Vishay has introduced a new infrared (IR) sensor designed to provide fast, low-cost proximity sensing in a variety of systems. The TSSP4056 is the industry's first fixed-gain sensor containing a ...

Proximity detection adds many smart features to the devices we use.For example, when making a call with a phone held to your ear, face detection using proximity sensing can disable the touchscreen and ...

IR (infrared)-proximity sensors can sense the presence of an object, its distance from a reference, or both. Applications include speed detection, sensing of the hand in automatic faucets, automatic ...

Electronic enthusiasts may be interested in a new open source infrared sensor which has been created to support both Raspberry Pi and Arduino powered projects. The IR Detector proximity sensor has ...

Vishay’s VCNL4100 is an IR proximity sensor that works up to 1m, and includes an ambient light sensor. Inside, it combines an infra-red (940nm) emitter, photo detectors for proximity and ambient light ...

Proximity sensors have been around on our phones for quite a while and apart from detecting the presence of a human ear, it also locks the screen when the phone’s in the pocket and enables gesture ...

Time-of-flight (ToF) sensors open up new application areas and use cases for proximity sensing and presence detection technologies, and these sensors can add valuable functionalities and intelligence ...

IR sensors are now widely used in motion detectors, which are used in building services to switch on lamps. They are also used in alarm systems to detect unwelcome guests. Since all object have some ...
