【1】Functional Explanation
1-1 Abstract
GP2AP002S30F makes successive binary decisions whether reflective object exists, which GP2AP002S30F
irradiates IR light to and receives its reflection from, according to its internal algorithm. GP2AP002S30F controls
a built-in IR LED, irradiating time-varying pulse train which consists of elementary pulse having approximately
8 us duration. The number of pulses is at most three in one detection cycle (fundamental detection period is
approximately 8ms). Also, GP2AP002S30F detects reflection of these optical pulses synchronously and
asynchronously to LED emission in order to make such decisions.
The basic algorithm used in GP2AP002S30F to detect existence or absence of object is as follows.
<When proximity state (sensing result) changes from “no detection” to “detection”>
3-consective synchronous “true” detection of reflected optical pulses : detection of object existence
the other cases : no detection of object existence
<When proximity state (sensing result) changes from “detection” to “no detection”>
3-consective synchronous “false” detection of reflected optical pulses : detection of object absence
the other cases : no detection of object absence
GP2AP002S30F has internal registers to setup its functions in order to properly detect natural movement of the
human body. Following parameters are available to setup through I2C bus interface.

Output method control
Sensing result of the proximity is always output to the register PROX (ADDRESS 00H)’s VO bit.
On the other hand, the output method of Vout terminal can be switched over between two kinds of
operation, Normal output mode and Interrupt output mode. See 1-4 and【2】for more detail.
Software shutdown function
GP2AP002S30F has shutdown function by which all analog circuits go into shutdown mode and cease
to draw supply current. Current consumption of GP2AP002S30F in shutdown mode, Icc-s, is less than
1uA when I2C bus interface is not used.
Detection distance and Detection distance hysteresis
The sensitivity of GP2AP002S30F can be optimized by HYS register setting, resulting in intended range
of detection distance and its hysteresis characteristics. Note that the detection distance depends both on the
sensitivity and the peak power of LED emission. The latter is determined by current limiting resistor, R LED.
See【2】and【3】for more detail.
Detection cycle (response time)
Fundamental detection period of GP2AP002S30F is approximately 8 ms. The detection cycle can be
extended up to approximately 1 second by CYCLE register setting. The longer the detection cycle, the
lower the LED average current consumption, but the longer the response time, too. Please make sure
validity of the detection cycle setting in accordance with your own system. See 1-8 and 1-9 for more detail.
Analog sleep function
Under continuous operation, analog sleep function helps reduce average current consumption through Vcc
terminal (except for the one through VLED terminal). This function differs from 1-1-2 software shutdown
function, de-activating internal analog circuit intermittently and partly. See 1-7 and 1-9 for more detail.
The figure below shows the relationship between LED emission timing and detection cycle.

Note that 3-consecutive pulse per detection cycle is observed only if
the proximity is actually changing across the detection threshold.
The number of the pulse(s) per detection cycle can vary from 0 to 3,
depending on the proximity, distance and the amount of the internal
and external noises.
Therefore, the maximum duty cycle of LED emission is about 0.3%
(=3A/C).

1-2 I2C bus interface
GP2AP002S30F operates as a slave device on the I2C bus interface, having a 7-bit-slave address. Through the
SDA and SCL terminals, GP2AP002S30F’s registers can be set up, and also GP2AP002S30F’s sensing result
can be read out. However, the read format specified for GP2AP002S30F differs from the normal read format
(immediately after the firs byte) or the combined format shown in the I2C-bus specification. It is recommended
that proper operation procedures be implemented according to each host system’s requirements by consulting
with 1-2-2 and【2】.

There is only one word address 00H, PROX register, to be read out, so the word address need not be designated
as long as R/W is set to 1 (read). The VO bit expresses the latest proximity sensing result. It is forbidden to try
overwritng the VO bit. The other data bits in 00H register are not to be used.
(*) GP2AP002S30F’s read format is in a particular configuration that, in the 2 nd byte, IntCleat bit is written from
master to slave just before reading VO bit in the 3rd byte. For some host systems, it may be difficult to implement
such a read format Even if this is the case, it is possible to let GP2AP002S30F operate properly by implementing
the operation procedure described in 2-3-2.
1-3 Internal Register Map
When Vcc power supply is turned on, GP2AP002S30F starts up with internal power-on reset function,
whichinitializes all the register bit to 0. Also, after Vcc power supply is turned on, and stabilized at over 90%
of its final level, it is desirable for the host system of GP2AP002S30F to afford some time margin of about
1ms before issuing read/write commands for these registers.

: Proximity sensing result (0: no detection, 1: detection). It is forbidden to try overwriting the VO bit.
LED[0]
: Select switch for LED driver’s On-resistance (0: 2x higher, 1: normal setting). Use LED[0]=1.
HYSD, HYSC,HYSF: A set of these bits adjusts the receiver sensitivity, determining characteristics of the detection
distance and its hysteresis. For more details on the recommendations for GP2AP002S30F’s
operation modes and the corresponding register settings, see 1-6 and【2】.
Note that any register setting other than the above recommendations may lead to unspecified /
unexpected operation of GP2AP002S30F.
OSC[2]
: Select switch for internal clock frequency hopping (0: effective, 1: Not effective). Use OSC[2]=1setting.
CYCL[2:0] : Determine the detection cycle. Starting from 1x (initial setting) of fundamental detection period
(typically 8ms), up to 128x extention is possible. See 1-7 for more detail.
SSD
: Software shutdown function (0: shutdown mode, 1: operating mode). If SSD=0, no current is supplied
to the analog circuit, GP2AP002S30F ceases its operation. See 1-5 for more detail.
VCON
: Vout terminal output method control (0: normal mode, 1: interrupt mode). See 1-4 for more detail.
ASD
: Select switch for analog sleep function (0: ineffective, 1: effective). See 1-8 for more detail.
OCON[1:0] : Select switches for enabling/disabling Vout terminal (00: enable, 11: force to go High, 10: force to go
Low). By disabling Vout terminal, the output voltage is forced to go “H” or “L”, but it does not mean
the terminal gets into high-impedance state. By enabling Vout terminal, it normally operates according
to the VCON setting and the VO value. See【2】for more details on how to use this function.
1-4 Sensing Result and Output Method
1-4-1 Sensing Result
Proximity sensing result is always accessible as VO bit in PROX register (ADDRESS 00H) through I 2C data
bus (0: no object detected, 1: object detected). Normally, GP2AP002S30F updates the VO value in every
fundamental detection period (~8ms) based on its original algorithm to cope with modulated light noise, in
conjunction with a proper detection distance hysteresis. As described just below, when in Vout normal output
mode, GP2AP002S30F buffers VO value to Vout terminal, too. On the other hand, in Vout interrupt mode,
GP2AP002S30F makes Vout terminal’s operation change to create interrupt trigger signal and differently
updates VO value although the internal detection circuit and algorithm are the same. The latter output method
(interrupt mode) is useful in a host system in which periodic polling to read the VO value is not desirable.
1-4-2 Vout Terminal Output Method
1-4-2-1 Normal Output Mode
When register OPMOD (ADDRESS 04H), VCON bit is set to “0”, GP2AP002S30F operates in normal
output mode. Vout terminal outputs “L” or “H” when reflective object is detected or not, respectively.
Namely, the proximity sensing result, VO value, is also derived at Vout terminal in negative logic through
CMOS output buffer.

GP2AP002S30F
1-4-2-2 Interrupt Mode
When register OPMOD (ADDRESS 04H), VCON bit is set to “1”, GP2AP002S30F operates in interrupt
mode. Vout terminal makes a transition from “H” to “L” immediately after a sensing result has been
changed in either case: VO: from 0 to 1, or from 1 to 0. After making an interrupt, the Vout terminal
remains at “L” level and also the GP2AP002S30F’s internal state machine ceases its operation, therefore
the VO value is kept as the interrupt occurred.

interrupt clear
High
Vout terminal
（“H” to “L”:state change）
Low
For example, as shown in the figure below, after the 1 st interrupt transition, although the reflective object
once goes away beyond the detection threshold and gets back closer again, the VO value is still maintained
as “1” (grayed area). While the Vout terminal is kept Low, GP2AP002S30F’s internal analog parts are active,
but its state machine ceases sensing operation until IntClear bit is flagged to 1. Then, after restarting the
sensing operation, if a newly derived sensing result differs from the previously one, GP2AP002S30F
generates another interrupt signal again. In such a way, the VO value can be read out at any time convenient
to the host system as accurately as in the normal output mode operation.

1-5 Software Shutdown
Register OPMOD (ADDRESS 04H), SSD bit switches over: 1: operating mode, 0 : shutdown mode. In shutdown
mode, no current is supplied to the analog circuit, GP2AP002S30F ceases its operation.
Going shutdown under Vout Normal output mode operation, use following 04H address data:
OPMOD register（ADDRESS 04H）
d'000
b'00000000
h'00
Going shutdown under Vout interrupt mode operation, use following 04H address data:
OPMOD register（ADDRESS 04H）
d'002
b'00000010
h'02
When Vcc power supply is turned on, GP2AP002S30F starts up in shutdown mode. The initial value of VO bit is
always 0 (no detection). Regardless of SSD bit value, the register settings once written are maintained until Vcc
power supply is turned off. However, the sensing result, VO bit, is reset to 0 when SSD bit goes up to 1.
Also, before going into shutdown mode, GP2AP002S30F surely turns off its LED driver circuit.
In the interrupt mode, Vout terminal stays normally “H”, and then taking “H” or “L” depending on the proximity of
the object. When going shutdown, Vout terminal is immediately forced to go “H” regardless of the previous output
level, Therefore, it is recommended that the host system of GP2AP002S30F should forbid interrupt input signal before
issuing shutdown command to GP2AP002S30F. In addition, when going back to operating mode, the host system
should permit interrupt input signal after necessary register settings are made. See【2】for more detail.

1-6 Sensitivity and Detection Distance Hysteresis Adjustment
GP2AP002S30F prevents its sensing result from chattering due to internal random noise at any detection distance.
This can be done by adopting internal detection threshold levels according to the VO value. Characteristics of the
detection distance and its hysteresis can be set by choosing HYSD, HYSC and HYSF registers properly. In【2】,
recommended operation mode / register setting procedure, three kinds of operation mode are explained as typical
combinations of these register settings. Following are brief explanations for HYS register setting.
For recommended operation mode A:
HYSD=1, HYSC[1:0]= 10, HYSF[3:0]= 0010
HYS register（ADDRESS 02H）
d'194
b'11000010
h'C2
HYSD=1 setting enables automatic threshold control according to the VO value.
For recommended operation mode B1:
According to the derived VO value , two kinds of HYS register setting are to be used:
When VO=0
HYSD=0, HYSC[1:0]= 10, HYSF[3:0]= 0000
HYS register（ADDRESS 02H）
d'064
b'01000000
h'40
HYSD=0, HYSC[1:0]= 01, HYSF[3:0]= 0000
HYS register（ADDRESS 02H）
When VO=1
d'032
b'00100000
h'20
By setting HYSD=0 (disabling the automatic threshold control function), higher sensitivity and laeger
hysteres than the operating mode A are available.
For recommended operation mode B2:
According to the derived VO value , two kinds of HYS register setting are to be used:
When VO=0
HYSD=0, HYSC[1:0]= 01, HYSF[3:0]= 0000
HYS register（ADDRESS 02H）
d'032
b'00100000
h'20
HYSD=0, HYSC[1:0]= 00, HYSF[3:0]= 0000
HYS register（ADDRESS 02H）
When VO=1
d'000
b'00000000
h'00
By setting HYSD=0 (disabling the automatic threshold control function), higher sensitivity and larger
hysteres than the operating mode A are available can be targeted. The internal receiver sensitivity is now 2
times higher than in the operation mode B1.
Note that, however, the higher the sensitivity, the poorer the immunity against external noises such as
power supply noise and fluorescent light noise etc. Care must be taken to make sure that the actual
electrical/optical implementation affords to choose this option.
1-7 Detection Cycle
The detection cycle of GP2AP002S30F can be extended from 1x of fundamental detection period (typically ~8ms)
to 128x, which is about 1 second long, by using CYCLE register (Address 03H), CYCL[2:0] bits. Extending
the detection cycle helps reduce average current consumption. It is also helpful for a host system when the update
cycle is too fast. The register settings to choose the detection cycle extension factor, N, are summarized below.

1-8 Analog Sleep Function
Register OPMOD (ADDRESS 04H), ASD bit determines if analog sleep function: 0: ineffective, 1: effective.
By setting ASD=1, GP2AP002S30F de-activates internal analog circuit intermittently and partly.
Analog sleep function helps minimize average operating power consumption. However, its operation is affected
by stability of Vcc line. Make sure validity of usage of this function under realistic environment and conditions.

1-9 On the Average Current Consumption
Average current consumption of GP2AP002S30F is the sum of the ones through Vcc and VLED terminals.
1-9-1 Average current consumption through Vcc terminal
This is prescribed and specified in spec 3-3. Analog sleep function effectively reduces Vcc average current
consumption to 1/3 times that of the corresponding specification in 3-3 (without analog sleep function).
In conjunction with analog sleep function, the longer the detection cycle, the smaller Vcc average current
consumption a little more . See【3】for. more detail
1-9-2 Average current consumption through VLED terminal
The longer the detection cycle, the smaller VLED average current consumption linearly.
VLED average current consumption can be estimated as follows:
[average current consumption through VLED] = [LED peak current (ILED)] x [Duty] x [1/N]
[LED peak current (ILED)] depends on external LED current limiting resistor value , R LED.
Recommended ILED value is in a range of up to 170mA (See 【2】).
[Duty] = 0.3%
By GP2AP002S30F’s detection algorithm, the maximum value of [Duty] is 0.3% (See 1-1).
[N] = cycle extension factor (See 1-7)
For example,
[average current consumption in VLED] = 170mA x 0.3% x [1/16] (detection cycle 128ms) = 32uA
1-10 On the Countermeasure against External Light Noise
External light noise sources, which may disturb GP2AP002S30F’s proper operation, include sunlight and artificial
illuminations. As there are various types of amplitude modulation among illumination light sources, it is rather
difficult to provide full and/or strict explanations. However, with brief classification of these noise sources, the
corresponding countermeasures built in GP2AP002S30F are described as follows.
DC light: Light noises whose amplitude (intensity) is not modulated, e.g. sunlight.
AC light 1: Light noises whose amplitude (intensity) is modulated at relatively low frequencies related to
commercial power lines, e.g. incandescent light or legacy fluorescent light.
AC light 2: Light noises whose amplitude (intensity) is not only modulated at relatively low frequencies related
to commercial power lines, but also modulated at higher frequencies, e.g. fluorescent light driven by
inverter.
Sheet No.: OP13039EN
Attachment-7
GP2AP002S30F
For these light noise sources, GP2AP002S30F’s operation is not guaranteed when one or more of them impinge(s)
on a built-in photo-detector such that their amplitude (intensity) exceeds the specification (3-3 maximum acceptable
illuminance, Ev) or beyond presumption of the specification. However, GP2AP002S30F is designed to work well
under ordinary indoor or even outdoor circumstances by the following two countermeasures.
1-10-1 Up to presumptive level
DC light: Receiver circuit is AC-coupled, designed to GP2AP002S30F’s own IR pulse.
DC light immunity should be referred to 3-3 maximum acceptable illuminance, Ev.
AC light 1: Receiver circuit is AC-coupled, designed to GP2AP002S30F’s own IR pulse.
AC-light-1 immunity should be in the same range of 3-3 maximum acceptable illuminance, Ev.
AC light 2: GP2AP002S30F tries to find proper time period to initiate its detection sequence as described below.
AC-light-2 immunity should cover ordinary indoor environment at office or home.
1-10-2 Beyond presumptive level
Regardless of the above noise source classification, if GP2AP002S30F detects their amplitude (intensity)
exceeds the presumptive level, GP2AP002S30F immediately reset the VO value to 0 (no detection) in every
detection cycle.
<GP2AP002S30F’s operation under AC light 2>
In the figure shown below, hatched area indicates time variation of AC light 2 intensity. The envelope of the
modulated intensity is periodically getting larger and smaller than a sensitivity threshold level. Obviously,
GP2AP002S30F cannot make any kinds of IR LED pulse detection as long as the envelope level is larger than the
threshold. In such a case, GP2AP002S30F makes successive “asynchronous” detections (without LED emission),
and continues to search for a moment to initiate “synchronous” detections (with LED emission) until the envelope
gets smaller than the threshold level.

<Malfunction due to unexpected strong AC light 2>
In spite of the above-mentioned countermeasure against AC light 2, under a very particular situation described below,
it can happen that GP2AP002S30F falls into unwanted state, e.g. the proximity sensing result is locked to “1” (object
detection). In case that a sort of locking happens, it can be reset to initial state by once letting GP2AP002S30F go
shutdown and then activating it again.

2-2 Recommended Operation Mode A
Recommended operation A assumes Vout normal output (VCON=0) and 02H HYS register’s HYSD=1. This
combination leads to GP2AP002S30F’s automatic, continuous operation after its initialization procedure. However,
compared with recommended operation mode B in 2-3, the mode A can only provide relatively shorter detection
distances and less flexibility to expand detection distance hysteresis while keeping the same detection distance.
In the Vout normal output mode, IntClear bit is ineffective (disregarded).

2-3 Recommended Operation Mode B
(Procedures shown below correspond to operation mode B1. The only difference in register settings between B1 and
B2 is HYSC[1:0] setting. See 1-6.)
Provided that GP2AP002S30F operate in the interrupt mode (VCON=1), operation mode B’s can target relatively
longer detection distance and larger detection distance hysteresis, compared with operation mode A, by setting HYS
register according to the derived VO value.
In accordance with the following procedures in 2-3-1 and 2-3-2, GP2AP002S30F can be dealt by host systems which
may differ from each other in terms of signal processing when interrupt signal comes in: level-sense type or
edge-triggered type. To this end, in addition to the VO-dependent 02H HYS register setting, it is also necessary to set
up 06H CON register’s CON[4:3] bits. Note that the CON[4:3] settings disable Vout output, however, which means
Vout terminal forced to go “H”or“L”state and does not mean to get high impedance state.
2-3-1 When the read format Acceptable
The following procedures in 2-3-1-1 and 2-3-1-2 are applicable when a host system is able to write arbitrarily
from master to slave in the 2nd byte (after the 1st byte transmission of the slave address with read request) of
the three-byte read format described in 1-2-2, that is, IntClear bit of the 2nd byte’s MSB can be set to either
1 (SDA: H) or 0 (SDA: L).
On the other hand, for a host system that can only makes a dummy read for the 2nd byte, that is, IntClear bit is
no other than 1 (SDA: H) by doing so, consider implementing the other procedures described in 2-3-2.

avoid this difficulty.

2-3-2 When the read format Unacceptable
The following procedure in 2-3-2-1 are recommended to use when a host system is not able to write arbitrarily
from master to slave in the 2nd byte of the three-byte read format as described in 1-2-2, that is, the host system
is not able to pull down the SDA line (i.e., IntClear=0) in the read transaction.
Differences between the procedures described here and those in 2-3-1 are summarized below. First, the host
system should have its own variable for proximity sensing result, e.g. MVO (master's VO), as GP2AP002S30F
has its own VO value. Also, the host system should update the MVO value by counting GP2AP002S30F’s
interrupt signal generation instead of referring to the VO value. Then, HYS and the other register settings are
made according to the current MVO value. In the last part of the procedures, the VO value is finally read out
and compared with the MVO value in order to check if the both values correspond. In this way, the following
procedure prevent a host system from being exposed to potential erroneous detection, as well as the procedures
in 2-3-1 do, by letting IntClear bit be 1 after the necessary settings have been made. If MVO and VO values do
not correspond, they should be initialized (reset to 0 : no detection) at the same time. The VO value can be reset
by letting GP2AP002S30F go shutdown and re-activating it again.

Note 1:
To extend the detection cycle from fundamental period (~8ms), see 1-7.
To use Analog Sleep function, see 1-8.
Note 2:
The VO value is always 0 (no detection) after this procedure, so the MVO value should
also be initialized to 0.
Procedure 2 : Permit host’s interrupt input.
Procedure 3 : Vout terminal changes from “H” to “L”.
At this moment, do not read the VO value (i.e., Do not clear the interruption). Instead, update
the MVO value (master’s VO value) as follows. By counting the interrupt transitions from
Procedure 1 throughout the entire operation, the host system should recognize that at
odd-numbered interruptions, including the 1 st one here, the VO value has changed from 0 to 1,
and at even-numbered interruptions, from 1 to 0, respectively.
Procedure 4 : Forbid host’s interrupt input.
Procedure 5 : According to the MVO value derived at procedure 3, write HYS register through I2C bus
interface as follows:

Procedure 7 : Read the VO value in the 3 byte of the read format described in 1-2-2 with a dummy read for
the 2nd byte (i.e., SDA is kept at H there). GP2AP002S30F regards the dummy byte's MSB as
IntClear flagged to 1. Note that, in the 2nd byte, GP2AP002S30F also ACKnowledges
according to its read format until next SCL falling edge comes in.
Then, compare the MVO value and the VO value:
A) If the MVO is corresponding to the VO values, go to Procedure 8.
B) If not, it should be recognized that there is something unexpected in the device's I/O part or
somewhere else in the I2C bus interface. Therefore, it is recommended to reset
GP2AP002S30F and the MVO value as follows. (However, this example of error treatments
can be changed independently from the other Procedures 1 through 10 described here.)
