proximity sensorVCSEL940 nmI2C12-bitinterruptSMD

VCNL36826S is a compact I2C proximity sensor combining a 940 nm VCSEL and 12-bit proximity measurement in an 8-pin SMD package.

Best for

  • Space-constrained proximity sensing
  • Battery-sensitive handheld and consumer devices
  • I2C-connected industrial proximity detection

Avoid if

  • A fixed calibrated detection distance is required without system-level optical validation
  • The available supply is below 3.29 V while 20 mA VCSEL drive is required

Check before use

  • Validate proximity counts with the target surface, cover lens, and enclosure.
  • Confirm VDD margin for the selected VCSEL current.
  • Select and test high/low thresholds, persistence, and cancellation.
