Infrared Source
Axetris infrared (IR) sources are micro-machined,
electrically modulated thermal infrared emitters
featuring true blackbody radiation characteristics, low
power consumption, high emissivity and a long lifetime.
The appropriate design is based on a resistive heating
element deposited onto a thin dielectric membrane
which is suspended on a micro-machined silicon
structure.

(TM = 500°C)
| (TM = 500°C)
How to ensure that the maximum temperature
for TM is not exceeded:
1. Determine electrical cold resistance RC of
the EMIRS device at TA=22°C
2. Ensure that anytime RH does not exceed
the representative limit as shown in this
diagram with respect to these conditions:
a. f ≥ 5 Hz
b. on-time (pulse duration) ≥ 8 ms

resistance (RH500C)

Temperatures above 500°C will impact drift and lifetime of the devices.
See Diagram RH — RC | (TM = 500°C)
3 The environmental and package temperature might impact the lifetime and characteristic of the devices.
