Proximity sensor reduces power consumption in wearables

Power consumption is reduced to just 6.63 microA by the Optoelectronics Group of Vishay Intertechnology in its VCNL36825T integrated proximity sensor. The surface mount package measures 2.0 x 1.25 x 0.5mm. It has a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) and a 1.6mm light hole. The sensor is suitable for space-constrained battery-powered applications can be used in consumer and industrial applications, such as true wireless stereo (TWS) and virtual reality / augment reality (VR / AR) headsets. The sensor has a range of 200mm, which means it also provides collision detection in toys and consumer and industrial robots.
