Vishay sensor wins two innovation awards
Vishay Intertechnology's VCSEL-based proximity sensor has won two industry awards programs: a 2024 China IoT Innovation Award in the 'IoT Annual Product Award: Sensor' category, and a 2024 EE Awards Asia Award in the 'Best Sensor of the Year (Most Promising Product)' category.
The VCSEL-based VCNL36828P combines a photodiode, ASIC, 16-bit ADC, and smart dual I²C slave address in a compact 2.0 mm by 1.0 mm by 0.5 mm surface-mount package.
Compared to previous-generation solutions, the device offers a 20 percent smaller package, 20 percent lower idle current of 5 μA, and 40 percent higher sunlight cancellation up to 140 klx. Combined with a range of 200 mm and a typical rated supply voltage of 1.8 V, the proximity sensor is designed to deliver superior proximity detection while reducing power consumption to increase efficiency in space-constrained, battery-powered applications.
The VCNL36828P is used in smartphones and smart watches for automatic screen wake-up and turn-off functions, in addition to detecting if users are wearing or not wearing true wireless stereo (TWS) earphones, virtual reality / augmented reality (VR / AR) headsets, and smart glasses. To lower costs in these applications, the proximity sensor’s smart dual I²C slave address allows for the connection of two proximity sensors without the need for a multiplexer.
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
