Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Optical Sensors - Ambient Light, IR, UV Sensors VCNL36826S

The VCNL36826S is an integrated proximity sensor featuring a vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) and an I¬=C interface. It is designed for applications such as handheld devices, consumer electronics, and industrial uses. The sensor operates within a supply voltage range of 2.62 V to 3.6 V and supports low power consumption modes, making it suitable for battery-operated devices. This component includes programmable interrupt features with adjustable high and low thresholds, allowing for efficient resource utilization and power savings. It has a maximum operating range of 200 mm and can handle ambient light conditions up to 100 klx, thanks to its sunlight cancellation capability. The device is housed in a compact surface-mount package measuring 2.55 mm x 2.05 mm x 1.0 mm, which is beneficial for space-constrained designs. The VCNL36826S also features temperature compensation, operating effectively in a temperature range of -40 ¬8C to +85 ¬8C. Its I¬=C bus output type allows for easy integration into existing systems. The product is packaged in tape and reel format, with a minimum order quantity of 3000 pieces.
