APDS-9700
Signal Conditioning IC for Optical Proximity Sensors
Data Sheet
Description
Features
APDS-9700 is a signal conditioning IC that enhances the
performance and robustness of the optical sensors used
for proximity or object detection.
ꢀꢁ Low power consumption
ꢂꢁ LED pulse width control
ꢂꢁ Low shut down current
APDS-9700 is a single chip solution that consists of a LED
driver circuit, sunlight cancellation and built-in LED stuck
high protection circuit integrated into a single chip. APDS-
9700 has artificial light immunity and is also operational
under the sun. Design flexibility is optimized as APDS-
9700 can be paired up with an integrated proximity sen-
sor or discrete pair solution.
ꢂꢁ External LED drive-current control
ꢀꢁ Complete shutdown mode
ꢀꢁ Supply voltage : 2.4 V to 3.6 V
ꢀꢁ Operational in sunlight conditions up to 100klux(with
HSDL-9100)
ꢀꢁ Artificial light immunity
APDS-9700 can be disabled to maximize power savings
and battery life in applications such as portable or bat-
tery-operated devices. The LED current of the optical
proximity sensors can be configured to different levels
using a limiting resistor at the LEDA pin. APDS-9700 also
provides user flexibility to control the pulse width with
suitable burst rate, duty cycle and frequency that can re-
duce power consumption. These low power consump-
tion features makes it also ideal for low power mobile and
handheld devices.
ꢀꢁ Analog & Digital output available
ꢂꢁ Built in hysteresis comparator for digital output
ꢀꢁ LED stuck High protection
ꢀꢁ Wide bandwidth Trans-impedance amplifier
ꢀꢁ External capacitor and resistor for integration and gain
controls
ꢀꢁ Flexibility to enhance detection distance up to 200mm
with HSDL-9100 or further with external discretes pair
APDS-9700 is capable of operating at voltage supply rang-
ing from 2.4 V to 3.6 V. APDS-9700 has two separate out-
put pins for analog and digital outputs. This provides flex-
ibility to use either the analog or digital output (or both)
depending on the requirements of the application.
ꢀꢁ Small 2mm x 2mm QFN 8-pin package
ꢀꢁ Design flexibility to pair with Avago Proximity Sensors
or discretes pair solution
ꢀꢁ Lead-free & ROHS Compliant
The device is packaged in 8-pin QFN package measuring
0.55mm(H) x 2mm(W) x 2mm(L).
