Digital Solutions
Dexter's Digital Detectors and Temperature Sensor Modules (TSM's) are based on Dexter's superior silicon thermopile technology and incorporate an ASIC that provides a cost effective front end for reading out the detector output. The digital solutions include pre-amplification, A/D, multi-plexing and SMBus communications. Additionaly, the SMBus can accommodate communications with up to 100 digital products. Our digital solutions are housed in industry standard TO-5/TO-39 packages.

1SC Compensated
A thin film-based single channel thermopile detector that offers thermal compensation to minimize effects of sudden ambient temperature change during the initial five seconds of change. The 1SC Compensated comes in a TO-5 package with a medium sized 1.0 x 1.0mm active area. Compensation is achieved through the integration of two additional half-sized thermopile elements. Internal aperture is standard and precisely defines active area for applications with FOV and/or spot size requirements.
