Fully Integrated Proximity and Ambient Light Sensor With
Infrared Emitter, I
2
C Interface, and Interrupt Function
DESCRIPTION
The VCNL4010 is a fully integrated proximity and ambient
light sensor. Fully integrated means that the infrared emitter
is included in the package. It has 16 bit resolution. It
includes a signal processing IC and features standard I
2
C
communication interface. It features an interrupt function.
APPLICATIONS
Proximity sensor for mobile devices (e.g. smart phones,
touch phones, PDA, GPS) for touch screen locking, power
saving, etc.
Integrated ambient light function for display/keypad
contrast control and dimming of mobile devices
Proximity/optical switch for consumer, computing and
industrial devices and displays
Dimming control for consumer, computing and industrial
displays
