Vishay VCNL36687S Proximity Sensor with VCSEL Emitter in One Package

The VCNL26687S Proximity Sensor is a low power device with the emitter, detector and signal processing circuitry in the single 3.05mm x 2mm x 1mm small package. The emitter is a VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser with a very narrow ± 3° emission angle. The VCNL36687S Proximity Sensor provides I2C interface for easy integration and flexible application design. The sensor is capable of detecting the presence of an object in range and also determining if the object is moving away from the sensor or towards the sensor.
