Fully Integrated Proximity and Ambient Light Sensor with

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

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.

PROXIMITY FUNCTION

• Built-in infrared emitter and photo-pin-diode for proximity

function

• 16 bit effective resolution for proximity detection range

ensures excellent cross talk immunity

• Programmable LED drive current from 10 mA to 200 mA in

10 mA steps

• Excellent ambient light suppression by modulating the

infrared signal

• Proximity distance up to 200 mm

AMBIENT LIGHT FUNCTION

• Built-in ambient light photo-pin-diode with close-to-

human-eye sensitivity

• 16 bit dynamic range from 0.25 lx to 16 klx

• 100 Hz and 120 Hz flicker noise rejection
