Vishay Intertechnology's VCNL36828P combines a photodiode, application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), 16-bit ADC, and smart dual I²C slave address in a 2.0mm by 1.0mm by 0.5mm surface-mount package.

Compared to previous-generation solutions, offers a 20% smaller package, 20% lower idle current of 5μA, and 40% higher sunlight cancellation up to 140klx. Features a range of 200mm and a typical rated supply voltage of 1.8V and is designed to deliver superior proximity detection while reducing power consumption to increase efficiency in space-constrained, battery-powered applications. Offers a programmable interrupt function that allows designers to specify high and low thresholds to reduce continuous communication with the microcontroller, and uses intelligent cancellation to reduce crosstalk, while a smart persistence scheme ensures accurate sensing and a faster response time. VCSEL wavelength peaks at 940nm and has no visible "red-tail." Is RoHS-compliant, halogen-free, and Vishay Green.
