Product Code: MIKROE-5300

The Proximity 18 Click Board? is a compact add-on board that contains a close-range proximity sensing solution. This board features the VCNL3036X01, a high-resolution digital proximity sensor from Vishay Semiconductors. Besides the proximity sensing part, the VCNL3036X01 also integrates a mux and a driver for three external LEDs, which are located near the chip on the board, photodiodes, amplifiers, and analogue to digital converting circuits into a single chip by CMOS process. It allows absolute distance measurement, whatever the target colour and reflectance, providing an accurate range of up to 50cm. This Click board? is suitable for proximity/optical switch applications for consumer, computing, automotive, and industrial purposes.
