LCD panels are available from stock
Sharp Microelectronics LCD panels are available from stock in sizes ranging from 3.5in QVGA up to 15in TFT XGA.
When used with optical proximity sensors, the IC provides accurate and robust detection of objects in ambient light and sunlight conditions and will allow design engineers to package more functionality into those applications where printed circuit board space is limited.
As a result, the APDS-9700 will provide designers with a solution that offers ease of implementation and cost savings.
Packaged in an eight-pin QFN package measuring 0.55 x 2 x 2mm, the IC combines the functionality of signal conditioning for proximity sensing into a single chip to reduce the number of required components.
The APDS-9700 includes an LED driver circuit, artificial light immunity, sunlight cancellation and a built-in LED stuck high protection circuit to enable operation in artificial or sunlight conditions.
The signal conditioning IC is suitable for use in devices including PDAs, mobile phones, handheld games and laptop computers, as well as vending machines, industrial automation equipment, contactless switches and sanitary automation devices.
