Hi,

I am trying to locate a passive infrared detector (PIR) to use with a PIC,
similar to a MuRata part #IMD-B101-01 (not available in North America).
This part consists of a PIR and an integrated amplifier, in a very small
package and operates off of 2.6 - 5.5V.  With a fresnel lens (designed for
this part by MuRata), it has a detection distance of about 5 m.  The beauty
of this part is that it was a "complete" detector solution with a digital
output and it could operate off of a 5V supply.  A PIC is going to be used
to poll the digital output of the sensor, for use in a security monitoring
application.

Do any of you PIC wizards know of any other manufacturer that produces a
similar part (can't use surplus parts)?  I need a small package and I can't
cannibalize the PIR detectors (and fresnel lens) from a cheap security or
lighting unit.  Thanks in advance for your help!

Regards,
Gary Pepper
