This product integrates an Ambient Light Sensing (ALS) element with an Infra-Red Proximity Sensing function in a unified System on Chip (SoC). The sensor is adept at detecting light from various sources, such as sunlight and artificial lighting. It incorporates an ambient light rejection algorithm to maintain proximity sensing accuracy regardless of surrounding light conditions.
Engineered for versatility, the sensor is suitable for mobile and industrial applications, providing real-time data for interfacing features like screen brightness adjustment in smartphones. The sensor also caters to ambient lighting variations with a sensitivity range from as low as 1 mLux to a maximum of 67108 Lux, and operates effectively within a proximity measurement range of up to 10 cm.
Robust and temperature-resistant, it functions well in environments ranging from -40°C to 85°C. The compact chip size (0.98 mm²) and efficient energy use, with a supply voltage between 1.7 V to 3.6 V, make it a cost-effective integration for multiple electronic systems.
