APDS-9120 is an integrated optical proximity sensor that combines built-in signal conditioning and space-saving packaging technology. This optical proximity sensor provides ease of implementation as ...

San Jose, Calif.—Avago Technologies has developed an ultra-thin integrated optical proximity sensor for use in a wide range of portable consumer electronic devices, and personal computers. Avago's ...

Where the original Theremin sensed hand proximity using two antenna-like capacitive sensors to control note frequency and volume, this design relies on two optical sensors to do the same job.

Proximity sensors detect objects without physical contact. ... allowing them to replace optical devices. A typical capacitive proximity sensor has a 10-mm sensing range and is 30 mm in diameter.

Optical proximity sensors can be found in most smartphones and they perform a number of functions. For example, the sensors turn off the screen when you’re taking a call, ...

Integrating an optical touch switch in their compact, surface-mount packages, the SFH7740 and SFH7741 proximity sensors use distance measurements to detect a mobile device’s operating ...

Elliptic Labs has found a way to replace a staple of smartphones — the hardware optical proximity sensor — with an ultrasound software solution. Proximity sensors are a key component that turn ...

When you make a phone call, there's a reason your ear doesn't press all the on-screen buttons. The optical sensor near the earpiece is that reason. Thing is, the sensor needs an opening to see if ...

Murata believes its LT-1PA01 combined sensor is the smallest of its type in the world. The surface-mounted device measures 3.05 by 2.10 by 1.10 mm and integrates an optical proximity ...
