Proximity Sensors
Proximity Sensing
from 2 mm to 2 m
Many applications require a sensor that detects not only the presence of an object, but also its relative
proximity. Vishay’s proximity sensors emit pulses of infrared light which reflect off an object back to the
sensor. The strength of that reflected signal is used to determine the proximity of the object. A change
in the reflected signal strength can be used to determine if an object is moving toward or away from
the sensor.

INTEGRATED PROXIMITY AND AMBIENT LIGHT SENSORS
VCNL3020, VCNL4020
VCNL4020X01
VCNL4010
The VCNL4010, VCNL4020, and VCNL4020X01 are fully integrated proximity and ambient light sensors. Fully integrated means they contain the infrared emitter and photo detector for proximity, an ambient light sensor, a signal
processing IC, and I2C communication interface. VCNL4020X01 is qualified for automotive applications. It has a
maximum operating temperature of 105 ˚C. The VCNL3020 supports only proximity sensing; it does not contain an
ambient light sensor. With full 16-bit resolution for both the proximity and ambient features, user-defined interrupt
levels, and multiple packaging options, the VCNL portfolio will fulfill your requirements.

CURRENT CONSUMPTION
When only the I2C interface is active, the current consumption is only 1.5 μA. When proximity is active, the current
consumption is a function of the emitter current and the measurements per second. A current calculator is available at
http://www.vishay.com/optoelectronics/opto-sensors-calculator/.

Proximity Sensors
Vishay’s VCNL portfolio sense proximity ranges from 2 mm to 1 m. The VCNL3020, VCNL4020, and VCNL4010 by themselves
feature a sensing range up to 20 cm. Add an external emitter and the range increases to up to 50 cm. Add an external driver
and the range again increases to up to 1 m.

OPTOELECTRONICS
Proximity Sensors
IR RECEIVERS
The IR receiver-based sensors sense proximity using an onboard AGC circuit that reduces the gain in response to a reflected
long burst signal from an IR emitter. The amount of time required to completely suppress the signal, and correspondingly the
output pulse width, is proportional to the strength of the signal, which in turn is inversely proportional to the distance to the
object. A near object reflects more light, resulting in a longer pulse width. A longer pulse width takes more time to suppress.
Based on this time, the relative proximity of the object can be determined. Depending on the IR Emitter and Sensor package
(see table below), ranges from 5 cm to 2 meters can be sensed.
