ATS58LP-2020B ultra-low power
5.8GHz radar sensor
FCC ID：2AVK2-ATS58LP-2020B

Description

ATS58LP-2020B is an ultra-low-power 5.8G radar sensor launched by AirTouch. The overall power consumption is 68uA. The module size is 20mm*20mm, which is equivalent to a 5coin.， The sensor uses a self-developed radar sensor chip AT5810S, which integrates a 5.8G microwave circuit, an intermediate frequency amplifier circuit, and a signal processor， The chip has a high degree of integration and good production consistency. The peripheral is equipped with a miniaturized planar antenna, which greatly reduces the overall size while ensuring the performance of the sensor. The sensor can be used to detect various scenes of human beings or moving target sensing， including intelligent home, Internet of things, intelligent lighting, and other fields， It is especially suitable for low-power battery-powered scenes such as night lights, and solar street lights, and wireless cameras.

Radar Sensor illustration

Five pin holes are reserved in the module, including VCC, GND, OUT, SCL, and SDA, with a pin distance of 2.54mm， If you need to adjust parameters such as distance and delay time, you can adjust the specific resistance on the module to select the corresponding gear or use the external MCU reserved on the module to rewrite the internal parameters， The following table describes the definition of each pin:

by a lithium battery or dry battery (2.8-4.8V). If the power supply voltage exceeds 5V, an LDO needs to be added. At this time, the power supply VCC is 5-12V.

OUT| Output control| The output signal is high and low level (OV/2.2V).

Module size and pin position

Figure 2 below is the schematic diagram of module size and pin position. The length and width of the module is 20 mm * 20 mm. By default, there is no pin, and the overall thickness is 2.5 mm. If a pin is required, the default pin height is 12 mm.

Electrical characteristics

The hold time and detection area

The ATS58LP-2020B pin has an IIC signal pin. When debugging, the host computer can be used to adjust the delay, sensitivity, and other parameters through the IIC; there is also a reserved MCU position on the module, and the sensing distance， Delay, and other parameters of the radar can also be initialized through the MCU on the module.in addition, 3 sensitivity condition resistors are reserved on the module, which can be adjusted by adjusting the resistance shown in Figure 3 on the right.

In a state without any configuration, the induction delay is 15S, and the OUT output is high during the induction time. If the induction is triggered again within the delay time, the timing will restart.

The sensing distance adjustment resistor is shown in Figure 4. The three resistors correspond to three threshold parameters. The resistor positions are th0, th1, and th2 from top to bottom. The three resistors correspond to 8 logic combinations. When there is no resistor, the logic is 1. Figure 4 lists the thresholds corresponding to various combinational logic. When the threshold is smaller, the sensing distance is farther, when the threshold is larger, the sensing distance is closer. The sensing distance is the farthest when the three resistors are not attached. When the resistors are all pasted, the sensing distance is the shortest, and the intermediate state can be deduced by analogy。

Photosensitive Detection

The module supports photosensitive detection, but the photosensitive function is optional. If the photosensitive function is required, photodiode and tuning resistance can be added at the position shown in Figure 4. The photosensitive detection function shall also be enabled synchronously in software, and the photosensitive threshold can be adjusted by tuning resistance. Turn on the version of the photosensitive function, only when the ambient light is lower than the set illuminance, the radar sensing will be start. If the light is too bright, the module will not

start the sensing function. When testing the radar performance alone, the photodiode can be covered with black tape to avoid the photosensitive effect affecting the radar sensing function.

Power-on Sequence

The module has a power-on self-check function, that is, after the module is powered on, the OUT pin first outputs a high level, and then outputs a low level after a delay of 3S, and enters the normal induction mode after a low- level delay of 0.5S， The following is the sequence diagram of the control signal after the module is powered on：

Detection Pattern

The sensing sensitivity of the radar sensor can be configured by adjusting the resistance, and its limit sensing distance is 6~8 meters, and the actual sensing distance can be adjusted appropriately according to needs. The following is the schematic diagram of the radar detection range in case of high hanging. If the sensitivity is set higher, the detection range will be correspondingly larger. In the figure, the dark area is the high sensitivity area, which can be fully detected, while the light area is the low sensitivity detection area, which can basically detect objects.

Precautions

• During installation, the front of the antenna shall be free of metal shell or parts to avoid signal shielding. Plastic or glass and other materials are allowed, but these materials shall not be close to the front of the antenna.
• Try to avoid pointing the radar antenna at the large metal equipment or pipeline, etc；
• When multiple radar modules are installed, the antennas of each radar module shall be parallel to each other as much as possible to avoid direct radiation between the  antennas, and the distance between the modules shall be more than 1m；
• The radar sensor should avoid facing the AC driving power supply and keep away from the rectifier bridge of the driving power supply as far as possible to avoid the interference of the power frequency.
