ABSTRACT:
A pyroelectric device includes a pyroelectric member for detecting infrared radiation, a transistor whose gate electrode is connected to one of the terminals of the pyroelectric member, a drain terminal connected to a drain electrode of the transistor, a source terminal connected to a source electrode of the transistor, a grounding terminal connected to the other terminal of the pyroelectric member, and a gate resistor connected between the terminals of the pyroelectric member. The gate resistor used in a pyroelectric device for a fire detection has a resistance ranging from 5 to 50 gigaohms, and the gate resistor used in a pyroelectric device for an intrusion detection has a resistance equal to or less than 30 gigaohms.
