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.

Miniature TVS diodes save space for bi-directional over-voltage protection
TVS diodes released by TDK extend the company’s portfolio of components for bidirectional overvoltage protection of I/O interfaces.
MEMS barometric pressure sensors have lowest noise pressure, says TDK
Claimed to achieve the industry’s lowest pressure noise of 0.4 Pa RMS and attain the industry’s lowest power consumption of 1.3 microA, the InvenSense ICP-10125 is the latest addition to the SmartPressure family of TDK’s MEMS barometric pressure sensors.
Enclosures warn when wearer is ‘too close’
Helping maintain social distancing, OKW’s Body-Case and Minitec wearable enclosure can be used for proximity warning electronics to ensure a safe distance is maintained in the fight against Covid-19. They can be used to safeguard personnel in warehouses, distribution centres, factories and any other roles where working from home is impossible but in which a safe 2m distance from other co-workers must be maintained.
