Vishay Semiconductors VCNL3036X01 High Res Digital Proximity Sensors

Vishay Semiconductors VCNL3036X01 High-Resolution Digital Proximity Sensors with I2C Interface integrates a mux and a driver for up to 3 external IREDs into one small package. The VCNL3036X01 Sensors utilize the CMOS process to incorporate photodiodes, amplifiers, and analog to digital converting circuits into a single chip.

The Vishay VCNL3036X01 Digital Proximity Sensors has programmable interrupt features of individual high and low thresholds, allowing optimization of resources and power saving on the microcontroller. The Proximity Sensors have an operating voltage of 2.5V to 3.6V and are ideal for force feedback applications.
