor combination, ensuring the best possible performance while significantly reducing development risk and minimizing time to market.

Zilog currently offers the ZMOTION MCU on its own or bundled with 10 different lens and PIR sensor combinations that have been specifically tuned for a wide variety of applications. These lenses and PIR sensors fit a variety of customer detection, energy management, occupancy, and lighting control applications. Zilog is pleased to announce that two new kits have been added to the existing portfolio. The NCL-10IL and the NCL-3B are both small-form-factor circular lenses that clip directly onto the pyroelectric sensor, eliminating the need for any mechanical lens holder designs. Both are suitable for entry and proximity-sensing applications. The NCL-10IL provides a wider coverage (70 degrees) than the more narrowly-focused NCL-3B (40 degrees). The lenses are physically the same size, allowing them to be interchanged to select the solution that best fits your specific application.

The worldwide adoption for improved motion sensing and control is growing quickly, especially for energy management applications. “With Zilog as part of IXYS, it is natural that we will target our leading-edge Zilog Microcontrollers for motion-sensing applications,” commented Dr. Nathan Zommer, CEO of IXYS Corporation.

Zilog’s ZMOTION Product Family is currently in full production and is now available to ship to customers that place orders through distributors. For more information, visit www.zilog.com.
