The AccuProx analog proximity sensor detects objects up to 25 mm away, four times the range of shielded and unshielded tubular analog sensors without compromising output accuracy. Typical applications ...

APDS-9801 is a module that integrates functions of an Analog ambient light sensor (ALS) and a proximity sensor (PS). The sensor has four chips in one small package: an ambient light sensor IC, ...

DW Series round metal inductive proximity sensors with analog outputs are now available from AutomationDirect in 8mm, 12mm, 18mm and 30mm cylindrical sizes. These reliable DC-powered (10-30V or 15-30V ...

An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...

The VCNL3020 proximity sensor from Vishay Intertechnology combines an IR emitter, photo-pin-diode, signal-processing IC, and 16-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) in a 4.85- by 2.35- by 0.83-mm ...

Two tiny ICs and a few passive components can yield a capacitive proximity sensor with excellent sensitivity and extremely fast response time. The circuit’s operation leverages the pulse-front-edge ...

Compared with digital proximity sensors, analog ones also have advantages in high-precision and continuous-monitoring applications. Where digital sensors will give a binary output, analog sensors give ...

The line of capacitive proximity sensors with potentiometer adjustment for sensitivity allows sensing of metal and nonmetal objects through insulating materials, such as wood or plastic. They are ...

Smart mobile devices are evolving quickly, offering an ever-increasing range of networking and media features that allow users to stay connected and entertained almost continuously. As a result, more ...

[mircemk] shows how to create a simple non-contact proximity sensor using little more than an Arduino Nano board, and a convenient software library intended to measure the value of capacitors. The ...

Ultrasonic proximity sensors emit a sound pulse that bounces back to the sensor from a target and generates an output signal. These sensors can detect metallic and non-metallic, transparent or opaque, ...
