FEATURES
● Three-in-one smart optical module – Proximity sensor – Ambient Light Sensor – VCSEL light source● Fast, accurate distance ranging – Measures absolute range from 0 to above 10 cm – Independent of object reflectance – Ambient rejection – Crosstalk compensation for cover glass – Ranging beyond 100mm is possible with certain target reflectances and ambient conditions but not guaranteed
● Gesture recognition – Distance and signal level can be used by host system to implement gesture recognition – Demo systems available.
● Ambient light sensor – High dynamic range – Accurate/sensitive in ultra-low light – Calibrated output value in lux
● Easy integration – Single reflowable component – No additional optics or gasket – Single power supply – I2C interface for device control and data Datasheet - production data
● Two programmable GPIO – Window and thresholding functions for both ranging and ALS
DESCRIPTION
Instead of estimating the distance by measuring the amount of light reflected...
