Mikroe MIKROE-3439 Proximity 8 Click Board™
Mikroe MIKROE-3439 Proximity 8 Click Board™ is a close-range proximity sensing click board with VCNL36687S, a power-efficient Proximity Sensor (PS) with VCSEL. A Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) operates with digital and analog frontend circuits for simplified operation and minimal power consumption. A single command over the I2C interface can trigger this click board. The proximity 8-click board features fast PS response, intelligent crosstalk cancelation, and a programmable interrupt engine, which allows extremely useful logic output mode. This click board is ideal for IoT, battery-operated, mobile applications, and applications requiring low-power consumption and reliable close-range PS detection.
The VCNL36687S is a proximity sensor with VCSEL in a single package. This VCNL36687S proximity sensor features a 12-bit ADC and two registers to hold the output result. The VCNL36687S proximity sensor employs a smart cancelation scheme to improve the reliability of detection.
