The APDS-9120 proximity sensor combines a built-in signal conditioning IC, emitter and detector into a single package which offers both analog and digital output options for easy installation. This proximity sensor is ideal for use in mobile phones, PDAs, handheld games, and notebook computers. With a surface mountable package size that is 1.1 mm thick by 4.4 mm by 4.4 mm, the APDS-9120 offers many technical features required by mobile phone manufacturers such as an extended detection range, and superior signal conditioning circuitry which offers superior performance in bright sunlight conditions. The APDS-9120 integrated proximity sensor is very robust and provides application designers with ease of implementation as it eliminates the need for an external LED driver, signal filtering and amplification, as well as sunlight and ambient light immunity. This sensor also incorporates a stuck high protection circuit to preserve LED life…
