Renesas Electronics Simplified Contactless Thermometers

Renesas Electronics Simplified Contactless Thermometers can monitor an individual’s body temperature before entering any public place. These thermometers are used for medical applications. The simplified contactless thermometers depend on the target, market, and application. The thermal range to be monitored and the required accuracy of the simplified contactless thermometers differ significantly depending on the target, market, and application. This is especially the case when comparing thermometers used in a medical environment versus industrial applications. The reference design highlights the thermometer’s range of operation, accuracy, power considerations, and display options.
