MAXREFDES131#

The future of smart connected devices is bright; however, many of the distinct applications are unclear and waiting to be invented. Clearly, critical components of IoT applications will ensure the safety of people and buildings, movement of commerce, and activation of features. For these reason, MAXREFDES131# is the future of IoT. This unique system marries a high-performance passive IR-sensing array, Panasonic’s GridEYE, with Maxim’s 1-Wire bus, for enhanced range and simple interface. MAXREFDES131# integrates the DS28E17 1-Wire-to-I2C master bridge with the AMG8833 Grid-EYE sensor from Panasonic electronic components. This architecture allows the sensor to be placed up to 100m from the host processor, on the 1-Wire bus. The DS2413 1-Wire dual-channel addressable switch along with the MAX4717 dualSPDT analog switch allow enumeration of units on the 1-Wire bus. In addition, all units can be put to sleep, or individually selected once enumerated, reducing power consumption.
