VCNL4200
DESCRIPTION VCNL4200 integrates a high sensitivity long distance proximity sensor (PS), ambient light sensor (ALS), and 940 nm IRED into one small package. It incorporates photodiodes, amplifiers, and analog to digital converting circuits into a single chip using a CMOS process. The 16-bit high resolution ALS offers excellent sensing capabilities with sufficient selections to fulfill most applications whether a dark or high transparency lens design. VCNL4200 offers individual programmable high and low threshold interrupt features for the best utilization of resources and power saving on the microcontroller. For the 12-bit / 16-bit proximity sensing function, VCNL4200 has a built-in intelligent cancellation scheme that eliminates background light issues. The persistence feature prevents false judgment of proximity sensing due to ambient light noise. The adoption of the patented Filtron TM technology achieves the closest ambient light spectral sensitivity to real human eye responses....
