IFXBGT60LTR11AIP Radar Shield2Go
Overview
The S2GORADARBGT60LTR11TOBO1 is a compact 60GHz radar sensor development board designed for the Infineon Shield2Go ecosystem and Arduino-compatible platforms. It features the BGT60LTR11AIP Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) with integrated Antennas in Package (AiP) to detect motion and direction of movement without requiring external antenna design. The board includes onboard potentiometers and switches to allow for hardware-based configuration of detection range and sensitivity.
Why Choose This Part
This module simplifies 60GHz radar integration by including the antennas directly in the chip package (AiP), eliminating complex RF layout requirements. It offers a small 24.1mm by 48.8mm form factor and dual-mode operation, allowing for either autonomous hardware configuration via switches or advanced digital control through an SPI interface. The integrated direction-of-motion detection provides more sophisticated data than standard PIR sensors while maintaining low power consumption.
Applications
Getting Started
To begin development, mount the Shield2Go module onto a compatible Infineon MyIoT adapter or an Arduino Uno using a level shifter since the board operates at a fixed 3.3V VDD. Software support is available through the Infineon GitHub repository, which provides libraries for reading motion and direction states via GPIO or SPI. Use the onboard potentiometers to manually tune the radar sensitivity and hold-time during initial prototyping.
