Vishay VCNL36826S VCSEL Integrated Proximity Sensor combines a high-power VCSEL (vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser), a photodiode for proximity measurement, and a signal processing IC in a single package with a 12-bit ADC. The device provides proximity sensing to minimize accidental touch inputs. With a range up to 20cm (7.9"), this stand-alone component simplifies the use and design-in of a proximity sensor as no mechanical barriers are required to optically isolate the emitter from the detector. The VCNL36826S is offered in a miniature, surface mount, 2.5mm x 2.05mm leadless package (LLP) with a low 1.0mm profile. The device is designed to meet the low height requirements of smartphones, mobile phones, digital cameras, and tablet PC applications.
