DESCRIPTION
The VCNL4020X01 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,
PDAs, GPS) for touch screen locking, power saving etc.
- Automotive for presence detection
• Integrated ambient light function for display / keypad
contrast control and dimming of mobile devices
• Rear view mirror dimming in automotive
• Proximity / optical switch for consumer, computing,
automotive and industrial devices, and displays (like
notebooks, tablet PCs, and automotive touch panels)
• Dimming control for consumer, computing, industrial, and
automotive displays
