Vishay Semiconductors VCNL36826M Proximity Sensor

Vishay Semiconductors VCNL36826M Proximity Sensor (PS) uses the CMOS process to incorporate photodiodes, amplifiers, and analog-to-digital converting circuits into a single chip. The PS programmable interrupt features of individual high and low thresholds offer the best utilization of resources and power savings on the microcontroller. This sensor operates at a 2.74V to 3.6V supply voltage range and a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The VCNL36826M sensor is ideal for handheld devices, consumer devices, and industrial applications.
