Proximity and ambient light sensing (ALS) module

• Three-in-one smart optical module – Proximity sensor – Ambient Light Sensor – VCSEL light source • Fast, accurate distance ranging – Measures absolute range from 0 to above 10 cm (ranging beyond 10cm is dependent on conditions) – Independent of object reflectance – Ambient light rejection – Cross-talk compensation for cover glass • Gesture recognition – Distance and signal level can be used by host system to implement gesture recognition – Demo system available: P-NUCLEO6180X1 evaluation board • Ambient light sensor – High dynamic range – Accurate/sensitive in ultra-low light – Calibrated output value in lux • Easy integration – Single reflowable component – No additional optics – Single power supply – I2C interface for device control and data – Provided with a documented C portable API (Application Programming Interface) • Two programmable GPIO – Window and thresholding functions for both ranging and ALS
