Proximity & Ambient Light Sensor
SystematIC offers a well-researched family of products that combines Ambient Light Sensing (ALS) and Infra-Red Proximity Sensing (PS) in a single SoC.
The Ambient Light Sensors work well with all kinds of light sources from natural sunlight to fluorescent and incandescent lamps with minimum detectable light of .001 lux. An ambient light rejection algortihm allows the IR Proximity Sensing operation in a wide range of ambient light conditions and even in the presence of large amounts of IR radiation.
Robust, temperature resilient, highly versatile sensor products are developed, ideal for improving the user experience by enhancing the screen interface with the ability to measure distance in real time and the ability to respond to ambient lighting conditions to control display backlight intensity in Smartphones.
Other applications may be found in Presence Detection in Industrial or Automotive environments.
