Description
The APDS-9960 provides digital ambient light sensing (ALS), IR LED, and a complete proximity detection system in a single 6 pin package. The proximity function offers plug and plays detection to 100 mm (without front glass) thus eliminating the need for factory calibration of the end equipment or sub-assembly. The proximity detection feature operates well from bright sunlight to dark rooms. The wide dynamic range also allows for operation in short-distance detection behind dark glass such as a cell phone. In addition, an internal state machine provides the ability to put the device into a low power mode in between ALS and proximity measurements providing very low average power consumption. Integrated ALS, an infrared LED, and a proximity detector optical module. Programmable upper and lower threshold with interrupt function.
