AP3216 DIGITAL AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR

Description:

The AP3216C is an ambient light source (ALS) & proximity sensor (PS) module that includes an ALS sensor, a PS, and an IR LED in a package. This module is very suitable for applications under the transparent or dark glass.

The performance of the near-distant distances is better and is suitable for identifying objects at distances close to the good visibility area.

Using the multiple proximity control, multiple LED control and 10-bit ADC output, this unit is specifically designed to eliminate the problem of reflection of objects, such as black hair.
