Two new subsystem reference designs from Maxim Integrated Products provide very accurate, low-power optical proximity sensing and enhance distributed control with a compact digital-input hub. The ...

Proximity sensing based on infrared signal acquisition and processing typically requires two parts to form the optical front end: an infrared LED and an optical sensor. The infrared LED beams infrared ...

PREMSTAETTEN, Austria--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ams (SIX: AMS), a leading worldwide supplier of high performance sensor solutions, today introduced a 1.44mm-wide fully integrated color/ambient light/proximity ...

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. Most proximity sensors emit an electromagnetic field or beam and look for changes in the field. The object being sensed is called a target.

STMicroelectronics' TMOS sensors handle presence sensing using a 5- to 20-µm passive IR sensor. This provides more accurate results as well as information about the distance rather than just a basic ...

The VCNL3020 proximity sensor from Vishay Intertechnology combines an IR emitter, photo-pin-diode, signal-processing IC, and 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in a 4.85- by 2.35- by 0.83-mm ...
