The APDS-9800 integrated ambient light and proximity sensor module comes in a 1.45 x 4.95 x 3.0-mm surface-mountable package that suits cell phones and other handheld portable devices. The unit has an extended detection range and signal-conditioning circuitry that permits top performance in bright sunlight.
The module consists of an LED emitter, a detector, a proximity sensor, a signal-conditioning IC, and an ambient light sensor IC whose spectral response is close to the human eye’s. The proximity IC has high ambient-light cancellation capability, and the module’s shutdown mode conserves battery life. (From $2.10 ea / 2,500 — available now.)
