APDS-9960
Digital Proximity, Ambient Light, RGB and Gesture Sensor
Data Sheet
Description
The APDS-9960 device features advanced Gesture detec-
tion, Proximity detection, Digital Ambient Light Sense
(ALS) and Color Sense (RGBC). The slim modular package,
L 3.94 × W 2.36 × H 1.35 mm, incorporates an IR LED and
factory calibrated LED driver for drop-in compatibility
with existing footprints.
Gesture detection
Gesture detection utilizes four directional photodiodes to
sense reflected IR energy (sourced by the integrated LED)
to convert physical motion information (i.e. velocity, direc-
tion and distance) to a digital information. The architec-
ture of the gesture engine features automatic activation
(based on Proximity engine results), ambient light sub-
traction, cross-talk cancelation, dual 8-bit data convert-
ers, power saving inter-conversion delay, 32-dataset FIFO,
and interrupt-driven I²C-bus communication. The gesture
engine accommodates a wide range of mobile device ges-
turing requirements: simple UP-DOWN-RIGHT-LEFT ges-
tures or more complex gestures can be accurately sensed.
Power consumption and noise are minimized with adjust-
able IR LED timing.
