VCNL4040M3OE Proximity and Ambient Light Sensor – Vishay

VCNL4040M3OE Proximity and Ambient Light Sensor integrates a proximity sensor (PS), ambient light sensor (ALS), and a high power IRED into one small package. It incorporates photodiodes, amplifiers, and analog to digital converting circuits into a single chip by CMOS process. The 16-bit high resolution ALS inside VCNL4040M3OE Proximity and Ambient Light Sensor offers excellent sensing capabilities with sufficient selections to fulfill most applications whether dark or high transparency lens design. High and low interrupt thresholds can be programmed for both ALS and PS, allowing the component to use a minimal amount of the microcontrollers resources.
