APDS9960 Close Range Environmental Light Three in One Sensor Attitude and Gesture Sensor Quality Assurance

Product Descriptions

The APDS-9960 device features advanced Gesture detection, Proximity detection, Digital Ambient Light Sense (ALS) and Color Sense (RGBC). 

The slim modular package, L 3.94 x W 2.36 x H 1.35 mm, incorporates an IR LED and factory calibrated LED driver for drop-in compatibility with 

existing footprints.

Gesture detection

Gesture detection utilizes four directional photo diodes to sense reflected IR energy (sourced by the integrated LED) to convert physical motion 

information (i.e. velocity, direction and distance) to a digital information. The architecture of the gesture engine features automatic activation 

(based on Proximity engine results), ambient light subtraction, cross-talk can celation, dual 8-bit data converters, power saving inter-conversion 

delay, 32-data set FIFO, and interrupt driven I2C communication. The gesture engine accommodates a wide range of mobile device gesturing 

requirements: simple UP-DOWN-RIGHT-LEFT gestures or more complex gestures can  be accurately sensed. Power consumption and noise are 

minimized with adjustable IR LED timing.
