Its new APDS-91xx is a family of high-speed reflective proximity sensors.
Avago's new series of IR emitters and detectors can be used in devices such as smoke detectors, IR spotlights for cameras, and remote control devices.
Avago's new family of integrated reflective proximity sensors are ideal for use in applications that require high-speed switching for object detection or proximity sensing, such as packaging and assembly equipment, beverage dispensing machines, copiers and printers.
The ASDL series of low-cost IR emitters and detectors incorporates Avago's aluminium gallium arsenide on GaAs (AlGaAs/GaAs) LED technology and are available in T1, T13/4 and Side Look standard packaging and optimised to operate at wavelengths of 870 and 940nm to provide design flexibility.
These emitters and detectors provide designers with high reliability and complement Avago's existing line of IR emitter through-hole T1-3/4 and detector PolyLED packages.
Targeted for high-speed noncontact and fast speed switching industrial and office automation applications, Avago's APDS-91xx series of low-cost integrated reflective sensors incorporates an infra-red LED and a phototransistor in a single integrated module that has been designed to operate in low temperature environments.
Moreover, its compact design provides detection at distances from 8 to 12mm.
The new ASDL series of high-performance IR emitters and detectors further expands Avago's ability to provide customer with a wide range of low-cost IR emitters and detectors in a variety of package options and sizes.
Avago's APDS-91xx series is an addition to its existing line of integrated reflective proximity sensors and provides customers with more cost-effective solutions in the 8 mm to 12 mm detection range.
All products are lead-free and RoHS compliant.
