Vishay VCNL4100 Proximity and Ambient Light Sensor has an integrated high sensitivity long distance proximity sensor (PS), ambient light sensor (ALS), and 940nm IRED. The VCNL4100 is housed in a 8x3x1.8mm surface mount package and incorporates photodiodes, amplifiers, and analog to digital converting circuits using the CMOS process. The sensor has 16-bit high resolution ALS that offers excellent sensing capabilities with sufficient selections to fulfill most applications. The VCNL4100 offers individual programmable high and low threshold interrupt features. This allows for the best utilization of resources and power saving on the microcontroller.
The Optoelectronics group of Vishay introduces their high-sensitivity proximity and ambient light sensor with long-distance proximity detection to 1 m. Featuring Filtron™ technology in a compact, 8 mm x 3 mm x 1.8 mm, surface-mount package, Vishay Semiconductor's VCNL4100 combines a high-power IR emitter, photo detectors for proximity and ambient light, a signal processing IC, and an 8-bit / 16-bit ADC. The three-in-one sensor features an interrupt function and supports I²C bus communication interfaces for smart home, industrial, and office applications.
