"We are excited to enable a unique and differentiated approach to bringing AI/ML capabilities to cost-sensitive, battery-powered home security sensor systems, without sacrificing battery life,” says Laurent Remont, Vice President of IoT and Sensor Solutions at Infineon’s Power & Sensor Systems Division. “Current home security solutions are unreliable for detecting events such as glass break. Our new solution combines a number of best-in-class technologies to create an alarm system that is smart, reliable and power efficient. We look forward to bringing more innovative solutions into the home security market.”
The Smart Alarm System solution incorporates Infineon’s IM73A135V01 high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) analog XENSIV MEMS microphones, XENSIV DPS310 digital pressure sensors, and a PSoC 62 microcontroller. Infineon also provides a sensor fusion software algorithm based on precisely trained AI/ML that combines acoustic and pressure sensor data to accurately differentiate between sharp sounds inside a home and distinctive audio/pressure events. These events can be created when glass is broken, or a house alarm is triggered due to a smoke alarm, a carbon monoxide alarm or an intrusion is detected through a door or window.
The new home security alarm SAS reference design technology is available today, with the board available in September 2022. www.infineon.com/smartalarm
