Proximity Sensor With VCSEL in Single Package, I
2
C Interface
DESCRIPTION
VCNL36687S integrates a proximity and a high power
VCSEL (vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser) into one small
package. It incorporates photodiodes, amplifiers, and
analog to digital converting circuits into a single chip by
CMOS process. PS programmable interrupt features of
individual high and low thresholds offers the best utilization
of resource and power saving on the microcontroller. With
just 20 mA pulse current, the VCNL36687S can detect the
Kodak Gray Card in a distance of 20 cm, where other
sensors need 200 mA.
The 12 bits proximity sensing function uses an intelligent
cancellation scheme, so that cross talk is eliminated
effectivitely. To accelerate the PS response time, smart
persistence prevents the misjudgment of proximity sensing
but also allows for a fast response time. Active force mode,
one time trigger by one instruction, is a feature offering more
power saving.
PS functions are easily operated via the simple command
format of I
2
C (SMBus compatible) interface protocol.
Operating voltage ranges from 1.65 V to 1.95 V.
VCNL36687S is packaged in a lead (Pb)-free 8 pin molding
package, which offers the best market-proven reliability
quality.
