The SC1221AR3 is a low-power 60 GHz radar sensor with CMOS technology.

Features
· Suitable for 2D motion detection
- Integrated with 1×4 linear array receiving antenna to detect multiple moving objects' orientation, speed and distance simultaneously
- High precision linear chirp FMCW radar
- Sensing area: up to 10m (* 1), 120 degree (* 1) angle
· Highly integrated device for easy hardware design
- Integrated with antenna, radio, ADC, FIFO and SPI interfaces
- Ability to use a reasonable PCB, less BOM, and easy assembly
- Small package (9.0mm x 9.0mm, BGA package)
· Low power consumption
- 4-stage operation (power off, deep sleep, light sleep, induction)
- Intelligent power control sequencer, flexible duty cycle operation
- Average power consumption at 2D position sensing is 1mW (* 2)
*1:Depends on sensor configuration and environmental conditions
*2: Test results based on Socionext assumptions
