DESCRIPTION
The VCNL4010 is a fully integrated proximity and ambient
light sensor. Fully integrated means that the infrared emitter
is included in the package. It has 16 bit resolution. It
includes a signal processing IC and features standard I2C
communication interface. It features an interrupt function.
APPLICATIONS
• Proximity sensor for mobile devices (e.g. smart phones,
touch phones, PDA, GPS) for touch screen locking, power
saving, etc.
• Integrated ambient light function for display/keypad
contrast control and dimming of mobile devices
• Proximity/optical switch for consumer, computing and
industrial devices and displays
• Dimming control for consumer, computing and industrial
displays

infrared signal
• Proximity distance up to 200 mm
AMBIENT LIGHT FUNCTION
• Built-in ambient light photo-pin-diode with close-to-
human-eye sensitivity
• 16 bit dynamic range from 0.25 lx to 16 klx
• 100 Hz and 120 Hz flicker noise rejection
