Applications in security, switching and gaming have a new option for detecting movements with Plessey Semiconductors newest Electric Potential Integrated Circuit (EPIC) sensors. The company’s initial product addressed ECG products for the health monitoring markets. In contrast, the PS25401 was engineered for higher volume applications and can be used in both proximity mode or to detect specific kinds of movement as a limited gesture recognition device.
The sensor does not require line of sight and can even detect movement through walls. This allows its use to replace, or operate in conjunction with a passive infra-red (PIR) sensor in applications such as security motion detectors.
