AS3935 Overview
Key Specifications
Description
The AS3935 is a programmable fully integrated Lightning Sensor IC that detects the presence and approach of potentially hazardous lightning activity in the vicinity and provides an estimation on the distance to the head of the storm. The embedded lightning algorithm checks the incoming signal pattern to reject the potential man-made disturbers.
Key Features
- Advanced warning ahead of human senses
- Early awareness of approaching storms
- Lightning sensor warns of lightning storm activity within a radius of 40km
- Distance estimation to the head of the storm from overhead to 40km in 15 steps
- Detection of both types of lightning phenomena
