ambient light sensorproximity sensorI²C940 nm IREDoptical sensor10-pin SMD

VCNL4200 is an integrated I²C ambient-light and long-distance proximity sensor with a 940 nm IRED, programmable thresholds, and selectable ALS sensitivity.

Best for

  • I²C-based ambient-light measurement
  • Presence and proximity detection
  • Lighting-control systems

Avoid if

  • A fixed proximity distance is required without optical calibration
  • The design cannot support the required IRED pulse-current supply path

Check before use

  • Confirm operation at 2.5 V to 3.6 V
  • Set ALS integration time for required lux range
  • Characterize proximity thresholds with the final lens and enclosure
